'''Butch''' (Japanese: '''コサブロウ''' ''Kosaburō'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a former member of [[Team Rocket]] who occasionally came across {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} along with his partner [[Cassidy]].
 
==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Butch Cassidy trainee outfits.png|thumb|left|220px|Butch and Cassidy while studying at the Team Rocket Academy]]
Butch was a recruit in the [[Team Rocket Academy]] to become an official member of Team Rocket. He, along with [[Cassidy]] and {{p|Raticate}}, quickly became the top-performing group of trainees in the Blue Team. During a flashback in ''[[HS12|Training Daze]]'', Butch and his partners competed against [[Team Rocket trio|the Red Team]] in a practice heist to steal the red-colored {{p|Snorlax}}. Even though neither side managed to do so, they were made into official teams.
 
====[[Original series]]====
=====Kanto=====
[[File:Butch Cassidy Motto.png|thumb|250px|Butch and Cassidy]]
Butch debuted in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. Disguised as a worker in a Five-Star Breeding Center as part of a Pokémon-stealing scheme, he and Cassidy managed to capture many Pokémon, including [[Misty's Psyduck]] and [[James's Weepinbell]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} returned to the Breeding Center to retrieve Psyduck, only to discover the operation was fake and linked to [[Team Rocket]]. Butch overheard {{Todd}}'s camera flash and investigated, only to find out that it was {{AP|Pikachu}}'s electricity. The [[Team Rocket trio]] infiltrated the Breeding Center to rob the Pokémon there. However, they were caught, along with Ash and the others. The group, save Misty, Pikachu, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, were then trapped in a cage set up by Butch and Cassidy. Butch took Todd's camera and used it to frame the seven for breaking in. [[Officer Jenny]] arrived and had the prisoners taken into custody until Misty was able to prove that they were innocent. Butch and Cassidy were then defeated by [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and arrested by Officer Jenny.
 
=====Orange Archipelago=====
In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', it was revealed that {{an|Giovanni}} had bailed him and Cassidy out of jail. Using a {{p|Drowzee}} acquired from their fake Breeding Center, they {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} the Pokémon on [[Mandarin Island North]] into turning against their Trainers. Ash's group collaborated with the Team Rocket trio to get the Pokémon back. They managed to infiltrate their base, with Ash and the others demanding Butch and Cassidy to give back the Pokémon. However, Butch ordered Drowzee to make the hypnotized Pokémon attack them. Ash forced his Pikachu to attack him, in turn destroying the machine and freeing the controlled Pokémon. Afterwards, Butch and Cassidy were arrested again.
[[File:Butch rage.png|thumb|left|220px|Butch angry when his name is mispronounced]]
 
=====Johto=====
Butch and Cassidy began operating another fake {{pkmn|Day Care}} in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', this time giving away free fortune-telling books that will tell each Trainer which Pokémon they represent. Similar to their earlier fake Breeding Centers, Trainers dropped one of their Pokémon off, this time with the belief that the Day Care owners would help them [[trade]] Pokémon. Jessie and James went to the Day Care to steal the Pokémon there, but they encountered Butch and Cassidy, who revealed themselves, and were tied up, only for them to escape. Misty went to the Day Care to find out her Pokémon type, but instead discovered the cages full of stolen Pokémon. Butch caught Misty and her friends trying to free the caged Pokémon. Butch sent out {{p|Primeape}}, which managed to defeat her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. Jessie and James's next attempt to steal from their rivals also failed. Butch then noticed Ash's group trying to free the Pokémon again, prompting him and Cassidy to battle them, but they were defeated. Afterwards, Officer Jenny arrived to arrest them.


==History==
Now working alongside [[Dr. Namba]], Butch and Cassidy were assigned to capture a {{OBP|Silver|Lugia|child Lugia}} spotted near [[Ogi Isle]]. From ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'' to ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Butch and Cassidy succeeded, catching both Silver and {{an|Lugia|its parent}} to help Dr. Namba perfect his "Rage Crown" invention. By ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', Ash, his friends and [[Ritchie]] were also captured for interfering. {{jo|Oliver}} led the counter-operation, freeing the captives and helping to rescue the two Lugia from Team Rocket's clutches. Jessie and James also assisted them, sinking the submarine and blasting Butch and Cassidy off using {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s {{m|Counter}}.
Butch was a recruit in the [[Team Rocket Academy]] to become an official member of Team Rocket. During a test he took, Butch along with [[Cassidy]] and {{p|Raticate}} as his partners have become the top group of trainees in the Blue Team. He and his partners compete with [[Team Rocket trio|the Red Team]] on catching the red-colored {{p|Snorlax}}. Even though neither side managed to do so, they were made into official teams.


