In the anime

Dr. Zager, a scientist

Giovanni hired Dr. Fuji to use his team of scientists to find and clone Mew. Dr. Fuji agreed, hoping that the money given to him to develop the cloning technology would allow him to make a replica of his late daughter Amber. The scientists succeeded in cloning Mew, and Mewtwo was created; however, soon after its awakening, Mewtwo destroyed the lab in which it was created and the scientists within it.

Other Rocket scientists worked under Professor Sebastian, making the forced Pokémon evolution beam and the crystal system that traps the Electric Pokémon Raikou in The Legend of Thunder!. Further into Johto, a team of Rockets working under Dr. Namba managed to trap two Lugia, a mother and child. Namba was last known to be researching Hippowdon's sand.

A scientist named Dr. Zager appeared in Unova, working with Pierce to analyze the Meteonite and discover its potential. In later episodes, he begun filling a superior officer role to Jessie and James similar to that of Dr. Namba in relation to Butch and Cassidy.

In the manga
