Since making their debut in the [[EP002|second episode of the anime]], they have since appeared in every single episode up until the {{series|Best Wishes}}, where they appeared less frequently. As such, they are the most prominent representation of Team Rocket as a whole in the anime.

In most of their appearances, they attempt to capture {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}}, or any other Pokémon to give to their boss, {{an|Giovanni}}. However, they almost always get defeated and are blasted off with their iconic catchphrase "We're blasting off again!". Typically right after making a capture, they will recite their {{motto}}, though on some occasions they're unable to finish. This has been parodied by protagonists and even [[Cassidy|other]] Team Rocket [[Butch|members]]. It was a running gag in the {{series|Original}} to send Team Rocket blasting off with a {{p|Voltorb}}.

Even though they usually only cause trouble for the main characters, they have sometimes helped them, mostly when dealing with a common enemy, as shown in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and later against [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]. They also played a key part in the fight against [[Team Galactic]], teaming up with [[Looker]]. They occasionally put their differences aside for personal reasons, only to later return to their thieving ways. One of the more common moments of truce is during [[Pokémon Contest]]s, which Jessie had a fondness for participating in; however, Ash and his friends are unaware that it is her.
