In most of their appearances, they attempt to capture [[Ash's Pikachu]], or any other Pokémon to give to their boss, {{an|Giovanni}}. However, they almost always 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). Typically right after making a capture, they will recite their {{motto}}, though on some occasions they're unable to finish. This has been parodied by protagonists and even other Team Rocket members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]. | In most of their appearances, they attempt to capture [[Ash's Pikachu]], or any other Pokémon to give to their boss, {{an|Giovanni}}.

Since their debut, the trio is near-singlemindedly obsessed with capturing Ash's Pikachu, particularly after witnessing his power, and have relentlessly pursued Ash and his friends across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]] to do so; though they often succeed in doing so, they never manage to hold on to Pikachu for long. To this end, they frequently develop various kinds of shockproof gadgets and machinery to do so ({{TP|Team Rocket|mechas}}, rubber suits, etc.). However, these gadgets are often circumvented by non-Electric attacks and abilities, which they constantly forget to account for, or simply backfire in the end. | Since their debut, the trio is near-singlemindedly obsessed with capturing Ash's Pikachu, particularly after witnessing his power, and have relentlessly pursued Ash and his friends across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]] to do so; though they often succeed in doing so, they never manage to hold on to Pikachu for long.
