[[Team Skull]] is similar to the Kanto Team Rocket, in that they steal Pokémon for profit. However, they operate on a much more local scale than Team Rocket, and unlike Team Rocket's mafia style operation, they are more similar to street gangs. They require assistance from the [[Aether Foundation]] in order to stay functional, and their leader [[Guzma]] responds directly to [[Lusamine]]. Team Skull eventually disbands after Guzma is rescued and reforms. | [[Team Skull]] is similar to the Kanto Team Rocket, in that they steal Pokémon for profit.
