Though their general incompetence in making any sort of contribution to Team Rocket didn't go well for them as Giovanni contemplated firing them in one episode<!--which episode?--> (but reassigned them due to problematic developments and manpower shortages in Team Rocket) and was shown to not even remember who they were in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''. However, due to their false reports that they alone caused [[Team Aqua]], [[Team Magma]], and [[Team Galactic]] to disband (as well as defeating [[J]]), [[Matori]] recommended them to Giovanni for his plans in the [[Unova]] region. The trio got promoted and soon they became more serious and less goofy, changing to their black uniforms from their original white uniforms. They focused less on capturing random Pokémon and more on the assignments that are given to them straight from headquarters. In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'' however, Matori informed them that they won't be needed for any more missions at the time. They began to worry that the boss had abandoned them. Before Matori contacted them about the situation, they have already returned to their white uniforms without being informed why. Therefore, they have returned to planning their own schemes like they did in the previous series, but often carry out their current plans in the same manner as their most recent missions and [[Dr. Zager]] frequently assists them in these schemes. They do keep some gadgets, such as jetpacks they occasionally use to retreat; they very rarely blasted off during the {{series|Best Wishes}}, and maintain their recent boost in athleticism. | Though their general incompetence in making any sort of contribution to Team Rocket didn't go well for them as Giovanni contemplated firing them in one episode<!--which episode?--> (but reassigned them due to problematic developments and manpower shortages in Team Rocket) and was shown to not even remember who they were in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]''.
