Team Rocket first appears in Pokémon Adventures, when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. They are led by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who is portrayed in a much more sinister light than in the anime or games, as with Team Rocket as a whole. | Team Rocket first appears in Pokémon Adventures, when {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} are pursuing {{p|Mew}} in [[Viridian Forest]].

In the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}, the three most prominent members of Team Rocket, collectively referred to as the Team Rocket Triad, are [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Lt. Surge]]. Like the other villainous trios, two members of the Team Rocket Triad (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) are true to their original calling (though as opposed to the other villainous trios, for them it is being Gym Leaders, not being members of their Team), while one goes his own way, that being Koga. | ||

As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad and the four of them go their separate ways. Team Rocket makes a brief comeback aboard the S.S. Aqua, but they are on the whole unsuccessful. Later, however, [[Pryce]], under the guise of the [[Masked Man]], reforms Team Rocket for his own use. At this point, his most prominent members are [[Carl]], [[Sham]], [[Karen]], and [[Will]]. Pryce plans to use Team Rocket to gain control of {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and eventually, {{p|Celebi}}, and through that, control time in order to save his {{p|Lapras}}'s parents. After {{adv|Gold}} convinces him to cease his villainous ways, he too disbands Team Rocket. | As in the games, Giovanni later disbands Team Rocket and shuns the Team Rocket Triad and the four of them go their separate ways.

In the {{ | In the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, Giovanni once again reforms Team Rocket, the most notable members now being the Three Beasts of Team Rocket. The main aim of Team Rocket is to reunite Giovanni with his son {{adv|Silver}} through the use of {{adv|Deoxys}}. Like the other villainous trios, two of the Beasts remain true to their original calling as Rockets, those being [[Orm]] and [[Sird]], while the other, [[Carr]], goes his own way. In this arc, Silver is intended to inherit Team Rocket, but he instead shuns it. | ||
In the {{ | In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, it was revealed that Carr had taken over Team Rocket and gathered the remaining troops together. His reign of power comes to an abrupt end, however, as the organization is then taken over by the four {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executives}}, who intend to gather all the [[Plate]]s and use them to control {{p|Arceus}}. With the unknowing help of Gold, {{adv|Crystal}}, and Silver, the Rocket Executives manage to enter the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], where Arceus recreates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, which [[Archer]] intends to be an invincible army for Giovanni. However, when Giovanni arrives with [[Lance]] and Pryce, it is revealed that the battle of the three [[Legendary Pokémon]] would cause the destruction of both Johto and [[Sinnoh]], as foreseen by Pryce when he was trapped in the time stream. Thanks to Gold opening up to [[Togebo]], Arceus soon calms the {{adv|Pokémon of Myth}} down, sending them back to their respective realms. As a reward for his good deed, Celebi then cures Giovanni of his long-time illness, allowing him to return to lead Team Rocket and its rebuilding. Silver still doesn't approve of his father's criminal life, intending to stop Team Rocket and convince his father of the error of his ways one day by himself. | ||
