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 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.

The Meowth Balloon has often been Team Rocket's main mode of [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|transportation]], first used in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''. It can be given many attachments including rockets, vacuums, nets, fists and cages. The balloon has been changed on certain occasions as well. It was changed to other Pokémon, such as {{p|Wobbuffet}} or {{p|Gliscor}}, and even items, as in a [[Poké Ball]]. It appeared regularly until the {{series|Best Wishes}}. In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew]]'' they used new balloon with new Team Rocket logo on it, basket was painted gray. The balloon was extended from their case, [[Ash's Oshawott]] destroyed it and it wasn't repaired. They later start to use Meowth design again in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', where it is redesigned; the new design incorporates a blue basket with the new Team Rocket logo and a pair of engines on it, plus a new Meowth portion with no arm and a larger engine on its back. In the {{series|XY}}, the Meowth head now has two arms on the balloon and has propeller engines on the basket. In addition, it was redesigned to have its mouth open on its portion unlike the previous generations. It was redesigned again in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, where the basket is now colored green with a yellow stripe and new red Team Rocket logo, it no longer has propeller engines, but it still retains the Meowth head design from the ''XY'' series. It was almost unused by trio and not appears anymore.

In [[BW088|The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!]] they used new submarine. It wasn't designed after Pokémon.

After a long absence the Magikarp submarine reappeared in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', where it was slightly redesigned.

In the [[Alola]] region, Team Rocket now uses a {{p|Bruxish}} submarine, which debuted in ''[[SM040|Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!]]''.
