Team Rocket's mechas: Difference between revisions

'''Team Rocket's mechas''' usually refers to mechas used by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in one of their wild schemes. Throughout the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{TRT}} has had many robots and machines. It is unknown how they get them, since they usually have little money, and how they are transported to the location it is to be used at. Most of the time, the robots fail to accomplish their functions and are destroyed, some even before getting a chance to be used. They first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' with the debut of the Meowth Balloon. One-time mechas began to appear from ''[[EP034|The Kangaskhan Kid]]''.

Sometimes in [[Sinnoh]], {{MTR}} was referred to as the brain behind the trio's mechas. The nomenclature of some one-time mechas such as "Mark 2" or "Model 2" also seems to suggest that previous versions of those mechas were designed offscreen but failed.

====Team Rocket's balloons====

| [[File:Original Balloon.png|250px]]

| ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''

| Consists of a Meowth head with a raised paw and tail at the back, a green basket, and two beige sandbags. It has often been Team Rocket's main mode of [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|transportation]] and can be given many attachments including rockets, vacuums, nets, fists, cages, etc. It appeared regularly until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. The balloon returned in the credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', with the trio flying on it.

| ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]''

| Similar to the original Meowth balloon, but instead has a blue basket with the new Team Rocket logo and a pair of engines that replace the sandbags. The Meowth head now has blue eyes, and no longer has a paw sticking out. Appeared occasionally throughout the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black and White]]''.

| [[File:Team Rocket balloon XY.png|250px]]

| ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''

|The balloon was redesigned again in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. The basket is smaller and now has propeller engines on it. The Meowth head is more ribbed and has both its paws sticking out, as well as having its mouth open on its portion, unlike the previous generations.

| [[File:Team Rocket Balloon JN.png|250px]]

| ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]''

| Once again, the balloon was redesigned in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. The basket is once again green and has the new red Team Rocket logo. The sandbags return as well, replacing the propeller engines. The Meowth head is the same as in ''Pokémon the Series: XY''. It still retains the Meowth head design from ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', but it is smoother, and has a propeller on the back. As Team Rocket doesn't travel around the region to follow Ash, it is seen much less frequently than in the previous series. It remains in use in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', but once again, it isn't as frequently seen as before. It also appears in [[Pokémon GO]] alongside the trio.

| ''[[EP192|The Wayward Wobbuffet]]''

| Features a full-body Wobbuffet design, with the Team Rocket logo in the middle of its body. Uses a similar basket design as the Meowth balloon. It made occasional appearances until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', normally if the Meowth balloon was destroyed earlier on in an episode. After a long hiatus, it made a comeback in ''[[JN095|The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky!]]'', as a gift from Meowth to Jessie and Wobbuffet.

| [[File:EP265 Sneasel balloon.png|250px]]

| ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''

| The first one-off balloon Team Rocket has used. It is similar to the Meowth balloon in terms of design but features a Sneasel's head instead of Meowth. It was used when [[Jessie]] and [[James]] considered replacing {{MTR}} with a Sneasel. It was destroyed by {{MTR}}'s claws after Jessie threw him onto the balloon.

| [[File:AG112 Balloon.png|250px]]

| ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]''

| A simple circular balloon with a Poké Ball design, and a net launcher. It is essentially an upgrade to the Meowth balloon, as extra protection if the balloon was previously destroyed. It was eventually burst by [[James' Cacnea]]'s {{m|Needle Arm}} attack.

| ''[[AG140|Sitting Psyduck]]''

| Shaped like a Chimecho's head, and replaced the Meowth balloon after it blew up earlier in the episode. It was burst by {{AP|Grovyle}}'s {{m|Bullet Seed}}.

| {{p|Carnivine}} Balloon

| ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''

|Was used to attack Ash, Brock, and Dawn as they traveled to Alamos Town in their own hot air balloon. It was eventually blown away by a {{m|Gust}} attack from a group of {{p|Drifloon}} and {{p|Drifblim}}.

| {{p|Gliscor}}bot

| ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]''

|A Gliscor-themed balloon that double-functions as a mecha. It could extend its tail to grab Pokémon, its claws could open and launch like missiles to emulate {{m|X-Scissor}}, and its wings could spread open and perform an attack emulating {{m|Steel Wing}}. It was destroyed by [[Ash's Gliscor]]'s actual Steel Wing attack.

