In ''[[Pokémon GO]]'', they are known as [[Team GO Rocket]] and have been featured as recurring opponents in events starting in June 2019. Members of Team GO Rocket invade Pokéstops and battle with teams of three Shadow Pokémon. When defeated, they will abandon one Shadow Pokémon, which the player will have a chance to catch.

− | + | In ''[[Pokémon Masters]]'', Giovanni's background with Team Rocket was referenced. Jessie, James and Meowth were also featured in the "Double Trouble" Special Event that started running in July 2020 as a promotional tie-in with the ''Pokémon'' anime film ''Coco''. Through the event, Jessie and her Arbok could be unlocked as a playable sync pair. In the event, the trio had come to [[Pasio]] in pursuit of a shiny [[Celebi]] (from the film). Pretending to have altruistic motives, they convinced [[Scottie/Bettie]] to help them in seeking the Pokémon and fending off [[Team Break]]. Together, they managed to stop Team Break from capturing Celebi by defeating them, but Celebi itself escaped. Team Rocket became known as heroes to the locals, and Jessie decided to join Scottie/Bettie's team in order to seek out further opportunities to catch Celebi and other rare Pokémon. | |

− | *In the | + | *In the anime, Team Rocket has appeared as recurring antagonists throughout the series. The primary members featured in nearly every episode are the trio of characters: Jessie, James and their talking Meowth. They are played as bumbling comic relief villains, and on a number of occasions, they end up helping out the protagonists, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Their actual goal is to steal rare Pokémon, with their sights usually set on Ash Ketchum's [[Pikachu]], as they consider it to be special and powerful. Other members of Team Rocket are less commonly shown, with Giovanni himself only making occasional appearances. Different agents of Team Rocket have also appeared occasionally, all of them being original characters, such as a pair named Butch and Cassidy. Unlike in the games and other continuities, Giovanni was never definitively defeated, and Team Rocket never disbanded. This has allowed Jessie, James and Meowth to continue to operate even during Ash's adventures in other regions beyond Kanto and Johto. During ''Best Wishes'', the series based on the fifth generation games, Jessie and James received black outfits and were portrayed in a more competent light, as they received missions directly from Giovanni and succeeded at some of them. They later reverted to their original outfits and portrayals in later series. Later series also acknowledged the lack of a Team Rocket presence in some regions ([[Kalos]] and [[Alola]]) beyond the traveling trio. |
*Team Rocket also appears throughout the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, where they were portrayed in a darker fashion and shown to sometimes cause the death of Pokémon. In the ''Red''/''Green''/''Blue'' arc, other gym leaders such as [[Sabrina]], [[Koga]] and [[Lieutenant Surge]] (as well as [[Blaine]], before he reforms towards the end of the arc) appear as Giovanni's lieutenants. They perform a variety of inhumane experiments such as injecting [[Ryhorn]] with something to force its evolution, creating [[Mewtwo]] and implanting an [[Eevee]] with a chip that forces it to alternate between its three possible evolutions randomly. Their ultimate plan was to capture the three legendary birds and the eight gym badges, using the badges to power a machine that forced the three birds to fuse together. However, Red, Green and Blue were able to foil their plans by undoing the fusion and Red then defeated Giovanni in a battle resulting in Team Rocket's temporary disbandment. In the ''Yellow'' arc Giovanni and the former commanders helped Red and company in the final battles with the Elite Four. In the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc, the details of Team Rocket forming again were changed, with [[Pryce|the Mask of Ice]] bringing them together through brainwashing as part of his plan to capture [[Ho-Oh]] and [[Lugia]] followed by [[Celebi]], rather than their game plan of calling for Giovanni. The Rocket Executives from the games also appeared as two of the Mask of Ice's people whom he had raised since childhood and are given the names Kean and Charmaine. After Pryce disappears in time and their brainwashing is undone, they disband again. Giovanni brings Team Rocket back together again in the ''FireRed''/''LeafGreen'' arc, with the three new commanders Carr, Sird and Urm, in order to create [[Deoxys]] as well as seeking Giovanni's son [[Silver]]. | *Team Rocket also appears throughout the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, where they were portrayed in a darker fashion and shown to sometimes cause the death of Pokémon.
