In the Kanto and Johto sagas, Rocket scientists do not make many appearances as they appear to be keeping to the shadows. In fact, the only Rocket scientist to be known to the public is Blaine, who helped on the Mewtwo Project.

In PS020, it was shown that the Eevee that Red owned was asked to get for Erika was part of the "Eevee Bio-Engineering Scheme" that would allow Team Rocket to have a weapon with the skills to make an Eevee transform freely among its evolved forms without the use of evolutionary stones. The scientists did this at Giovanni's command.

Most of the scientists were killed when Mewtwo destroyed the Cinnabar Lab in PS034.

In the anime

Giovanni hired Dr. Fuji to use his team of scientists to find and clone Mew. Dr. Fuji agreed out of the hope that the money given to him to develop the cloning technology would allow him to make a replica of his late daugher Amber. The scientists succeeded in cloning Mew, and Mewtwo was created; however, soon after its awakening, Mewtwo destroyed the lab in which it was created and the scientists within it.

Other Rocket scientists worked under Professor Sebastian, making the forced Pokémon evolution beam and the crystal system that traps the Electric Pokémon Raikou in The Legend of Thunder!. Further into Johto, a team of Rockets working under Namba managed to trap two Lugia, a mother and child. Namba was last known to be researching Hippowdon's sand.
