The Team Rocket trio first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]'', in which they took over the {{ci|Viridian}} [[Pokémon Center]]. After their first defeat at the hands of {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}} convinced them of his extraordinary power, the trio made their main goal to capture Pikachu.

The trio intervened in [[Pokémon poacher]] [[Rico]]'s plan to capture and sell a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Koffing}} in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]''. Jessie and James released {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}} and sent them off into [[Petalburg Forest]] to protect the Ekans and Koffing.
 
While suffering from amnesia, [[Ash's Pikachu]] temporarily joined the trio in ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]''.


In ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'', they were selling snacks to League spectators for the [[Ever Grande Conference]].

===={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}====
After being blasted off once again, the trio exchanged insults and decided to go their separate ways in ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]''. Jessie and James eventually found themselves at the site of [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s latest scheme, a one-day-only Pokémon Tournament in [[Sable City]]. Cassidy roped [[James]] into forming a trio with her and Butch, but Jessie soon paired up with Butch. {{MTR}} proved to be far more attached to Jessie and James, and used a biscuit to reflect on the group's close bond even in tough times. The trio reunited and returned to goal of capturing Ash's Pikachu.

====={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
The trio re-encountered [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]''. The two Team Rocket groups quickly began to battle with their robots, and this eventually erupted into a [[Pokémon battle]]. The intense confrontation was interrupted after a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Hippopotas}} whipped up a {{m|Sandstorm}} and sent both groups blasting off. The two groups subsequently vowed revenge the next time they met.
 
In ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', {{an|Giovanni}} did not even remember who they were.

Team Rocket attended the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]], with [[Jessie]] [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as Jessilinda]], while [[James]] and {{MTR}} posed as janitors from ''[[DP088|Camping it Up!]]'' to ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.


In ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks!]]'', Team Rocket befriended [[Looker]] after sharing boxed lunches with him, coming to call him "Boxed-Lunch Guy" or "Mr. Lunchbox". Later in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, after discovering that Looker was a member of the [[International Police]], they assisted him in taking down [[Team Galactic]].

===={{series|Best Wishes}}====
The trio set up their own [[Sinnoh Pokémon Hustle]] course in a bid to steal competitors' Pokémon and scout for new [[Team Rocket]] members in ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]''.
 
In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', Team Rocket had built a secret base with the money they earned during the [[Twinleaf Festival]]. While the trio managed to lure {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} onto their base, which was actually a rocket, an evil {{p|Togepi}} also wandered in and ruined Team Rocket's plans. The rocket eventually crash-landed, leaving only debris.
 
In ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', Team Rocket managed to steal [[Sunyshore Tower]] as Ash and [[Volkner]] prepared to have their [[Gym]] battle. Though Ash and his newly [[Evolution|evolved]] {{AP|Torterra}} defeated Team Rocket, the Gym and Tower were significantly damaged in the process, and Ash's Gym battle was postponed.

At [[Matori|his secretary]]'s recommendation, Giovanni promoted them as part of his plans in the [[Unova]] region. After their promotion, they changed from their original white uniforms to black uniforms. In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, they acted in a more serious manner, focusing more on completing specific assignments, often using gadgets such as jetpacks to retreat instead of blasting off.

After helping defeat Team Plasma in ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'', the trio returned completely to their previous role as comic relief, retaining only their upgraded technology and slight competence.

Later, in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', the trio arrived in the [[Alola]] region to obtain some rare Alolan Pokémon for Giovanni, as well as Ash's Pikachu, which they were surprised to find on [[Melemele Island]]. They allied with a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} which hated Pikachu, but at the end of the episode, a wild {{an|Bewear}} kidnapped Jessie and James. In ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', the Bewear looked after the trio, giving them food and shelter at its den.

Line 65: Line 80:
One of Team Rocket's goals in Alola has been to harness the power of [[Z-Move]]s for themselves. In ''[[SM025|A Team-on-Team Tussle!]]'', they obtained a [[Darkinium Z]], which some {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s also tried to obtain from a nest of {{alo|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}}, led by a {{pkmn2|Totem}} Raticate. The same [[Z-Crystal]] reappeared in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', where Jessie and James believed that they could use it with the Alolan {{p|Meowth}} they had just met. However, they were dismayed upon being informed that they would also need a [[Z-Ring]] to do so.

In ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', at the advice of Giovanni, they traveled to [[Ula'ula Island]] to get a Z-Ring from [[Nanu]]. There, their Darkinium Z was stolen by the "Greedy Rapooh", a {{p|Gengar}} they had accidentally unsealed. After taking back their Z-Crystal, Nanu gave them a Z-Power Ring so [[James's Mareanie]] could use {{m|Black Hole Eclipse}}, rescuing [[Acerola]] in the process. The trio was allowed to keep the ring as a token of appreciation, and Jessie received a [[Mimikium Z]] for her Mimikyu from Acerola's Mimikyu, nicknamed Mimikins.

Since making their debut in the [[EP002|second episode of the anime]], they appeared in almost every single episode until the {{series|Best Wishes}}, in which they appeared less frequently. As such, they are the most prominent representation of [[Team Rocket]] as a whole in the anime. Prior to ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', the [[EP001|very first episode]] was the only single regular episode (excluding the clip show [[AG120]]) in which Team Rocket trio was completely absent.

Even though they usually only cause trouble for the main characters, they have sometimes helped them. When they have a common enemy, they will often ally with Ash and his friends, 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 under aliases.

On several occasions, Jessie, James and Meowth have shown that they are not all evil and even have affection for Ash and his friends. The trio heroically sacrificed themselves to what they thought was certain death in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' in order to allow Ash's escape on Lugia. They also saved him from a fall in the next movie, ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. Their justification was that in the case of the world being destroyed or Ash's death, they would be [[Breaking the fourth wall|out of show business]], but it is implied that this is just bluster to cover the fact that they are not bad people. In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]'', Team Rocket kept [[Ash's Charizard]] awake as it lay in the lake, and then built a huge mecha and attacked the [[Charicific Valley]] for the sole purpose of allowing Charizard to defeat them and gain acceptance in the valley.

In ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', when [[Faba]] asked them to help him drain memories from {{an|Lillie}}, they blatantly refused, citing their belief that all memories, good or bad, should be preserved at any cost.

The Team Rocket trio appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. They first appeared in disguise in a Pokémon Center, and were wanted for stealing Pokémon. When a Pokémon Trainer who had just battled an {{p|Entei}} hurried inside the 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}}.

They appeared once more in the film's ending credits, following Ash and {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}} in their Meowth Balloon. During that time, Wobbuffet was revealed to have somehow been added to their team.

Team Rocket reappeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''.
[[File:Team Rocket trio M21.png|thumb|250px|The trio in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'']]
In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', the trio watched Ash's {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Townes, Hoyt, and Miles|Hoyt]]. They were impressed by Pikachu's performance, but Jessie then became inspired by the boys' lemonade stand and decided that she wanted to run her own juice stall. Team Rocket soon sets up a [[Lum Berry]] Juice store to make money during the [[Wind Festival]].
 
Later, the trio infiltrated the Research Pavilion at night, but were forced to flee after Wobbuffet burst out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} unannounced. Team Rocket visited the lab again, and while they were ambushed by [[Harriet]], they managed to steal [[Toren]]'s {{a|Effect Spore}} solution. Ash chased after them, but Wobbuffet's {{m|Mirror Coat}} allowed them to escape. At night, the trio sat down to examine their stolen loot when they realized they dropped it somewhere.
 
The following day, the Effect Spore solution was revealed to have cracked open and released a toxic gas that caused a fire, forcing the evacuation of [[Fula City]]. Team Rocket, [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised in their Berry stall outfits]], sought refuge in the Research Pavilion. After Toren's {{a|Natural Cure}} elixir was lost, he noticed the trio's large supply of Lum Berries and went on to make a substitute remedy, which later cleared the air of the Effect Spore.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Jessie and James appear and are involved in Team Rocket's four major schemes ([[Mt. Moon]], [[Rocket Hideout]], [[Pokémon Tower]], and [[Silph Co.]]), and typically appear before the player battles [[Giovanni]]. They also replace the three Team Rocket members in the [[Pokémon Tower]] that hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage as well as two other {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s: one close to the exit of [[Mt. Moon]] and the other one near the entrance to the President's room at [[Silph Co.]] Curiously, they are never referred to by their individual names and share their Trainer class with all other Team Rocket Grunts.

