For me, it has to be the time in Unova that Team Rocket and their boss Giovanni battled against Ash and his friends and Ash proves to be too strong for them and saved Meloetta and the Forces of Nature (Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus).
Honestly there were just so many good moments with team rocket that it is impossible for me to pick, they have just been such amazing characters, from their time in black and white showing their more serious and terrifyingly professional sides, to them giving Ash and his friends a run for their money with a particular mech that had their original Double Trouble song playing in the background. Edit: I just remembered the episode for the latter that I was talking about. Look for the episode A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!
Not sure if this has been done yet, but how about: Top 10 times Team Rocket were the Good Guys OR Top 10 times Team Rocket were friends/allies to Ash & Frends
@@nickcorrales8172 Ditto. When I saw those suggestions, I thought of "Pokémon Shipwreck," "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak," "Pokémon the Movie 2000," "Pokémon 3: The Movie," and "Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns."
@@BowserMovies1989 - Another example is when Ash helped Team Rocket specifically James train Cacnea to learn Drain Punch, also the episode where Team Rocket free the Ekans & Koffing from the Poacher, releasing Arbok & Weezing while Jessie, James & Meowrh try to fend off a Tyranitar to buy Arbok & Weezing time to escape with the Ekans & Koffing. These episodes always force the waterworks 😢😢😢😭😭😭
@tdog - It was definitely Drain Punch, that episode is one of my absolute favorites, and I have James' heartbreaking speech memorized James: Remember what you said? About Cacnea having high hopes? Gardenia: Yes. And I still do James: Cacnea this is where we part... please go with the Gym Leader Meowth: WHAT ARE YA DOING!? James: Cacnea needs a great trainer to learn how to use Drain Punch... but it's not me. You've got to go! To be your best! (Cacnea protests) James: No! Go away! (Cacnea deflates for a few seconds before accepting that this is what's best) James (In his head): That's my Cacnea. I'll always remember our time together... the sad times... and the joyous of times too... return... and goodbye! Not gonna lie, just writing it all down has me in tears 😅
@@JP_Loco_93 The sting of that episode even carried on much into the next, where James was so depressed by leaving Cacnea behind Jessie and Meowth planned to steal the twerps' pokemon (and ironically they were caught in the act by James who immediately saw right through it)
It really breaks my heart, knowing we won't see these three stooges again. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we'll all miss them like parting with old friends
Two fights I always loved from Team Rocket: 1) Once There Were Greenfields. James wants to prove to Gardenia he can raise Cacnea well and recruits Ash to help it learn Drain Punch. It was close, but Cacnea put everything it had into trying to win. It was a real tear-jerker of an episode. 2) Wobbu-Palooza! The battle with Ego always overshadows this battle. This episode is where Team Rocket were the good guys and helped defend a village of Wobbuffet trainers who wouldn’t fight back due to festival rules. Team Rocket didn’t care about the rules and Wobbuffet saved the day!
My favourite Team Rocket battles where the showdowns they’d have in Orange Island and Johto when Jessie & James would use Arbok, Weezing, Victreebel and Lickitung or / Wobbuffet
@@sthepcorms6747 The only good thing that happened to Ash was reuniting with his Pidgeot. No reunion with his dad, no catching recurring Latias, no reunion with his Primeape, nothing. Team Rocket finally getting off his back would be nice. Jessie, James, and Meowth would be nice people, have jobs as scientists, and become respected and not increase crime rate wherever Ash and Pikachu goes
The mispronunciation of Butch makes me laugh. The rocket gang being in the Alolan league was a great change of pace. The gang is significantly stronger than the entirety of Team Rocket's organization, and they kept proving it. Hell, they were absolutely at their strongest in Alola. Whoever their replacements are in the new series have some hellishly huge boots to fill.
