Team Rocket appears as a {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} [[Alternate costume (SSBU)/Mii Fighter|costume]] for ''Ultimate'' as part of the {{h2|Downloadable content (SSBU)|Round 3}} DLC, using the Team Rocket Grunt designs introduced in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|''Pokémon FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'']]. The specific [[Mii]]s used to showcase the costumes (a thin male with short brown hair and prominent cheekbones, and a female with orange bangs) resemble the Team Rocket Grunt models from [[bulbapedia:Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|''Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!'' and ''Let's Go, Eevee!'']].

Throughout the costume's reveal trailer, the Mii Fighters are seen using the [[Poké Ball]] item and [[Shot Put]], referencing the action of catching a Pokémon. {{SSBU|Pikachu}} and [[Eevee]] are seen together at one point to coincide with the Miis being based on the designs of the Team Rocket Grunts in ''Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!'' and ''Let's Go, Eevee!''. Later in the trailer, Shot Put is used against {{SSBU|Mewtwo}}, possibly as a reference to Giovanni’s creation of the Pokémon in ''[[bulbapedia:M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

*Although Team Rocket does not appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', they are indirectly referenced by the Rocket KO [[List of bonuses|special bonus]], which is named after the {{s|bulbapedia|Team Rocket trio}} frequently "blasting off again" in a manner similar to a [[Star KO]].

**Similarly, in the [[Palutena's Guidance]] for [[Pokémon Trainer]], Pit calls him a "twerp", a nickname given to {{s|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}} and his friends by the Team Rocket trio.
*The Team Rocket Costume was the first ''Ultimate'' Mii Fighter costume available for separate purchase to not be part of a third party property, before later being joined by [[Ninjara]] and the [[Squid Sisters]].

*Team Rocket is one of the few instances other than the playable Pokémon Trainer of a human character from the ''Pokémon'' series appearing in ''Smash''. Others include the Professor Oak and Misty trophies in ''Melee'' and the Professor Sycamore and the Pokémon Trainer (Pokémon X & Y) trophies in ''Smash 4''.