They first attack the {{player}} in Mt. Moon, while trying to take one of the rare [[Fossil]]s uncovered there. Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon. Afterwards, they hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]], attacking the player on the seventh floor. Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In addition, {{MTR}} cannot talk, and he resides in a [[Poké Ball]] instead of traveling around with Jessie and James. In addition, they also receive their own encounter music, a track not heard in Red and Blue.

The trio returns again in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], [[remake]]s of Yellow. Unlike Yellow, Meowth follows them outside of a Poké Ball like in the anime, but like Yellow, he is unable to speak. The player engages them in a [[Double Battle]]. They are now referred to by name and play a more significant role in the story than they did in Yellow.

They are now referred to by name and play a more significant role in the story than they did in Yellow.
 
They first appear in [[Viridian City]], replacing the old man as the roadblock to prevent the player from progressing before delivering Oak's parcel. They later properly introduce themselves in Mt. Moon, just as they did in Yellow, and have a Double Battle with the player. They are next encountered in Lavender Town, where they are implied to have killed Cubone's mother. The player then witnesses them kidnapping the orphan Cubone and taking it back to Celadon City. The player then encounters them in the Game Corner, where they accidentally mention the poster that conceals the switch to access the Team Rocket Hideout. The player later battles them in the hideout, just as they did in Yellow. After returning to Lavender Town and rescuing Mr. Fuji, the player has to battle them again like they did in Yellow.
 
The trio makes their next appearance outside of Fuchsia City, expressing their frustration with the slight complexity of the [[GO Park]]. They then give the player the safari warden's false teeth before leaving. The player next encounters them in Saffron City, where a Rocket Grunt tries to keep them out of Silph Co., causing them to force their way in. The player must later battle them inside the Silph Co. like in Yellow.
 
They make one more appearance on Route 17 after the player enters the Hall of Fame. They lament the disappearance of Giovanni, then challenge the player to a battle after noticing them. After the player wins, the trio will ask if they would like to join Team Rocket. Regardless of what the player responds, they will give the player the "Blast-off set" of clothing, which differs slightly depending on the player's gender to resemble either Jessie's uniform and hair or James's. After this, the trio bids farewell to the player and leaves.

:JESSIE: ''"What do you want? You can't pass through here right now! We're on guard duty! It's very important!"''
;[[Mt. Moon]]
*Upon entering
:JESSIE: ''"Looks like there’s nothing here..."''
:JAMES: ''"Then let’s just search farther in!"''
:JESSIE: ''"You! You were eavesdropping on us just now, weren’t you!"''
:JAMES: ''"Meowth! You were supposed to be keeping watch!"''
:MEOWTH: ''"Mrawr!"''
:JESSIE: ''"We know there’re rare Fossils buried around here somewhere! If you’ve got any, you’d better hand them over to us, twerp!"''