| [[Team Rocket|Rocket]] Balloon

| ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]''

| A generic {{wp|football}}-shaped purple balloon with the new Team Rocket logo on it and a gray basket, contained in a briefcase before use. It was destroyed by {{AP|Oshawott}}.

|- style="background:#FFF"

| [[File:Team Rocket Mecha BW142.png|250px]]

| ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''

| Combines all of the balloon attachments onto the Meowth balloon. It was quickly shot down by a group attack from Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, {{AP|Unfezant}}, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Pignite}}, {{AP|Snivy}}, {{AP|Scraggy}}, {{AP|Leavanny}}, {{AP|Palpitoad}}, {{AP|Boldore}}, and {{AP|Krookodile}}.

| [[File:Gyarados Submarine.png|250px]]

| {{p|Gyarados}} Submarine

| ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' (Japan)<br>''[[EP030|Sparks Fly For Magnemite]]'' (Internationally)

| It is equipped with a net launcher, extendable arms, and wheels. It was occasionally used throughout [[Kanto]].

| It has arms that can be extended, and legs that can also be extended on land. Its weapons include nets and extendable fists. In combat, traps are used to capture Pokémon.

It was used as Team Rocket's main mode of transportation through the [[Orange Islands]] and made infrequent appearances after that all the way until ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. It returned in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', and in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' in ''[[JN008|The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!]]'', where it was slightly redesigned.

| Used by Team Rocket to search for the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. Similarity to the Rocket Balloon, it is not designed after a Pokémon.

| [[File:Basculin Submarine.png|250px]]

| ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]''

| Based on a Blue-Striped Basculin, and was designed by [[Dr. Zager]]. It was used as Team Rocket's main mode of transportation during the [[Decolore Islands]] arc.

| ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]''

| Used to try and find treasure. It was sucked away by {{p|Dhelmise}}'s {{M|Whirlpool}}.

| Unnamed

| The first one-time mecha in the anime. It is based on a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. The mecha is controlled through a car underneath it and it has two rockets in the form of paws and can shoot out tranquilizer darts from its mouth. It was used to capture a Kangaskhan. Despite being set on fire by [[Ash's Charmander]] and Pikachu, it is otherwise unaffected and continues on until [[Tommy's parents]] hit the flaming mecha with their helicopter, causing it to explode in spectacular fashion.

| Used to tickle [[Kaiser]] by using a feather on his foot in order to tell Team Rocket where {{p|Dratini}} was. It appeared again (and for the very first time in the dub) in ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]'' to massage and tickle {{OBP|Daniel|DP160}}'s {{p|Snorlax}}, and to capture [[Ash's Pikachu]] and other Pokémon.

| A grasshopper-like mecha that has very good jumping abilities. It was used to try and stop the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] by stealing the flame of {{p|Moltres}} from Indigo Stadium. It is invincible to most attacks until it was destroyed by Moltres.

| The Golden Meowth Statue in [[Golden Island]] can be turned into a machine (with many gears inside) with mobile hands to remove intruders off Golden Island, and is operated by the many people of the island. It is shockproof, with {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} doing absolutely nothing to it. In one instance when [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], {{an|Misty}} and [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]] find themselves on the island, {{MTR}} commands the statue to remove them off the island and avoid blowing his cover. Later on, the statue's arms are seen holding to [[Jessie]] and [[James]] for similar reasons.

| Shoots a rocket out of its ear and releases a claw that can grab packages and Pokémon. The whiskers on the top of its head act as lightning rods, and its tail grounds absorb electricity. It also releases small drills from its fingertips which have the power to destroy rocks.

| Arbotank

| This mecha is themed after an [[Arbok (Pokémon)|Arbok]]. Although it had completely wiped away the money when {{TRT}} purchased it, it is loaded with features like extendable arms, a giant spring on the bottom, a drill that can go through rocks and boulders without any issue, alongside superfluous gadgets included adding to the price tag, such as fireworks and a {{p|Pidgey}} {{wp|cuckoo clock}}.

The powerful and massive nature of the mecha makes it one of the most powerful and strongest that the Trio have ever owned, however, they would never get to properly use it after {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and a {{p|Sentret}} fall in and meddle around with it, showing it's true power, enough to destroy an entire city and being strong against a majority of attacks used against it.

| [[File:Meowth Bubblegum Bot.png|150px]]

| [[File:The Super Diglett Mark 2.png|150px]]

| Used to steal Electricity in a town. The Mecha itself is operated using the electricity inside, and can absorb moves by using a Turbo-Kick Counter attack that has the same effect as {{m|Counter}}. It can also use Robo-Punches and Kicks.

