The trio reappeared in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', where they tried to capture a {{an|Meloetta}} for a future job: Operation

Once there, Giovanni used Meloetta's song to summon the [[Reveal Glass]] and the Forces of Nature. During the battle, Giovanni possessed by the Reveal Glass, and Meowth, Jessie, and James jumped in and removed him from its influence. He then ordered a full retreat from the Unova region, with the trio joining him.

James appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. He first appeared in disguise with [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} in a Pokémon Center, being wanted for stealing Pokémon. When a Trainer who had just battled an {{p|Entei}} hurried inside the Pokémon Center, Team Rocket eavesdropped on the conversation and decided to hunt for Entei themselves. While looking for Entei in the forest, they were blasted off by a raging {{p|Onix}}.

==In the manga==

[[File:James EToP.png|thumb|180px|James in the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga]]

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===

James debuts in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. He, Jessie and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try to find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, he and Jessie attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, he uses a {{TP|James|Koffing}} in battle.

James's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. He and Jessie attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, James's {{p|Koffing}} has evolved into {{TP|James|Weezing}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

Following this, James and Jessie begin more regularly appearing in the manga, following Ash to the [[Pokémon League]] championship at [[Indigo Plateau]] and cheering him on at the [[Orange League]]. James, along with Jessie, seems to maintain a friendship or at least acquaintance with Ash, as he has the [[Team Rocket trio]] deliver a letter to his mother as they are passing [[Pallet Town]] in ''[[ET20|Epilogue: Wild Type]]''.

===Movie adaptations===

As James has appeared in every movie to date, he has appeared in the manga adaptations of them.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===

James debuted in ''[[JNM04|Flash of the Titans!]]''. In the manga, the role of Team Rocket Trio is quite reduced compared to the anime, so their participation ends up being removed or much smaller than the episodes on which each chapter is based.
