Team Rocket

File:Team Rocket trio XY 2.png

Team Rocket (Jessie, James, and Meowth) is a group of Pooh's #1 enemies and part of the New United Alliance of Evil. Their main goal is, or was, solely to capture Pikachu. Now they're changing plans; they want to get their hands on Pooh and his friends and take them to Bowser and their leader Giovanni to avoid their Plans, but Pooh and his pals always defeat Team Rocket easily just like what Ash and his friends did.

The team consists of: Jessie, a brash and temperamental red-headed Greedy woman; James, a goofy and comical purple-haired man; and Meowth, a snide and crafty member of the Pokémon species of the same name, but unique for his ability to speak English.

In JN145, Jessie, James and Meowth blamed at each other for their constant failures and split up, resulting in them being permanently and presumably disbanded for good. They each vowed to become a legend on their own. However, as of JN147, they got back together to continue their never-ending quest to capture Pikachu, always travelling not so far away from Ash's side. Their status remains unknown in the Pokémon Horizons anime, for another villainous group has appeared from the shadows....

This inadvertently started a bitter rivalry with the Time Skeletons in the latter half of the adventure, now having competition over who can better capture Pikachu.
