[[File:Gun.png|thumb|220px]]

Team Rocket use a {{wp|bazooka}}, albeit with {{wp|cherry blossom}} petals as ammunition, and a {{wp|submachine gun}} to carry out an armed robbery of the [[Poké Mart]] for bomb ingredients. Shortly thereafter, the store owners and customers mistake Ash for a member of Team Rocket trying to rob the store again and point several {{wp|handgun}}s, {{wp|shotgun}}s, and {{wp|assault rifle}}s at Ash's head. Later in the episode, Team Rocket use the bombs that they had previously stolen to try to destroy the [[Squirtle Squad]].

This violent episode had much weaponry use throughout. In the first few minutes of the show, Ash tries to capture what he thinks is a {{p|Chansey}} but it turns out to be Safari Ranger Jenny wearing a Chansey hat. She then aims an {{wp|M1 carbine}} at the group and orders Ash to drop the [[Poké Ball]]. James uses a tranquilizer gun to knock out the Kangaskhan. {{ka|Tommy}} uses a {{wp|boomerang}} as a weapon, hitting Ash in the face with it. With it, he also knocks the fuel cap off of Team Rocket's mecha, leaking fuel everywhere; combined with Ash's {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} attack set the mecha ablaze. Then, [[Tommy's parents]] crash into the mecha with a helicopter to save Tommy, Ash, and his friends. Throughout the episode, hammers, logs, and fists are used to hit people.

This episode was banned due to the {{safari|Kanto}} [[Kaiser|Warden]] pointing a {{wp|revolver}} at {{Ash}} and even firing at {{TRT}}. Team Rocket even held Kaiser hostage and pointed guns at him. Due to this, it left a major {{AP|plot hole|Tauros}} in the anime. Dubs were made, but never aired. Team Rocket also uses a bomb to hurt the Pokémon in the Dragon Valley in order to fish out a Dratini living there.

Early in the episode, Ash and {{ashfr}} come across a policeman acting as a burglar fleeing. Ash tries to order {{AP|Pikachu}} to stop him, but the policeman is holding a {{wp|pistol}}, which scares Pikachu. Also, Team Rocket use two gases as weapons to dull the Pokémon's sniffing ability and to cause the character's voices to become high-pitched. One substance may be Gloom pollen, as it is labeled with a Gloom, the same color as one, and accompanied by the same sound effect as Gloom's pollen. The latter is implied to be {{wp|helium}}.

|In [[Generation I]], numerous {{pkmn|trainer}}s are armed with whips, including [[Ace Trainer (Trainer class)|Cooltrainers]], {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s, {{tc|Rocker}}s, {{tc|Tamer}}s, and [[Gym Leader]] [[Sabrina]]. For the [[Generation III]] remakes, most lost these whips, but Tamers did retain them.

|Remoraid's design is based off a {{wp|revolver}}, while its evolution Octillery is based off a {{wp|cannon}}.

|These Pokémon have protruding fangs based off {{wp|axe}}s.