 

It is first powered through a power supply, which is soon destroyed by [[Gary's Umbreon]]'s {{m|Tackle}}. It can also be powered using exercise-bikes to generate power, and if an Electric-type attack (like {{m|Thunderbolt}}) hits it without Counter activating.

 

The mecha is soon destroyed by [[Ash's Cyndaquil]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}, with [[Ash's Chikorita]]'s {{m|Vine Whip}} trapping the counter doors to allow the fire inside the Mecha to cause it to explode.

| [[File:Tentacruel Submarine.png|150px]]

| Used by [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] to lure [[Silver (Lugia)|Silver]]. It resembles a {{p|Lugia}}. It can open and launch a self-assembling cage.

| [[File:Robotic Politoed.png|150px]]

| [[File:Meowth Mining Machine.png|150px]]

| [[File:Robotic Crab.png|150px]]

| Mobile Building Bill Buster Model 2

| [[File:AG001 Mecha.png|150px]]

| A battery-shaped mecha. Used in an attempt to absorb all of {{AP|Pikachu}}'s electricity and shoot it back.

 

 

Once the Mecha's energy drains, Pikachu shocks the Mecha which soon explodes on Team Rocket.

| [[File:AG009 Mecha.png|150px]]

| [[File:AG010 Mecha.png|150px]]

| [[File:Robotic Wurmple.png|150px]]

| [[File:AG024 Mecha.png|150px]]

| [[File:AG025 Mecha.png|150px]]

| [[File:AG038 Mecha.png|150px]]

| Unnamed

| A {{p|Zapdos}}-shaped mecha with several saws and grabbers that were used to steal the Lighthouse's Light Stone, and kidnap {{p|Magnemite}} (which Team Rocket soon releases after noteing it to be useless) and [[Ash's Pikachu]].

 

The mecha is completely shockproof, with moves like {{m|Thunderbolt}} doing nothing to it. The Mecha's power supply gets deactivated by a stronger version of Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}} (Powered-up with [[Thatcher]]'s {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}'s {{m|Helping Hand}}) and is eventually destroyed by a double-{{m|Spark}} attack by Plusle and Minun.

| Hitmon Machine<br>Noodle Nabber

| Has chopsticks to grab Pokémon and a giant butterfly net to carry them. Destroyed by {{AP|Pikachu}}.

 

It reappears in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'' under a different name; the Noodle Nabber, where Pikachu immediately destroyed it as soon as it captured him.

| A giant inflatable {{p|Wobbuffet}} figure. It is protected from electric attacks. Was burst by {{TP|May|Eevee}} after it made a hole in it.

| <br>Mecha Mountain King

{{Epilang|color=AFA|bordercolor=FAA

}}

| A {{p|Slaking}} mecha that was disguised as a real giant Slaking, being used to steal and collect food. The robot's disguise was melted away by {{TP|May|Combusken}}'s {{m|Fire Spin}}, while the mecha itself was left vulnerable to {{m|Scratch}}es of wild Pokémon.

| Turbo Fearow Flock

| These {{p|Fearow}} robots were used by Team Rocket to steal a crown that was stuck on {{AP|Aipom}}. They are operated by a remote called a “Royal Remote” by {{MTR}}. However, they eventually all malfunctioned by [[Hank]]'s {{p|Nosepass}}’ {{m|Thunder Wave}}.

| What could be possibly the strongest mecha have ever used, this solar-powered, eco-friendly robot consists of an orange base and six extendable arms, each containing unique extendable fingers to capture Pokémon. The mecha can withstand any attack that hits it, including {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}, [[Dawn's Piplup]]'s {{m|Bubble Beam}}, {{AP|Aipom}}'s {{m|Swift}}, and {{AP|Starly}}'s {{m|Gust}}. According to [[James]], it can even make lunch. Eventually, when Team Rocket attempts to send Ash flying off the mecha when he rescues Pikachu, one of the arms accidentally hits the base - causing it to explode.

| Constructed through stolen factory parts, this tank-tracked mecha contains extendable legs and claws to capture Pokémon. It was used to capture a [[Dawn's Buneary|Buneary]] and eventually {{AP|Pikachu}}. The main base, which resembles a UFO, can de-detach from the tracked section through rockets. The containers are vulnerable to {{m|Iron Tail}}, while the base part was destroyed after crashing to the ground after its rocket attachments were destroyed by {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

| A Biodegradable wooden mecha that can be disguised as a house and can be transformed into a robot at will. It has nets on its hands to capture Pokémon and due to being made out of wood, is protected against electricity. It soon breaks apart after falling through a pitfall trap.

