Team Magma and Team Aqua are presented as more individual than they are in any other medium. Team Magma is presented as better equipped in the field of capturing a Legendary Pokémon and using its powers for their own end, as shown by their knowledge and obtainment of the two Orbs, however, they are not as influential, and Archie is able to convince most of Hoenn that Team Magma are the only villains. | Team Magma and Team Aqua are presented as more individual than they are in any other medium.

[[File:Team Galactic Grunts DPPt.png|thumb|right|Team Galactic grunts]] | |||
Galactic Grunts wear black and white jumpsuits that vaguely resemble spacesuits and wear their hair in teal bowl cuts. Their leader is [[Cyrus]], who wishes to create a new universe by awakening {{p|Dialga}} or[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|*]]/and[[Pokémon Platinum Version|*]] {{p|Palkia}}. Their team's crest is a stylized letter "G" (Possibly to make it resemble a spiral galaxy). Whereas the other teams usually have large logos on their uniforms, Team Galactic's logos are small, being barely visible on their battle sprites. | |||
====In the games==== | ====In the games==== | ||
In {{ | In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, this team's leader (named [[Cyrus]]) wishes to recreate the {{pkmn|universe}} in his image with the powers of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. In {{game|Platinum}}, the leader is still Cyrus, but this time, he tries to summon both Dialga and Palkia to create a world without spirit. | ||

[[Saturn]], along with two grunts, appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was just a brief cameo at the end of the episode. Here, they commissioned Team Rocket to steal the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}} and frame [[Nando]] for the crime. At the end, they commented that they did a lousy job at it. This was not revealed until their next appearance, ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. Saturn tries to locate the {{p|Unown}} and control them using a cube with an {{p|Arceus}} pattern. [[Cyrus]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]] later appeared in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' with Saturn. | |||

[[File:Black White Team Plasma Grunts.png|thumb|right|Team Plasma Grunts]] | |||
Team Plasma is the Villainous team of the Unova region. The grunts wear a costume that resembles a {{wp|knight}}'s armor, while the [[Seven Sages]] wear robes. Their objective is to separate [[human]]ity from Pokémon. Their leader is [[N]], although the team is being used to further the goals of his father, [[Ghetsis]]. Their crest is the letters P and Z combined together, looking like the {{wp|Chi Rho}}. | |||
====In the games==== | ====In the games==== | ||
Team Plasma appears in various locations. Their leader, N, is encountered very early in the game and is battled in many of Team Plasma's appearances. Eventually, N is able to gain control of {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}, and defeats the champion [[Alder]]. After capturing the other Legendary Pokémon and defeating N, Ghetsis comes out and battles the player himself. After defeating him, [[Looker]] will ask the player to round up the Seven Sages and after that is done Team Plasma is officially disbanded. | |||
====In the anime==== | ====In the anime==== | ||
Team Plasma's debut episodes were postponed due to earthquakes in Japan and are set to air at a later date. So, at this point in time, Team Plasma has yet to appear in the anime. | |||

In {{ | In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} this group aims to turn every Pokémon in the world into [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Their leader in Colosseum was [[Mayor Es Cade|Evice]] and their leader in XD: Gale of Darkness was [[Greevil]]. | ||
====In the anime==== | ====In the anime==== | ||
Due to the [[Orre]] region not appearing at all in the anime, everything associated with it does not appear as well. Due to the connection between [[Shadow Pokémon]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]'s [[Dark Ball]]s, it would not be surprising if this team were based on him. | |||

In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD this team tries to steal every Pokémon in the world using their special device, the [[Snag Machine]]. In both games, their leader was [[Gonzap]]. | |||

As above, the Orre region has not appeared in the television series, therefore Team Snagem has not appeared either. | |||
