Team Rocket Trio consisting of Jessie, James and Meowth (Japanese: ロケット団 Rocket-dan, literally Rocket Gang: Musashi, Kojirō, Nyāsu) are a villainous team in pursuit of evil and the exploitation of Pokémon. They are based in the Kanto and Johto regions, with a small outpost in the Sevii Islands. Later, after the disbandment of the group, its last remains were gathered together in the Alola region to form a new organization, Team Rainbow Rocket.
While its main focus is stealing or capturing rare and strong Pokémon, and subsequently selling them, it also funds and conducts cruel experimental research on Pokémon. At times, it has even killed Pokémon. Their oath, as posted on the wall of one of their many bases, is "Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket." Their ultimate goal is to take over the world using Pokémon.
