However, they almost always get defeated and are blasted off with their iconic catchphrase "We're blasting off again!". Typically right after making a capture, they will recite their {{motto}}, though on some occasions they're unable to finish. This has been parodied by protagonists and even other Team Rocket members, such as [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]. | ||

To this end, they frequently develop various kinds of shockproof gadgets and machinery to do so ([[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]]s, rubber suits, etc.). However, these gadgets are often circumvented by non-Electric attacks and abilities, which they constantly forget to account for, or simply backfire in the end. | ||
Even though they usually only cause trouble for the main characters, they have sometimes helped them, mostly when dealing with a common enemy, as shown in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and later against [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]. They also played a key part in the fight against [[Team Galactic]], teaming up with [[Looker]]. They occasionally put their differences aside for personal reasons, only to later return to their thieving ways. One of the more common moments of truce is during [[Pokémon Contest]]s, which Jessie had a fondness for participating in; however, Ash and his friends are unaware that it is her. | Even though they usually only cause trouble for the main characters, they have sometimes helped them, mostly when dealing with a common enemy, as shown in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and later against [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]].
