Blasting off usually happens only one time per episode, but there have been many occasions in which it has happened multiple times, especially in ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', in which they are shown blasting off four times on screen, and heard to blast off many more times offscreen. Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket. In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', James blasted off by himself. Butch and Cassidy have also "blasted off"; however, James noted once that he, Jessie and Meowth had copyrighted it in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path]]''.

In ''[[EP093|Naval Maneuvers]]'', when the trio blasts off a second time, they shout "We're blasting off again... ''again!''". Similarly, in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when they once again blast off a second time, the trio cries out out "We're blasting off twice, but it ain't so nice!" Another occurrence when they blasted off more than once was in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'', but this could be because the episode focused on Team Rocket.

After ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Team Rocket initially didn't blast off during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'' and ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'', they used smoke bombs and disappeared. In ''[[BW005|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]'' they tried to escape using their capsule, but after it gets destroyed by [[Ash's Pikachu]], they escaped using gliders. From ''[[BW026|Scare at the Litwick Mansion!]]'' onwards, they usually used jet packs in order to escape. For this reason, those blastoffs weren't against their will nor involved pain, so they did not cry out their famous quote. Also, there was no twinkle visible when the jet packs were used, except for ''Scare at the Litwick Mansion!'' and ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Starting from ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Team Rocket has blasted off like before, although they didn't say the catchphrase until ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]''. They still occasionally used their jet packs in some episodes.