*If spoken to
:JESSIE: ''"Quit goofing around and go already!"''
:JAMES: ''"You can do it, Meowth!"''
:MEOWTH: ''"Mrowr!"''
*Before battle
:???: ''"Stop right there!"''
:JESSIE: ''"Hands off! That Fossil belongs to us!"''
:JAMES: ''"Rrrggghhh! How did you even get here ahead of us?!"''
:JESSIE: ''"We're Team Rocket! I'm Jessie!"''
:JAMES: ''"And I'm James!"''
:JESSIE: ''"And the two of us are going to take that Fossil back!"''
*If the player only has one Pokémon
:JESSIE: ''"Hey, twerp, you can’t battle the both of us with just one Pokémon! You’d better go get another and come back to take us on!"''
*Being defeated
:JESSIE: ''"I can't believe it!"''
:JAMES: ''"A twerp beat us?"''
*After being defeated
:JESSIE & JAMES: ''"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off!"''
;[[Lavender Town]]
*Before stealing Cubone
:JESSIE: ''"We came all the way to Lavender Town on the boss's orders, but... Where in the world is this old man [[Mr. Fuji|Fuji]] supposed to be?"''
:JAMES: ''"The only place left is that spooky old Pokémon Tower, right?"''
:JESSIE: ''"That's right... {{color|f00|We couldn't get to the top}} because of that {{color2|f00|Ghost (literal)|strange ghost}} getting in the way."''
:JAMES: ''"Well, we couldn't find that old man, but at least we found this Cubone! Let's get it back to our hideout. At least we'll have something to show for our trouble."''
:JESSIE: ''"Right! Let's head to the {{color2|f00|Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner}} in {{color2|f00|Celadon City}}!"''
:JESSIE: ''"Aww, does the wittle Cubone want its mommy? Your mommy's in Celadon City. Come with us. We'll take you there."''
:JESSIE & JAMES: ''"Now that that's decided, I think we'd better blast off!"''
;[[Celadon Game Corner]]
*Using the slot machines
:JESSIE: ''"There! Come on! Almost got it... Aaah, so close!"''
:JAMES: ''"C'mon, Jessie, why don't we head to the hideout now?"''
:JESSIE: ''"Oh come on, we've already handed over the {{color2|f00|Cubone (Pokémon)|Cubone}} to another Team Rocket member. What's the harm in taking a little break? How were we supposed to open the {{color|f00|hidden entrance to the hideout}}, anyway?"''
:JAMES: ''"We just need to check the {{color|f00|poster}} with a {{color|f00|vehicle on it}}, remember? It's a poster with a {{color|f00|vehicle}} that's the best way to represent us!"''
*If talked to
:JESSIE: ''"What do you mean? What kind of vehicle is the best way to represent us?"''
:JAMES: ''"You know, those things that {{color|f00|blast off into space}}?"''
:MEOWTH: ''"Mrowr."''
;[[Team Rocket Hideout]]
*When retrieving the [[Lift Key]]
:JESSIE: ''"Did you hear something just now?"''
:JAMES: ''"I did! There was definitely a noise! Could it be...an intruder?!"''
:MEOWTH: ''"Grrrrrr!"''
:JAMES: ''"...Never mind. It must’ve just been Meowth's hungry tummy."''
:JESSIE: ''"Don't get me all worried over nothing!"''
*If further listened to conversation
:JESSIE: ''"The boss's Persian is so elegant..."''
:JAMES: ''"And that Fake Out move it uses! It always makes an opponent flinch in battle! It’s strong AND cool..."''
:JESSIE: ''"Oh, did I tell you the news? My Ekans! It evolved!"''
:JAMES: ''"Oh! Congratulations, Jessie! You know, my Koffing evolved into Weezing, too!"''
:JESSIE: ''"You know that Admin named Archer? He uses this Golbat, and it flapped past me in the hall the other day... Oooh, it gave me the creeps!"''
:JAMES: ''"Archer has a Weezing, too, doesn’t he? I wouldn't have thought that he and I would have the same tastes..."''
:JESSIE: ''"Guard duty sure is dull, isn’t it...?"''
:JAMES: ''"Sure is dull, yeah..."''
*Before battle
:JESSIE: ''"You... You're that twerp from Mt. Moon! Just how long are you gonna follow us around? I know I'm beautiful, but what do you want?"
::'''To Rescue Cubone:''' ''"What?! That cubone? Ha! We already gave the poor thing to the boss!"''
::'''To join Team Rocket:''' ''"What? Really?! You certainly do show potential. Though you're not nearly as beautiful as me... Wait a minute-you're trying to trick me!"''
:JESSIE: ''"It doesn't matter! There's no way we're letting you through to see the boss!"''
:JAMES: ''"It's payback time for those fossils from Mt. Moon, you brat!"''
*If the player only has one Pokémon
:JESSIE: ''"Hey, twerp, you can’t battle the both of us with just one Pokémon! You’d better go get another and come back to take us on!"''
*Being defeated
:JESSIE: ''"Such a dreadful twerp!"''
:JAMES: ''"But I was so confident this time!"''
*After being defeated
:JESSIE: ''"Hmph! How infuriating! Don't let it go to your head just because your Pokémon were a teeny tiny bit stronger!"''
:JAMES: ''"Exactly! And even if you did defeat us in battle, we're still bigger and stronger than you! We'll just use brute force to-"''
:JAMES: ''"Eeek!"''
:JESSIE & JAMES: ''"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"''
;[[Pokémon Tower]]
:JESSIE: ''"Stop right there! We'll be going first!"''
:JAMES: ''"With that specter out of the way, we can finally get to the top!"''
:JESSIE: ''"You're the old geezer they call Mr. Fuji, right? You're going to be repeating your Pokémon research for the glory of Team Rocket!"''
:JAMES: ''"Ignore us all you like-we're used to it! We won't take no for an answer. You'll help the boss, whether you want to or not!"''
*Before battle
:JESSIE: ''"Gramps here thinks he can resist, so we're setting him straight!"''
:JAMES: ''"You'd better disappear, twerp, or be prepared to fight!"''
*If the player only has one Pokémon
:JESSIE: ''"Hey, twerp, you can’t battle the both of us with just one Pokémon! You’d better go get another and come back to take us on!"''
*Being defeated
:JESSIE: ''"What do you want?"''

