Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. To prevent them from getting too much attention, Giovanni did not allow Jessie's and James's other Pokémon to be sent to them, only making them use Pokémon native to Unova. This, however, made Meowth think of what would happen to him. Throughout most of the series, Meowth and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always failing in their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. In Unova, however, he, along with the rest of his team, developed a more serious attitude in their work, as he had when first introduced, being quicker-witted and much more resourceful than before and using ingenious methods of escape and thus proving much more difficult for Ash to defeat. He has also demonstrated much more battling skill than before, being agile enough to land on his feet when blown back by Ash's {{TP|Ash|Pidove}}'s {{m|Gust}}, and unlike before, does not horribly injure himself in battle. | Jessie, James, and Meowth were sent to the [[Unova]] region under orders from Giovanni after they were promoted in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''.

In ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', while in [[Nimbasa City]], Team Rocket prepared to put their latest plan into action. Later, in the next episode, ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', Meowth was found injured by Ash, Iris and Cilan. While recovering, Meowth explained that while in Nimbasa City, he had botched up Team Rocket's scheme badly and was fired by Giovanni, leading to Jessie and James turning their backs on him. Later, [[Iris's Axew]] was kidnapped by a {{p|Scrafty}}, who wanted Axew's help to get its home back from a {{p|Mandibuzz}}. Using his ability to speak to both Pokémon and humans, Meowth not only helped get Axew back but also helped Scrafty get its home back and helped Mandibuzz return to her original nest.

Afterwards, Meowth decided to travel with Ash and his friends, only for Iris to attempt to capture him in a {{i|Poké Ball}}. The capture nearly succeeded but Meowth broke out and told her he was going to help her regardless. Ever since, it seems to have become a running gag that he ends up in a Poké Ball at one point in an episode, as Iris tried twice (one of which was because Meowth didn't want a Purrloin to get caught), and by [[Cliff]]. However, in ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'', it was revealed that Meowth's being fired was fake and all just one of Team Rocket's schemes to steal all the Pokémon from Nimbasa City's Pokémon Center. | ||
