Team Rocket is a criminal organization led by {{s|bulbapedia|Giovanni}}. They operate in {{s|bulbapedia|Kanto}} and {{s|bulbapedia|Johto}}, focusing on [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon]] theft and experimentation for profit and world domination. The [[Pokémon Trainer|player character]] of the Kanto games encounters and battles [[bulbapedia:Team Rocket Grunt (Trainer class)|Team Rocket Grunts]], [[bulbapedia:Executive (Trainer class)|Executives]], and even Giovanni himself throughout their journey in locations such as {{s|bulbapedia|Mt. Moon}} and [[Saffron City]]. Giovanni disbands the team upon his final defeat in the [[bulbapedia:Viridian Gym|Viridian City Gym]], as he flees and begins a reclusive life, but its members continue to operate without him in Kanto's {{s|bulbapedia|Sevii Islands}}. | Team Rocket is a criminal organization led by {{s|bulbapedia|Giovanni}}.

Following this, Team Rocket would later resurface in the Johto games. After failing to establish operations in {{s|bulbapedia|Azalea Town}} and {{s|bulbapedia|Mahogany Town}}, they attempt to convince Giovanni to rejoin the team by taking over the [[bulbapedia:Goldenrod Radio Tower|radio tower]] in {{s|bulbapedia|Goldenrod City}}, where they are permanently defeated and disbanded. As revealed in ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', Giovanni receives the message, but does not respond due to interference from the player character (aided by a time-traveling [[Celebi]]). Even after this, one particular member continued to cause trouble in Kanto—namely by stealing the {{s|bulbapedia|Machine Part}} from the {{s|bulbapedia|Kanto Power Plant}}—as he was apparently unaware the team had dissolved. | Following this, Team Rocket would later resurface in the Johto games.

Team Rocket is the first example of a {{s|bulbapedia|villainous team}} in the ''Pokémon'' series, adding a more in-depth plot in addition to the player's quest to catch every Pokémon and become the champion of the Pokémon League. Later games in the franchise introduce additional teams that feature a similar role in the storyline, such as {{s|bulbapedia|Team Galactic}} and {{s|bulbapedia|Team Flare}}. In the {{s|bulbapedia|Unova}} games, a member of {{s|bulbapedia|Team Plasma}} mentions Team Rocket as inspiration for their ambitions, implying that they are notorious within the setting of the series. <!--Do not add anything about Rainbow Rocket | Team Rocket is the first example of a {{s|bulbapedia|villainous team}} in the ''Pokémon'' series, adding a more in-depth plot in addition to the player's quest to catch every Pokémon and become the champion of the Pokémon League.
