Team Rocket's disguises, commonly used in Sun & Moon series

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 Meowth. 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.
