In most of their appearances, they attempt to capture {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}}, or any other Pokémon to give to Team Rocket's boss, {{an|Giovanni}}. However, they usually get defeated and are {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|Blasting off|blasted off}} with their iconic catchphrase, "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!", or variants such as "Team Rocket's blasting off again!" or "We're blasting off again!" In ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', a {{an|Bewear}} whisks them away as they say their catchphrase "We're off with a new blast!", either following a defeat or when Bewear interrupts a battle. Typically, right after making a capture, they will recite their {{motto}}, although on some rare occasions, they are unable to finish. This has been parodied by protagonists and even other Team Rocket members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]].

Since witnessing his power, the trio has been obsessed with capturing Ash's Pikachu, relentlessly pursuing Ash and [[Ash's friends|his many friends]] across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]] to do so. Although they often succeed in capturing Pikachu, they have never managed to hold on to him for longer than a day.  They frequently develop or purchase various kinds of shockproof gadgets and machinery ({{TP|Team Rocket|mechas}}, rubber suits, etc.) to aid in his capture, but these gadgets are often circumvented by non-Electric attacks and abilities (for which the trio constantly forgets to account) or simply backfire.