| A tank-tracked mecha consisting of a yellow base, treads, red claws to trap Pokémon and rocket-shaped net launchers. It was used to steal a fossilization machine as well as various fossil Pokémon. A majority of the mecha was damaged by an angry {{p|Aerodactyl}}, while [[Roark's Rampardos]]'s {{m|Zen Headbutt}} destroyed the rest of the mecha after evolving as such.

| [[File:Team Rocket transformer.png|150px]]

| Mechabot

| ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]''

| A giant mechabot that with the press of a button, can transform from the Evolution Machine that Team Rocket purchased from the [[Magikarp Salesman]]. Nothing is known about its abilities or features, as the Mechabot soon implodes into dust after it transforms. According to the user's manual of the machine, it can only achieve the Mechabot transformation if it successfully evolves a Pokémon, which Team Rocket failed to do to begin with.

| Another robot used to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}, this tank-tracked mecha made out of durable parts is used as transportation and can launch extendable arms. Its durability can protect it from most attacks, with even multiple hits from {{m|Focus Punch}} being able to eventually penetrate it. It was destroyed by {{p|Raichu|Sugar}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

 

Has a cameo in ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]''

| Used to steal Berries, this mecha has large wheels, extendable arms, vacuums, and a large basket to contain the stolen loot, as well as being able to shoot out giant flower pots that trap the opponent. The wheels and the flower pot projectiles were destroyed by {{p|Roserade}}'s {{m|Petal Dance}}, the base was damaged by {{OP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s {{m|Bubble Beam}} and {{OP|Brock|Croagunk}}'s {{m|Poison Sting}}, the basket was broken by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Iron Tail}}, while the rest of the mecha was destroyed by another Petal Dance by Roserade.

| Bada Bing Supreme Soaker Number Six

| Normally shouts the words "Bada boom, bada boom, bada bing". It can also shoot water from its hands and spill hot water from the tub.

| Unnamed

| A {{p|Rhyhorn}} Mecha built by [[Dr. Namba]] for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] to capture a {{p|Hippowdon}}. The head can open and fire out a mechanical arm to capture Pokémon. It can also use a move called "Horn Rocket" where it can stab the opponent, and fire its tail off like a rocket. It is protected against Electricity.

 

It was burned up by Hippowdon's {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

| Unnamed

| A {{p|Slowbro}} Mecha that was built and used by {{TRT}} to battle against the duo's Rhyhorn Mecha. It can open its mouth and hit the foe with its arms, and it can also use its own special move called "Tail Attack" where it can stab the foe with its tail, or it can fire it off like a rocket. It was, however, destroyed by the latter mecha's "Horn Rocket" move.

| Unnamed

| This {{p|Croagunk}} Robot was used to steal the Croagunk Crown, alongside the Croagunk of Pastoria City. It can use an extendable tongue and arms to capture Pokémon, with it's chest serving as a big container for caught Pokémon. It was damaged by a {{m|Vacuum Wave}} by [[Nurse Joy]]'s Croagunk, Crissy, and destroyed by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

| This Mecha resembles a large fairy of sorts. It has a retractable visor to cover the exposed cockpit, and alongside hovering, it can launch five extendable arms from each shoulder. It was quickly taken down by a Twin {{m|Bounce}} attack from Buneary and Lopunny.

| It transforms from Team Rocket's Getaway Car. Its mouth can be used for storage and its arms and eyes can fire lasers. The arms can protect it against moves like {{m|Whirlpool}}, but the mecha has absolutely no protection against {{t|Electric}} attacks (Which {{MTR}} intentionally excluded anti-electrical elements), as it soon fails and gets destroyed by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

| This mecha rolls around a ball of [[Pokémon food]] (like a {{wp|dung beetle}}) that can attract {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} such as {{p|Lickilicky}}. It can also fly and pick up rocks and kick them. It can even launch a rocket that fires out a rope.

|The only thing this mecha can do is jump great distances into the air. It was destroyed quickly by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} before it could do anything. It has a cameo in ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]''.

