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 male with short brown hair, 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!'']]. | 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'']].

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]]''. | 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!''.
