The Rocket Executives as seen in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

A Rocket Executive (Japanese: ロケットだんいんのかんぶ Team Rocket Executive Member) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation II games. They are the heads of Team Rocket after Giovanni abandons the organization. There are two of them, a man and a woman. In the games, they are unnamed; however in the Pokémon Special manga, they are called Keane and Chermaine. In the games, the male disbands Team Rocket after he is defeated for the final time.

They tend to use a combination of Template:Type2 and Template:Type2 Pokémon.

The trainer class makes a return in the Gold and Silver remakes, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. In these games, the class is called Executive Staff. Four characters appear: TRLance ([[{{{2}}} (move)|{{{2}}}]]), Lambda, Athena and Apollo. Athena and Apollo appear to be based off of the original Executives. All four are named after real-life rocket crafts, much like Team Galactic Commanders, who were named after celestial bodies.

Trivia

• Though Rocket Executives are higher in rank than Team Rocket Grunts, the background theme played when fighting them is the same as that for a normal Trainer battle, rather than the Team Rocket battle theme. This was changed in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
