Team Rocket (Japanese: Hepburn: Roketto-dan?, Rocket Gang) is a crime syndicate in the Pokémon metaseries. Their main goal, as stated in the games, is to use Pokémon for profit and in plans for world domination. Most of their technology was acquired through illegal means, and they are known to have at one time cloning technology in the anime.

Jessie (ムサシ Musashi), James (コジロウ Kojirō), and Meowth (ニャース Nyāsu, Nyarth) A recurring of bumbling thieves who constantly follow Ash Ketchum around in order to capture his Pikachu, which they consider exceptionally strong. While they are usually antagonistic towards Ash and his friends, they have shown that they are good-hearted at times and willing to put their differences aside when it is beneficial and then fail at an attempt to steal Pikachu. After failing, they are often sent "blasting off" by an explosion or a Pokémon's attack (Pikachu's Thunderbolt usually); in the current Sun and Moon series, the "blast-off" has been replaced by the trio and their Pokemon being carried off by a Bewear that seems to have adopted them all. They are constantly out to appease their boss, Giovanni, though he finds the group to be incompetent. The trio also breaks the fourth wall on a regular basis.

The trio were the primary source of comic relief in the original series, the Advanced Generation series, and the Diamond and Pearl series. In the Best Wishes series, they took on a more serious role and served absolutely no comic relief for most of the series, however returned to their famous role as comic relief when Ash, Iris, and Cilan left for the Decolore Islands toward the end of the series. They retained this role in the XY and Sun and Moon series.
