=====Kanto=====
Cassidy made her first non-flashback onscreen appearance in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]'' where she along with Butch build a Five-Star Breeding Center. Cassidy advertises the breeding center in order to attract customers. She and Butch successfully get many Pokémon including [[Misty's Psyduck]] and [[James's Weepinbell]].
[[File:EP057.png|thumb|right|200px|Cassidy and Butch performing their motto]]
Cassidy debuted in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. Disguised as a worker in a Five-Star Breeding Center scheme, she and [[Butch]] managed to get many Pokémon including [[Misty's Psyduck]] and [[James's Weepinbell]]. {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}} returned to the Breeding Center to retrieve Psyduck, only to discover the operation was fake and linked to [[Team Rocket]]. [[Todd Snap|Todd]]'s camera flash gives the group away, while the thieving [[Team Rocket trio]] were also caught by Butch and Cassidy. Butch and Cassidy went on to use Todd’s photo’s to frame everyone as the villains, and [[Officer Jenny]] placed them under arrest. Misty was the only one left, and went on to prove Cassidy and Butch were operating the Breeding Center. Butch and Cassidy were then defeated by [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and got arrested by Officer Jenny.


When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} return to the breeding center, they overhear Cassidy reporting back to {{an|Giovanni}}. After Jessie, James and Meowth enter the breeding center, they get caught in the act by her and Butch. While Butch had everyone except {{an|Misty}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} caged, Cassidy resumes her job as a breeding center worker. Misty disguises herself and she has Cassidy look after her Psyduck to distract her while Pikachu went to get the camera. The Psyduck gets returned and Misty goes to Officer Jenny to show her the evidence. Ash and the others are free. Cassidy battles Ash after her cover gets blown but is defeated by Pikachu and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. She, along with Butch, are taken to jail.
=====Orange Archipelago=====
Cassidy returns in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'' where it was revealed that {{an|Giovanni}} bailed the pair out of jail. Using a {{p|Drowzee}} from their fake Breeding Center, they {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} the Pokémon on [[Mandarin Island North]] into turning against their Trainers. Ash's group collaborated with Officer Jenny, her {{p|Gastly}} who was unaffected by the Hypnosis waves, and the Rocket trio to get the Pokémon back. As the machine was destroyed, all of the possessed Pokémon were free and Butch and Cassidy were arrested again.


====Orange Archipelago====
=====Johto=====
Cassidy returns in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'' where it was revealed that she had gotten out of jail and took a Drowzee that was with her and Butch in the fake breeding center. Before Ash went to the Orange Islands, she went to Mandarin Island to do business. Cassidy orders the Drowzee to hypnotize the Pokémon to turn against their Trainers. Ash and his friends have Jessie and James work with them to get the Pokémon back. They managed to infiltrate their base, with Ash and the others demanding Butch and Cassidy to give them back the Pokémon. It was no use as Cassidy once again orders Drowzee to make the hypnotized Pokémon attack their Trainers. Ash forces his Pikachu to attack him in order for the attack to hit the machine. As the machine was destroyed, all of the possessed Pokémon were free and Butch and Cassidy were arrested again.
Butch and Cassidy opened another fake {{pkmn|Day Care}} in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'', this time giving away free fortune telling books that will tell each Trainer which Pokémon they represent. Similar to their earlier fake Breeding Centers, Trainers drop of one of their Pokémon off, this time with the belief that the day care owners will help them [[trade]] Pokémon. After learning that he was the {{p|Moltres}} type, [[James]] felt bold enough to lead the thieving operation. However the Rocket trio were stopped by Butch and Cassidy who revealed themselves and get tied up in the process, only for them to escape. Misty returned to the Day Care to find out about her Pokémon type, but instead discovered the cages full of stolen Pokémon. Cassidy and Butch catch Misty and her friends trying to free the caged Pokémon, and a battle ensues. Butch sends out {{p|Primeape}} which manages to defeat Misty’s {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}. Jessie and James's next attempt to steal from their rivals also fails. Butch then notices Ash's group trying to free the Pokémon. Cassidy and Butch battle them but are defeated. Afterwards, Officer Jenny places them under arrest


