Team Rocket is a large, villainous group that specialize in stealing Pokémon and trying to take over the world. Their leader is Giovanni, who, ironically, is also the 8th and final gym leader. In the anime, the main protagonist Ash and his friends often find trouble in the form of low-ranking Team Rocket goons Jesse, James and their talking Meowth. Though they are dedicated members to the Rocket cause, they are not portrayed truly evil, and are mainly there for laughs and humorous interruptions. Due to the trio's mechanical genius, they often build machines and attempt to steal Ash's Pikachu, but always end up failing and getting launched into the horizon. Despite this, they are quite persistent and follow Ash through each of his journeys, trying again and again, but failing each and every time.
In the games, Team Rocket is the primary antagonist group in the first couple gens, and again in SoulSilver and HeartGold. The player must complete several storylines and battle through their ranks. However, there is no Jesse, James or talking Meowth in the games.

Team Rocket Motto
Every time the trio of Rockets announce their presence, they will preform their trademark motto. In all the different gens, there are different versions of the motto. However, they all rhyme, talk of evil doing, and usually involve James holding a rose in his mouth. Butch and Cassidy also have their versions, but they only appear sparsely in the anime.
Generations 1-3 motto
Prepare for Trouble...
Make it double...
To protect the World from Devastation
To unite all peoples within our nation
To denounce the evils of truth and Love
To extend our reach to the stars above
Jessie!
James!
Team rocket blast off at the Speed of Light
Surrender Now or prepare to fight
Meowth that's right
Cassidy and Butch version
To infect the world with devastation
To blight the people in every nation
To denounce the goodness of truth and love
To extend our wrath from the stars above
Cassidy and Butch
We team rocket circling earth all day and night
Surrender to us now or you surly lost the fight
Generation 4
Listen is that a voice I hear?
it's speaking to me loud and clear
on the wind
past the stars
in your ear
bringing chaos at a breakneck pace
Dashing hope,putting fear in it's place
A rose by any other name is just as sweet
when everything's worse our work is complete
Jessie!
James
and Meowth dats a name!
putting do gooders in their place
We're team rocket
in your face!
Wobbufett!
The Wobbufett at the End has changed depending on the Pokemon that decides to join in on the motto.
Cassidy and Butch version
A shrieking wine a blast from the past
Spinning like a gyro ball and molding fast
To the moon and beyond what a blast
Admidering justice at lightning speed
Bashing the bad guy should we feel the need
So here is the news flash across the wire
The real team rocket is now on fire
Cassidy and Butch
Teaching the losers a thing or two
The true Team Rocket
Us not you
Generation 14
Bringing the white light into the future
Thrusting the black hammer of justice into the black darkness of the universe
Carving our names in the rock of eternity
The fiery destroyer Jessie
And With thunderous emotion I’m James
Wisest of the wise I’m Meowth
Now gather all under the name of Team Rocket