===[[Original series]]===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and {{pkmn|Chronicles}}====
====Kanto====
Butch was a recurring antagonist in Pokémon Chronicles, often capturing certain Pokémon for Dr. Namba's R project. However, such attempts like at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' and stealing [[Caserin and Luverin]] from the [[Cerulean Gym]] in ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'' were thwarted.
Butch's first onscreen appearance was in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'' where he was in disguise as a worker in a Five-Star Breeding Center he and Cassidy owned. They managed to get many Pokémon due to their scheme including [[Misty's Psyduck]] and [[James's Weepinbell]]. {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}} enter the breeding center so {{an|Misty}} can retrieve her Psyduck, only to find out that it is fake. Butch overhears [[Todd Snap|Todd]]'s camera flash and investigates only to find out that it was {{AP|Pikachu}}'s electricity. Jessie, James and Meowth enter the breeding center to rob the Pokémon there. However, they were caught along with Ash and the others. He chases them with James retrieving his Weepinbell which evolved into Victreebel. The group, save for Misty, Pikachu and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, get trapped in a cage set up by Butch and Cassidy. Butch takes the camera to have the seven framed for breaking in. Officer Jenny arrives and has the caged people sent away until Misty was able to prove that they were innocent. Butch is then defeated by [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and gets arrested by Officer Jenny.


====Orange Archipelago====
In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', the pair kidnapped {{an|Professor Oak}} from {{an|Seafoam Island}}'s [[television]] station to learn more about [[Pokérus]]. [[DJ Mary]], {{Tracey}}, and [[Ritchie]] managed to track them down to an abandoned warehouse and send them blasting off.
Butch returns in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'' where it was revealed that {{an|Giovanni}} had bailed him and Cassidy of jail. They took a {{p|Drowzee}} that he got from their fake breeding center and orders the Drowzee to {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotize}} the Pokémon into turn against their Trainers. Ash and his friends have Jessie and James work with them to get the Pokémon back. They managed to infiltrate their base, with Ash and the others demanding Butch and Cassidy to give them back the Pokémon. It was no use as Butch once again orders Drowzee to make the hypnotized Pokémon attack their Trainers. Ash forces his Pikachu to attack him in order for the attack to hit the machine. As the machine was destroyed, all of the possessed Pokémon were free and Butch and Cassidy were arrested again.
[[File:Butch rage.png|thumb|left|200px|Butch angry when his name is mispronounced]]


====Johto====
Butch and Cassidy made cameos in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', where they were seen leaving Team Rocket HQ using jet packs.
Butch and Cassidy create a {{pkmn|Day Care}} in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' and they disguise themselves as innocent owners. He gives away Fortune Telling books that will tell each Trainer which Pokémon they present. Similar to the fake breeding center earlier, Trainers can drop of one of their Pokémon off, this time with the belief that the day care owners will help them [[trade]] Pokémon. Jessie and James go to the Day Care to steal the Pokémon there. However, they get stopped by Butch and Cassidy who reveal themselves and get tied up in the process, only for them to escape. Misty goes to the Day Care to find out about her Pokémon type but finds out that it was a fake Day Care as part of the Team Rocket duo's scheme to steal Pokémon. Butch manages to catch Misty and her friends from freeing the caged Pokémon. Butch sends out {{p|Primeape}} which manages to defeat her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. The Team Rocket trio come in with James in his Moltres costume. Butch tells him that his fortune was not real. Afterwards, he has his Primeape finish off Jessie, James and Meowth with Cassidy's Raticate blasting them off. Butch then notices Ash, Misty and {{an|Brock}} trying to free the Pokémon. He and Cassidy battle them but are defeated. Afterwards, Officer Jenny takes them away.