====Johto====
Now working alongside [[Dr. Namba]], Cassidy and Butch were assigned to capture a {{jo|Silver|child Lugia}} spotted near [[Ogi Isle]]. In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'' to ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'' Butch and Cassidy succeeded, catching both Silver and {{an|Lugia|its parent}} to help Dr. Namba perfect his "Rage Crown" invention. By ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', Ash, his friends and [[Ritchie]] were also captured for interfering. [[Oliver]] lead the counter-operation, freeing the captives and helping to rescue the two Lugia from Team Rocket's clutches. Meanwhile Jessie and James also assisted, sinking the submarine operation and blasting Butch and Cassidy off thanks to {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s {{m|Counter}}.
Cassidy builds a Day Care in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' and disguises herself as one of the owners. She gives away Fortune Telling books that will tell each Trainer which Pokémon they present. Similar to the fake breeding center earlier, Trainers can drop of one of their Pokémon off. Jessie and James go to the Day Care to steal the Pokémon there. However, they get stopped by the owners who reveal their disguises and get tied up in the process, only for them to escape. Misty goes to the Day Care to find out about her Pokémon type but finds out that it was a fake Day Care as part of the Team Rocket duo's scheme to steal Pokémon. Cassidy manages to catch Misty and her friends from freeing the caged Pokémon. The Team Rocket trio come in with James in his Moltres costume. She battles with the Team Rocket trio first using her Raticate. Raticate didn't do well at first but managed to blast them off in the end. Cassidy notices Ash, Misty and Brock trying to free the Pokémon when they battled the Team Rocket trio. Butch and Cassidy battle them but get defeated by Pikachu, {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} and {{AP|Totodile}}. Afterwards, Officer Jenny arrives and takes them away.
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and {{pkmn|Chronicles}}====
In Pokémon Chronicles, Cassidy becomes a recurring antagonist, often capturing Pokémon for Dr. Namba's R project. However such attempts like at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' and stealing [[Caserin and Luverin]] from the [[Cerulean Gym]] in ''[[HS16|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'' were thwarted.


During the {{p|Lugia}} arc, Dr. Namba assigns Cassidy to capture the said Pokémon. She does so by creating a Lugia decoy and manages to capture the {{jo|Silver|child Lugia}}. With the younger Lugia captured, Dr. Namba has Cassidy capture the parent Lugia using the child as bait. The parent Lugia falls for it but is stopped by Ash's and Ritchie's Pikachu. Cassidy is prepared and uses a contraption called the rage crown invented by Dr. Namba to make a Pokémon go in rage. Cassidy tries it on her Houndour and her Houndour brutally defeats the heroes and catches the parent Lugia without any interference. The gang is also captured as well. In Team Rocket's base, Butch and Cassidy have a rematch with Ash and Ritchie using Pikachu and [[Sparky]], respectively, after they got freed. The contraptions on the opposing side's Pokémon are removed and get defeated by the Pikachu. After their defeat, the duo have a rematch with their rivals in Team Rocket. It becomes a tie as both sides manage to free the parent Lugia and get blasted off.
In  ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', the pair kidnapped {{an|Professor Oak}} from {{an|Seafoam Island}}'s [[Television]] station to learn more about [[Pokérus]]. [[DJ Mary]], {{Tracey}} and [[Ritchie]] manage to trace them down to an abandoned warehouse and send them blasting off.  


==={{series|Advanced Generation}} and {{pkmn|Chronicles}}===
Cassidy appeared in ''[[AG064|True Blue Swablu]]'' during Meowth's [[boss fantasy]], in which she was shown failing after the trio successfully caught a {{p|Swablu}}.
In Pokémon Chronicles, Cassidy becomes a recurring antagonist, often capturing Pokémon for Dr. Namba's R project. She mostly went for rare and unseen Pokémon but failed to do so after getting defeated every time.


Cassidy appears in ''[[AG064|True Blue Swablu]]'' in Meowth's [[boss fantasy]], in which she is shown failing after the trio successfully caught a {{p|Swablu}}. She cameos in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team!]]'' while riding on a motor scooter and flies away via jetpack when given a mission from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}. Cassidy reappears in ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch!]]'', where she hosts a tournament as another facade to steal Pokémon, unbeknownst to the participants. She temporarily sides with James after he and Jessie went their separate ways for a little while. Their plan was found out when [[Max]] went chasing after {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and stumbled across a room of Poké Balls. Ash, along with the other participants, managed to stop them, and she and Butch left empty-handed.
Cassidy and Butch made cameos in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' where they were seen leaving Team Rocket HQ using jet packs.  


==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
In ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch!]]'', Cassidy and Butch hosted a fake tournament in [[Sable City]] in a ploy to steal the competitors Pokémon. After the Rocket trio split up, Jessie forced Butch to be her replacement partner in an attempt to make off with all of the Pokémon. Similarly Cassidy made James her new partner. However the two Rocket teams re-arranged once again, with Jessie returning to James. The rivalry between the two Rocket teams’ spills over, with Jessie and James trapping their rivals in pitfalls traps and sending them blasting off. Though their own theft plot is stopped and the stolen Pokémon recovered thanks to Ash and his friends.
Cassidy appeared in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'' along with [[Butch]]. Cassidy was after a {{p|Hippowdon}} for Dr. Namba's Hippowdon sand. She went in her Rhyhorn mecha to capture it but she had to compete with Jessie and James's Slowbro mecha first. Both sides got sent blasting off in the end by Hippowdon's {{m|Hyper Beam}}.