| This mecha is a cross between Piplup's evolutionary forms and is as big as a building with many tiny rooms and vents. It was used to capture [[Dawn's Piplup]], [[Kenny's Prinplup]] and [[Barry's Empoleon]]. Tank Tracks can appear on the bottom for hasty getaways, and its arms can be extended to make Pokémon dizzy. It is protected from {{m|Thunderbolt}}, with the bolt instead heading into the underarm into a mechanical room and zapping any captured friends inside. It was soon damaged and destroyed by [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]]'s {{m|Whirlpool}}.

| {{p|Magcargo}} Cannon

| This Magcargo Mecha has the ability for it's head and body to become hot like lava. it's main ability is to use a move similar to {{m|Zap Cannon}}, however, it soon causes the battery to almost drain immediately. This leads to the mecha being destroyed quickly by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

| A mecha-doll based on [[Giovanni (anime)|Giovanni]] that pats its owner and plays music. It was burnt completely by a naughty {{p|Togepi}}.

| [[File:DP153 Treasure Robot.png|150px]]

| {{p|Blastoise|Blasto}}-Bot II

| Based on a {{p|Blastoise}}, this mecha was completely eaten by {{AP|Gible}} before it could do anything.

| This mecha was made from recycled parts from the {{p|Blastoise|Blasto}}-Bot II, it can leap great distances, and can show its tongue. It has an iron fist to grab its foe, and a regular hand as well. Damaged by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, and soon self-destructed itself due to it being recycled out of previous parts.

| An upgrade of the {{TRT}} Balloon. It can capture enemies in glass capsules and features large claw-arms to trap Pokémon into a large cage at the bottom of the basket. However, {{AP|Monferno}}'s {{a|Blaze}} outrage foils this plan by effortlessly destroying the arms and the mecha using powerful {{type|Fire}} and {{m|Mach Punch}} attacks and sending {{TRT}} blasting off, but putting the Pokémon in severe danger. [[Paul's Electabuzz]]'s {{m|Protect}} also proves to be a hassle until Monferno evolved into {{AP|Infernape}} and saves Pikachu, Piplup and Empoleon in the process by destroying the rest of the mecha.

| A {{p|Caterpie}} mecha that was used to capture [[Marley]] and a {{P|Shaymin}}. It can dig underground, crawl on the floor and has a gun in its mouth to fire a form of sticky liquid. It is strong against {{m|Energy Ball}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Rock Climb}}, and {{m|Whirlpool}}. When it is almost destroyed, a button inside the mecha can reveal a Butterfree mecha (seen below).

| A {{p|Butterfree}} mecha that can rise out of the Caterpie mecha seen above. The pair of antennae on the Butterfree can use a Robo-Hyper-{{m|Solar Beam}}, or fans inside can use a Robo-Hyper-{{m|Gust}} to strike its victims, and can fly in the air to dodge attacks like {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Bubble Beam}}. The mecha was split in half and destroyed by Shaymin's {{m|Air Slash}}.

| The third Team Rocket {{p|Diglett}} mecha, which is operated through a controller, which {{MTR}} uses. Used to capture a {{p|Heatran}}. The Mecha can dig underground using it's arms, and can also fire three nets using its body, which were all burned by Heatran's {{m|Eruption}}. It can also swap out it's drilling arms for arms to allow the mecha to walk on walls, and use them as a shield to block moves. However, when Meowth drops the remote after being electrocuted by {{AP|Pikachu}} and it melts in the volcano's lava, the mecha starts to malfunction and sends out all its arms at once. However, Heatran fully destroys the mecha using {{m|Eruption}}.

| A missile-like balloon attachment that is shaped like a {{p|Staraptor}}. It was used to defeat [[Ash's Staraptor]].

| A missile-like balloon attachment that is shaped like a {{p|Gliscor}}. It was used to try to defeat [[Bertha]]'s Gliscor, but the latter's {{m|Guillotine}} easily broke it into pieces and destroyed the balloon all at once.

