They want to capture Ash's Pikachu, and collect other rare Pokémon as well. - Prepare for trouble, make it double.... Jesse, James, and Meowth are the three bumbling field agents for Team Rocket, a mysterious and evil gang looking to steal rare Pokémon. Jesse and James are stuck up, fashion conscious, and prone to cross-dressing. Their introductory chant, while said once almost every episode, always receives a humorous spin to prevent it from getting old. Meowth is a Pokémon that, oddly enough, can actually talk like a human being (he's actually one of the few Pokémon which can talk). Together, they try their hardest to capture Ash's Pikachu, but they ultimately fail.

Made famous by the animated television series, these trainers, also known as Team Rocket, are not featured as individuals in the game. Instead, troops from Team Rocket will battle Ash as a group. However, in the television series Ash often confronts a specific unit from Team Rocket, which consists of three characters:
James — The son of a wealthy family, James, together with his longtime partner Jesse, aims to locate as many rare Pokémon as possible. James sees Pikachu, Ash's companion and an extremely rare Pokémon, as a valuable prize for his Team Rocket companions — a prize that must be captured at any cost.
Jesse — Also a key member of Team Rocket, Jesse is James's partner. She's rather conceited, but her strength makes her a valuable, and sinister, member of Team Rocket. Jesse attempts to thwart Ash's quest to become a great trainer every chance she gets, and her desire to capture Pikachu is as powerful as James's.
Meowth— Although a Pokémon, Meowth is Team Rocket's third member. Meowth's objective is to assist James and Jesse in their effort to collect rare Pokémon, and it is the only Pokémon able to speak the human language. While ambitious and often crafty, Meowth's hasty actions often cause the cat-like Pokémon to overlook important details, which is why Meowth often experiences failure.