==Character==
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====
Cassidy's partner is [[Butch]], and she is one of the few that usually manages to get his name right. However, she has gotten his name wrong on many occasions - much to his frustration, as everyone else also calls him either "Biff", "Bill", "Bob", "Hutch", "Butcher", "Patch", "Botch", or "Buffy", among others (コサンジ ''Kosanji'' in Japanese).
In another operation under Dr. Namba, Cassidy and Butch appeared in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]'', where they used their Rhyhorn robot in an attempt to capture a {{p|Hippowdon}}. They first had to contend with Jessie and James's rival Slowbro mecha. However, they was stopped by the other Hippowdon, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Hippopotas}}, Ash, and his friends. Both sides got sent blasting off in the end by Hippowdon's {{m|Hyper Beam}}.


Cassidy and [[Jessie]] met either before or shortly after their both joining Team Rocket, and are assumed to have been rivals since then. The two women are almost equally vain. However, unlike Jessie, Cassidy keeps her cool easier and is much less prone to violent outbursts. Cassidy annoys Jessie to no end with her arrogance, and it appears that Cassidy likes instigating this frustration. She also often referenced to Jessie, her awareness of {{an|Giovanni}}'s dislike towards {{DL|Team Rocket|In the anime|the Trio}}, and that they were likely to be thrown out of Team Rocket, something that Jessie usually ignores.

While Cassidy is much more domineering than her quieter teammate, the pair equally contribute to fulfiiling their schemes.

Cassidy and [[Jessie]] have been bitter rivals since their days at the [[Team Rocket Academy]]. The two women are almost equally vain. However, unlike Jessie, Cassidy keeps her cool easier and is much less prone to violent outbursts.

In another operation under Dr. Namba, Cassidy and Butch appeared in Sleight of Sand!, where they used their Rhyhorn robot in an attempt to capture a Hippowdon. They first had to contend with Jessie and James's rival Slowbro mecha. However, they was stopped by the other Hippowdon, Hippopotas, Ash, and his friends. Both sides got sent blasting off in the end by Hippowdon's Hyper Beam.

Character

Cassidy and Jessie's rivalry on display

Cassidy's partner is Butch, and she is one of the few that usually manages to get his name right. However, she has gotten his name wrong on many occasions - much to his frustration, as everyone else also calls him either "Biff", "Bill", "Bob", "Hutch", "Butcher", "Patch", "Botch", or "Buffy", among others (コサンジ Kosanji in Japanese). While Cassidy is much more domineering than her quieter teammate, the pair equally contribute to fulfiiling their schemes.

Cassidy and Jessie have been bitter rivals since their days at the Team Rocket Academy. The two women are almost equally vain. However, unlike Jessie, Cassidy keeps her cool easier and is much less prone to violent outbursts. Cassidy annoys Jessie to no end with her arrogance, and it appears that Cassidy likes instigating this frustration by spreading rumors of demotion and Giovanni's dislike for the Team Rocket trio.

This listing is of Cassidy's known Pokémon in the anime:

On hand

Cassidy's Raticate
Raticate
Raticate was Cassidy's signature Pokémon during the original series. It cannot talk unlike Meowth, but it does occasionally say its name at the end of Butch and Cassidy's motto. Also unlike Meowth, Cassidy keeps Raticate in a Poké Ball.

Raticate first became her Pokémon sometime before becoming a recruit in the Team Rocket Academy. In Training Daze, Raticate was with Cassidy and Butch when they tried to steel the red Snorlax, just as they got to it, all three fell down a trap. It was then seen injured when Cassidy and Butch were promoted to "villains in trianing".

Raticate's first offical appearance was in The Breeding Center Secret, were it said it's line at the end of Butch and Cassidy's motto. It was later used to battle Ash and his Pikachu just as they were about to be arrested by Officer Jenny. Raticate never got a chance to attack in the battle, as one Thunderbolt was enough to faint it.

In The Fortune Hunters, Raticate was used to battle Totodile, the battle ended in a tie when Jessie, James, and Meowth interupted the match. Cassidy then had Raticate battle James's Victreebel and Jessie's Wobbuffet, with it and Butch's Primeape sending the entire trio blasting off. Raticate then battled Misty and her Poliwhirl, but lost when Ash's Pikachu used Thunderbolt once again.

In The Ole' Berate and Switch!, it's revealed that Butch has access to use Cassidy's Raticate. It battled Ash's Pikachu, and was defeated by another Thunderbolt.

Raticate's known moves are Tackle, Super Fang*, and Skull Bash.
