'''Neo Team Rocket''' is a term used to refer to the [[Masked Man]]'s resurrection of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. They served as the main antagonists of the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
Neo Team Rocket first appeared in ''[[PS093|Sneasel Sneak Attack]]'', where the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] stole {{adv|Gold}}'s [[bag|backpack]], thinking it was [[Joey]]'s backpack, which contained Pokémon vital to [[Professor Elm]]'s research. Upon realizing their mistake, they attacked Gold and {{adv|Silver}} while they were battling. Silver was able to defeat them with his {{TP|Silver|Totodile}}, forcing them to retreat.

In ''[[PS100|Into the Unown]]'', the Elite Trio attacked Gold and [[Bugsy]] in an attempt to capture the {{p|Unown}} sleeping inside the ruins, but were once again defeated.

In ''[[PS102|Ursaring Major]]'', some Neo Team Rocket Grunts were seen cutting of [[Slowpoke Tail]]s at the [[Slowpoke Well]], but they were swiftly defeated by Silver and his newly caught {{TP|Silver|Ursaring}}. By the time Gold, [[Kurt]], and [[Maizie]] arrived at the site, Silver had already left, leaving the defeated and tied-up Rocket Grunts for them to find.

In ''[[PS110|Piloswine Whine]]'', Neo Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}}s [[Sham]] and [[Carl]] lead a group of Neo Team Rocket members in destroying [[Ecruteak City]] in search for information on {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While Gold and Silver battled them, Sham stated that they had collected all the information that they could, and Carl ordered their forces to retreat.

In ''[[PS128|Indubitably Ditto]]'' and ''[[PS129|Great Girafarig]]'', the Team Rocket Elite Trio, under the orders of the Masked Man, attempted to capture {{p|Suicune}}, but were defeated by [[Eusine]], even losing possession of the [[Clear Bell]] that the Masked Man had given to them to him.

During the climax of the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, Neo Team Rocket assaulted [[Indigo Plateau]] during an {{wp|Exhibition game|exhibition}} tournament between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]'s [[Gym Leader]]s, using a captured [[Magnet Train]] to have hordes of Grunts attack the [[Pokémon League]] stadium. However, this assault was proven to be a trap as all the Gym Leaders were then locked inside of and sent away aboard the Magnet Train, leaving Indigo Plateau practically undefended as the Masked Man then assaulted it with Ho-Oh and {{p|Lugia}}. He captured Kurt and stole a scroll from him that contained the instructions on creating the [[GS Ball]], which the Masked Man required to achieve his ultimate goal of capturing {{adv|Celebi}}. However, thanks to combined efforts of the Kanto and Johto [[Pokédex holder]]s, he was eventually defeated in one final controntation in [[Ilex Forest]], leading to Neo Team Rocket's downfall.
