[[Team Skull]] is similar to the Kanto Team Rocket, in that they steal Pokémon for profit. However, they operate on a much more local scale than Team Rocket, and unlike Team Rocket's mafia style operation, they are more similar to street gangs. They require assistance from the [[Aether Foundation]] in order to stay functional, and their leader [[Guzma]] responds directly to [[Lusamine]]. Team Skull eventually disbands after Guzma is rescued and reforms. | [[Team Skull]] is similar to the Kanto Team Rocket, in that they steal Pokémon for profit.

After the Motherbeast (a fusion of Lusamine and Nihilego) is defeated in Ultra Space, the Foundation reforms and continues with conserving Pokémon. | ||
