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.

In most of their appearances, they attempt to capture [[Ash's Pikachu]], or any other Pokémon to give to Team Rocket's boss, {{an|Giovanni}}. However, they usually get defeated and, are {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Blasting off|blasted off}} with their iconic catchphrase "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" ([[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub) or "We're blasting off again!" ([[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] dub) or being grabbed by a [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime#Bewear|Bewear (anime)]] and running away with their catchphrase "What is this feelings?" in {{series|SM}}. Typically, right after making a capture, they will recite their {{motto}}, although on some occasions they are unable to finish. This has been parodied by protagonists and even other Team Rocket members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]].

Since witnessing his power, the trio has been obsessed with capturing Ash's Pikachu, relentlessly pursuing Ash and his friends across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]] to do so. Although they often succeed in capturing Pikachu, they never manage to hold on to him for long. They frequently develop or purchase various kinds of shockproof gadgets and machinery ({{TP|Team Rocket|mechas}}, rubber suits, etc.) to aid in his capture, but these gadgets are often circumvented by non-Electric attacks and abilities (which the trio constantly forget to account for) or simply backfire.
