Team Plasma is met early in the games. [[Ghetsis]] appears in [[Accumula Town]] where he is holding a rally trying to get people to join Team Plasma's cause. Following this rally the {{player}} will be approached and battled by a person named [[N]]. After this, the player will next come across two {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s at the [[Dreamyard]] who are trying to capture a {{p|Munna}} in order to get some [[Dream Mist]] to spread their message in people's dreams. After defeating them here they will steal a young girl's Pokémon and hide in the [[Wellspring Cave]]. The player will team up with [[Cheren]] and save the Pokémon. | Team Plasma is met early in the games.

Team Plasma had a role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', where multiple grunts were seen overseeing the awakening of the newly revived [[Genesect Army]]. However, they only had control of the Genesect for a short time before the five Paleozoic Pokémon rebelled and violently escaped. | Team Plasma had a role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', where multiple grunts were seen overseeing the awakening of the newly revived [[Genesect Army]].

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', Team Plasma attacked the {{an|White Ruins}} in order to steal the [[Light Stone]] discovered by [[Cedric Juniper]]. After successfully obtaining the stone, Ghetsis performed a ritual that resurrected {{p|Reshiram}} from the stone. Using Colress's Pokémon Control Device, Ghetsis then took control of Reshiram, but with the support of [[Ash's Pikachu]], Reshiram was able to fight back against its controllers and destroy the control machine. Ghetsis, Colress, and the Plasma Grunts present were subsequently arrested by the [[International Police]], thus bringing down the organization. | |||
Unlike other teams, Team Plasma has named grunts in the anime. [[Aldith]] and [[Barret]] are two grunts who answered directly to Colress and Ghetsis and acted as commanders toward other, unnamed grunts. Two others, [[Schwarz and Weiss]], have been seen conducting specific operations and may be of similar rank. | Unlike other teams, Team Plasma has named grunts in the anime.

Team Plasma, in their incarnation from the original Black and White games, was initially set to debut in {{OBP|BW023|unaired}} and {{OBP|BW024|unaired}} in a confrontation with [[Team Rocket]], but the episodes were postponed indefinitely due to the {{wp|2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami|Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami}} and the {{wp|Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster}}. With the events depicted in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', the episodes have been retconned out of continuity altogether. It is unknown if they will ever air in any form. | |||

It is also revealed what Team Plasma is after in order to achieve their ultimate goal: a {{p|Zekrom|Legendary Dragon-type Pokémon}} who would help their leader to unite the minds of the people in Unova as one and liberate Pokémon. They kidnapped {{adv|Bianca}}'s Litwick, together with several other Pokémon and held them in their stronghold in [[Castelia City]].

Several Team Plasma operations throughout the {{chap|Black & White}} were conducted by the [[Shadow Triad]]; in particular, their kidnapping of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s at the same time that they set their sights on stealing the [[Dark Stone]]. At the end of the arc, several Team Plasma Grunts escaped. One of them, {{adv|Whitley}}, became a [[Pokédex holder]] by the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, which was set two years after the previous arc. By that time, Team Plasma re-emerged as a new force led by [[Colress]], who designed the Grunts' new attire. | Several Team Plasma operations throughout the {{chap|Black & White}} were conducted by the [[Shadow Triad]]; in particular, their kidnapping of the Unova [[Gym Leader]]s at the same time that they set their sights on stealing the [[Dark Stone]].
