[[File:Team Rocket disguises Alola.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket's disguises, commonly used in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'']]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Team Rocket]] members often use a variety of disguises in order to carry out their schemes, the most well-known example of this being those of [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}. A running gag involving Jessie, James, and Meowth is no matter how obvious, bizarre or pathetic their disguises are, Ash and his friends never recognize them until it is too late.
[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, like other [[Team Rocket]] members, often use a variety of disguises in order to carry out their schemes. The obvious and bizarre costumes serve as a {{wp|running gag}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} usually fail to recognize {{TRT}} until it is too late.

Jessie, James, and Meowth, like other Team Rocket members, often use a variety of disguises in order to carry out their schemes. The obvious and bizarre costumes serve as a running gag in the anime, where Ash and his friends usually fail to recognize Team Rocket until it is too late.