During the {{p|Lugia}} arc, Dr. Namba assigns Butch to capture said Pokémon. He does so by creating a Lugia decoy and manages to capture the {{jo|Silver|child Lugia}}. With the younger Lugia captured, Dr. Namba has Butch capture the parent Lugia using the child as bait. The parent Lugia falls for it but is stopped by Ash's and Ritchie's Pikachu. Butch is prepared and uses a contraption invented by Dr. Namba to make a Pokémon go in rage. Butch tries it on his Hitmontop and his Hitmontop successfully defeats the heroes' {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and [[Zippo|Charmeleon]], and catches the parent Lugia without any interference. The gang is also captured as well. In Team Rocket's base, Butch and Cassidy have a rematch with Ash and Ritchie using Pikachu and [[Sparky]], respectively. The contraptions on the opposing side's Pokémon are removed and get defeated by the Pikachu. After their defeat, the duo have a rematch with their rivals in Team Rocket. It becomes a tie as both sides manage to free the parent Lugia and get blasted off.
In ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch!]]'', Butch and Cassidy hosted a fake tournament in [[Sable City]] in a ploy to steal the competitors' Pokémon. After the Team Rocket trio split up, Jessie forced Butch to be her replacement partner in an attempt to make off with all of the Pokémon. Similarly, Cassidy made James her new partner. However, the two Team Rocket teams rearranged following several frustrations, with Jessie returning to James. The theft plot was then stopped, and the stolen Pokémon were recovered due to the intervention of Ash and his friends.


==={{series|Advanced Generation}} and {{pkmn|Chronicles}}===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Butch becomes a recurring antagonist in Pokémon Chronicles, often capturing certain Pokémon for Dr. Namba's R project. So far, he has made various attempts to capture rare and unseen Pokémon but fails every time.
In ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'', Butch and Cassidy used their Rhyhorn robot in an attempt to capture a {{p|Hippowdon}}. However, he was stopped by the other Hippowdon and a {{OBP|Hippopotas|recurring}}, who were aided by Ash and his friends.


Butch appears in ''[[AG064|True Blue Swablu]]'' during Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] when he was shown failing. He cameos in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' where he was seen on a motorized scooter and a jet pack. Butch then appears in ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch!]]'' where he hosts a fake tournament and sides with Jessie after she temporarily leaves James and Meowth. Their plan was found out by the heroes and were sent blasting off.
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Butch reappeared in ''[[JN095|The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky!]]'', running a bakery in a quiet coastal village alongside a {{p|Meowth}}. He served Jessie, Meowth, and Wobbuffet after they ran into him, commenting that he had left Team Rocket and Cassidy after getting fed up with the routine. The group helped Butch run his place as repayment for a few days; then Jessie and Wobbuffet continued their Team Rocket duties while persuading Meowth to stay, as he had taken interest in Butch's Meowth and seemed happier there.


==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
A heartbroken Meowth eventually left Butch after realizing Butch's Meowth was in love with a {{p|Persian}}.
Butch appeared in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'', where he is in his Rhyhorn robot and tries to capture a {{p|Hippowdon}}. However, he was stopped by Hippowdon, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Hippopotas}}, Ash and his friends.


==Character==
===Character===
Butch's partner is [[Cassidy]], and she is one of the few that usually manages to get his name right, much to his frustration. In one of the most famous running gags in the anime series, everyone else calls him "Biff," "Bilge," "Buzz," "Bill," "Bob," "Botch," "Buffy," "Butcher," "Chuck," "Clutch," "Footch," "Hooch," "Hutch," "Mitch," or "Patch" (コサンジ ''{{tt|Kosanji|mistake}}'' in Japanese). Sometimes when Cassidy gets it right, he, out of habit, tries to correct her and ends up calling ''himself'' the incorrect name. This, of course, annoys him to no end, so much so in the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'' that he said in frustration, "That does it, I am changing my name." In ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', to annoy James, he calls him "John."

It was thought that Giovanni and Dr. Namba recognized Butch and Cassidy as higher-ranked members than [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}. However, in the Best Wishes series, this was proven wrong, as Giovanni himself told them they were his highest ranked agents.
It appears that Giovanni and Dr. Namba recognized Butch and Cassidy as higher-ranked members than [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}. However, this did not seem to be the case during ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White'', as Giovanni himself told them they were his highest-ranked agents.
