Neo Team Rocket is a term used by some fans to refer to Masked Man's resurrection of Team Rocket in Pokémon Adventures. This term is also occasionally (and unofficially) used to describe the Team Rocket regrouping featured in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal, though more often as Team Rocket under the Masked Man. All of Neo Team Rocket wears masks covering half their faces. Sabrina and Lt. Surge worked together to stop Neo Team Rocket, but were not the ones to initially bring it down. However, they only wanted to defeat it so it could become normal Team Rocket again.

In The Games

Neo Team Rocket appeared in Johto searching for Giovanni ,their long lost leader who hasn't been seen for a year. The player will face them several times through the games. The player first meets them in the act of cutting off the tails of Slowpoke. After defeating the Pokémon League, the player will need to battle one more grunt who stole a important part for the power plant in Kanto. After convincing him that Team Rocket has in fact disbanded, he gives the part to the player and disappears.

In The Adventures Manga

Neo Team Rocket was first seen in Sneasel Sneak Attack where they had stolen Gold's backpack thinking it was Joey's who had Pokémon vital to Professor Elm's research. After they realized their mistake, they threw away the backpack, accidentally releasing Polibo into a river. They then go directly to Professor Elm's lab where Gold and Silver were battling. They ended the battle by electrocuting Gold with an Elekid, thus knocking him unconscious, and challenge Silver to a battle. Silver manages to defeat them with his Totodile and Sneasel, and Neo Team Rocket retreats.

They later appear in Into the Unown as Gold and Bugsy were exploring the Ruins of Alph. They bind the two and their Pokémon up using Spinarak's String Shot so that they could steal the sleeping Unown. However, Gold has Sunbo use Sunny Day which temporarily blinds the Neo Team Rocket members, as well as Bugsy, and awakens all of the Unown who then chase Gold and Bugsy out of the chamber. Neo Team Rocket then trap the pair using Spinarak webs, but the trap backfires as they get stuck in the webs themselves.

Neo Team Rocket appeared for a short time in Ursaring Major at the Slowpoke Well, cutting off Slowpokes' tail. They were quickly stopped by Silver who then bound them with ropes and left them there where they are later found by Kurt.

They're later encountered infiltrating the Tin Tower in Piloswine Whine with Sham and Carl leading a group of Neo Team Rocket members in destroying Ecruteak City in search for information on Ho-Oh. As a huge battle wages on, Sham states that they've collected all the information that they can, and Carl orders their forces to retreat.

A trio of Neo Team Rocket elites later attempt to capture Suicune after following Eusine in Indubitably Ditto, but they are quickly halted when Crystal has Parasee use Spore to put every Pokémon in a 2 mile radius to sleep. Eusine then battles against Neo Team Rocket in Great Girafarig while Crys searches for Suicune. They surround the battlefield in an electric web created by Spinarak and Elekid, and Eusine sends out his Jumpluff after being electrocuted by the web. His Jumpluff uses Cotton Spore, as well as a sneaky Leech Seed and the two manage to make their escape, leaving behind a dummy and metal chain wrapped around the web that Girafarig's tail clamps down on, electrocuting both Harry and his Girafarig.

Sham and Carl later appear in Bringing Up Bellossom having taken control of the Magnet Train during the Gym Leader battles. The Gym Leaders then board the train, and a major battle ensues. This later proves to be a diversion so the Masked Man could fulfill his mission to capture Celebi.
