Even though they usually only cause trouble for the main characters, they have sometimes helped them, mostly when dealing with a common enemy, 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; however, Ash and his friends are unaware that it is her.

On several occasions, Jessie, James and Meowth have shown that they are not that bad and even have affection for Ash and his friends. The trio heroically sacrificed themselves to 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]]''. Whilst their justification was that in the case of the world being destroyed or Ash's death, they'd be out of show business (they have broken the fourth wall on many occasions, including this one), 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.

They were revealed to have returned to Unova in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', with returning gags in their team. They also revealed that after the failure of their big scheme to take over Unova using the power of the [[legendary Pokémon]] had failed, they had gone back for their older style of chasing Pikachu and every other seemingly valuable Pokémon around. As a part of their return to the older style, they also started using their {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|original motto}} and an enhanced version of their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth balloon]] once again. However, they seemed to retain some intent of competence by still using their jetpacks on occasions and trying to accomplish their plans in a serious way, as seen when Jessie asked for Meowth to stop singing in ''[[BW113|The Light of Floccesy Ranch!]]''.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'' and ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'' they were spying at [[Team Plasma]]'s operation at the [[White Ruins]], waiting for the right time to enter the scene. However, they only decided to do so after [[Looker]] found out where they were hiding in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'' and asked them for help. Even if they fought against Team Plasma independently of Looker's intended guidance, they still did it in order to help him (having formed a mutual alliance with him during the {{series|DP}}), along with defeating Team Plasma, since they had a rivalry against the organization.

From ''[[BW123|Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!]]'' onwards, the trio returned completely to their previous role as comic relief, retaining only their upgraded technology from ''Best Wishes!''.