| Powering-up Parts (Seviper)

| Powering-up Parts (Carnivine)

| This mecha consists of a purple-colored base with a visor-shaped window for the trio to see out of, alongside six large arms called "Magic Mits" which each each hold different weapons; a net, a fly swatter, a plunger, scissors, tongs, and an empty hand to capture a Pokémon. It's feet can allow it to hover in the air. It was used by the trio in an attempt to capture [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] shortly before the beginning of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. It is powerful and almost invincible, as it could easily withstand electric attacks like {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}, water attacks like {{AP|Totodile}}'s {{m|Water Gun}}, {{AP|Corphish}}'s {{m|Bubble Beam}} and [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} despite it not being waterproof, and fire attacks like Cyndaquill's {{m|Flamethrower}}. The arms can be chopped off with a move like {{AP|Bayleef}}'s {{m|Razor Leaf}}, but a button inside the mecha can switch this out with arms that hold a bigger and more dangerous set of weapons consisting of a drill, a chainsaw, a paint scraper, a paper fan, a drafting triangle, and a mallet. When the trio was about to finally capture Cyndaquil, it evolved into {{AP|Quilava}} and used its newly-learned move {{m|Eruption}} to completely destroy the mecha.

| Piloted by {{MTR}}, this robot has the ability to launch punches and absorb {{t|electric}} attacks, which it can also send back at the attacker. It is powered by an external battery, but it is also able to switch to an internal one.

 

Its armor protects it from most attacks, but in the end, it was destroyed by [[Meyer|Blaziken Mask]]'s {{me|Blaziken}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

| Unnamed

| A Meowth mecha with a ninja theme.

 

Its techniques include launching punches, shooting nets from the palms of its hands and firing projectiles themed after {{MTR}}'s charm from its wrists ("Coin Shuriken"), as well as using the charm on its head to create a bright flash of light.

 

It was immobilized by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}} before being destroyed by a combined {{m|Water Pulse}} from [[Ash's Froakie]] and [[Sanpei's Frogadier]].

| A mecha {{p|Pelipper}} that Meowth used in the Pokémon Sky Relay. It can destroy rocks. The mecha's disguise was broken by {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and the remains were broken apart once Meowth accidentally crashed into Jessie and James, sending them blasting off in spectacular fashion.

| An upgraded version of the Mega-Mega Meowth Machine. Its mouth can fire nets to capture Pokémon. Damaged by {{me|Audino}}, destroyed by  [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

| This mecha which resembles a {{p|Charizard}} of sorts was used to capture a {{p|Pyroar}}. It contains vacuums that can suck Pokémon and trap them in a glass cage but can also send out moves through it as well. It was destroyed by {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Pyroar}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} as well as {{AP|Pikachu}}'s usual {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

| Unnamed

| A {{p|Ferrothorn}} Mecha that was used to catch {{p|Zapdos}}. Its only known ability is to trap Pokémon using a force field. It was quickly shot down by [[Ash's Noivern|Noivern]]'s {{m|Boomburst}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

| Was used to capture a real {{p|Carbink}}. It has six large drills that can throw around anything that stands in its way, and can also capture Pokémon, and is protected against electricity. Its drills were chopped off by the power of other Carbink and water-type Pokémon using {{m|Water Gun}}, while the rest of the mecha was destroyed by [[Ash's Goodra|Goodra]]'s {{m|Ice Beam}} and the Carbink's {{m|Power Gem}}.

| [[File:Team Rocket Mecha XY124.png|150px]]

| A Meowth-shaped mecha used at the [[Gadget Festival]]. It is based on a real-life Rube Goldberg machine with the real Meowth controlling it from the inside. According to [[James]], they spent three whole days to even construct it. It was damaged by [[Serena's Pancham|Pancham]]'s {{m|Dark Pulse}} (although unintentionally) and [[Clemont's Chespin|Chespin]]'s {{m|Pin Missile}}, and destroyed by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

| This Meowth mecha had the ability to transform. Its only purpose was to be used for the second act of the Pokémon School Play, where it battled [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] in a mechanized suit.

| Unnamed

| A simple {{p|Bewear}} robot that Team Rocket planned to send to [[Matori]] at the {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}.

 

Its abilities are unknown and it only appears at the ending segment of the episode, after the [[Poké Problem]].

| A life-sized {{p|Pikachu}} robot that has the same appearance, fur texture, and body temperature of {{AP|Pikachu}}. Unfortunately, {{MTR}} could not replicate its cry; as a result, it says ''Hikachu'' (Japanese: '''火カチュウ'''<!--Check Japanese closed captions--> ''Hikachu'') instead of Pikachu, prompting the name. Team Rocket was able to plant the Practically Pikachu next to the real Pikachu, only to be confused when the real and fake Pikachu began playing together. The trio eventually stole back their own fake Pikachu, believing it to be real, only discovering what they had done blasted off with it by accident by [[Ash's Lucario]] and [[Goh's Cinderace]], who fell for the decoy as well.