*After being defeated
:JESSIE: ''"Ugh! Seriously? Again?"''
:JAMES: ''"Looks like Operation Stealthily Kidnap Fuji is a bust, then..."''
:''"Don't you think I know that? It'll be fine—we just have to help out with the {{color|f00|take-over of}} {{color2|f00|Silph Co.}} in {{color2|f00|Saffron City}}."''
:JESSIE & JAMES: ''"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"''
;{{rt|19|Kanto}}
:JESSIE: ''"We'd heard there were loads of rare Pokémon in that GO park place, so we came to check it out for ourselves..."''
:JAMES: ''"But it was so complicated. App this and connectivity that... It was so creepy, we had to get out of there."''
:MEOWTH: ''"Mrowr..."''
:JESSIE: ''"Why can't I just trip over a get-rich-quick scheme already?"''
:JESSIE: ''"Hm? Feels like I just kicked something really hard."''
:JESSIE: ''"Could it be some kind of treasure? At last, our big score! Let's see what it is!"''
:JESSIE & JAMES: ''"Heave-ho!"''
:JESSIE: ''"Wow! Just look at that shine! This must be some amazing treasure! ...As if! Yuck! What are these? Some kind of {{color2|f00|Gold Teeth}}?"''
:JAMES: ''"T-teeth? No matter how gold they are, some things just aren't worth the effort..."''
:JESSIE: ''"Ah, it's the twerp! What're you doing here? Never mind that-take these off our hands!"''
:JAMES: ''"We're busy, so you take care of whatever those are for us!"''
:JESSIE: ''"That's right! Now's the time for our fantastic getaway!"''
;[[Saffron City]]
*Trying to get in to Silph Co.
:JESSIE: ''"Just let us through already!"''
:JAMES: ''"How can you say that when we're on the same side?!"''
:JESSIE: ''"How rude! You'd deny a beautiful girl what she wants? Move it, already!"''
:JAMES: ''"Hey! Jessie! Wait for me!"''
;[[Silph Co.]]
*Before battle
:???: ''"Hold it right there, twerp!"''

:JESSIE: ''"Argh! Don’t be such a wimp! This is the boss we’re talking about! He’s hiding himself for now, but he must be preparing for the next scheme!"''
:JAMES: ''"...Yeah, of course! Then let’s steal Pokémon all over the world to help the boss!"''
:MEOWTH: ''"...Mrawr!"''
:JAMES: ''"Ah! It’s that annoying twerp again!"''
:JESSIE: ''"Why are you eavesdropping on us?"''

*If the player only has one Pokémon

:JAMES: ''"With that {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}}/{{p|Eevee}}{{sup/7|E}}, we may be able to conquer the world! Hey, do you want to join Team Rocket?"''
:Regardless if the player answers '''No way!''' or '''Well...''': ''"OK. Fine. Humph, we’re enemies after all! But if you do change your mind, come back anytime. I’ll give you this. I made it myself."''