The battle between Team Rocket and Ash, May, and Brock in "Do I Hear A Ralts?" was iconic too! I think Team Rocket actually defeated them in that battle iirc. 😂
Yeah everyone was randomly clever in that faceoff. The twerps seen through Team Rocket's disguise, Ash even exposing Meowth a clever way by scanning him with his Pokedex, and then Team Rocket bring out ALL their Pokemon and use all their signature moves strategically. Oh, and James ducks away from Cacnea glomping him. XD
I was wondering when are they going to upload something Team Rocket related like, "Top 10/20 Stupidest Team Rocket Moments" or "Top 10/20 Times Team Rocket Almost Won"
The battle with James and Venusaur vs. Ash and Cyndaquil in the Johto episodes was a really good one. It showcased James' prowess as a grass pokemon trainer really well and it was great to see. So seeing James get himself a grass pokemon every gen was a nice nod to that.
Not actually a fan of them but I'm still interested in them. They're funny, sometimes skillful in their plans and the moments of them with their Pokemon are really wholesome and emotional. Three of them with Ash and Pikachu are iconic in Pokemon anime a long time. Gonna miss them all
I always actually liked Team Rocket more than Ash, Misty and Brock. They had some interesting back stories and I know they were criminals but they were lovable/incompetent criminals.
What? Lickitungs first battle is not shown? It is one of the best fights, fair and square, and so nice to see Pikachu getting kicked in the ass with so much ease. :D
I don’t know what the new series is going to do now that team rocket won’t be around. Scarlet and Violet didn’t really have an actual villainous team for players to contend with.
Hey, WatchMojo. How about you guys do a list of the Top 20 Cutest Pokemon? I can give you a couple examples of these cute pokemon you must mention. Examples: Eevee Jigglypuff Oshawott Emolga Piplup Togepi Dedenne Teddiursa Pichu Cubchoo Skitty Pachirisu What do you think? Please do this list, WatchMojo!
You forgot to mention Team Rocket's seriousness and their menacing one up wins against the team on Pokémon: Black & White like the time when Meowth tricks Ash, Cilian and Iris believing he was on their side until he actually stolen all the Pokemon from the center. Plus Jesse andJames had awesome escape plan instead of blasting off.
Wow someone requested and we got it.. can we get another team rocket best moments, coz jessie actually nailed in kalos queen semis and also the post team flare episode and dustox farewell episode, and the black and white episodes till the plan failed to get tornadus thundurus and landorus
Huh I thought there would have been Jessie’s time in Kalos during the showcases. And what about the times they worked with Looker against Galactic and Plasma? And against Team Skull, Magma, Aqua, and Flare?
I have a soft spot for the Meowth vs Pikachu one shot battle in the Pokeball factory episode, simply because it's the ONE TIME EVER that Meowth fought Pikachu and got in some damage.
Do now the the top 20 funniest Pokemon Running Gags, Like Victreebel eating James or Jessie's Wobbuffet popping out of nowhere from his pokeball. Or Ash's Gible accidentally hitting Piplup with his Draco Meteor. 😂😂😂😂
I can't remember which season but there were a few episodes Jessie & James were actually Formidable. Of course they weren't trying to catch Pikachu in those either.
every time i see/hear season 1 of pokemon i cringe from how im reminded how old ive gotten when the anime came to America i was only a month and 1 day old
Team Rocket was only chasing after Pikachu because they refused to admit that they lost to just a regular Pikachu. NOTHING WILL GET ME TO CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT THIS!
The irony is that by the end of the series and constantly setting up schemes where Pikachu buffed up, they actually ended up making themselves RIGHT about him. Pikachu is taking out LEGENDARIES by the later series. Most of the supporting characters even talk about his 'unusual power' the same way Team Rocket did originally.
another highlight battle for these guys was when they saved the wobuffett festival symbol when those crooks were destroying it and sure they tried to steal the food from those same people but it’s the thought that counts
Jessie's Yanmega is deffinetly a honorable mention it almost sent Ash and company blasting off. It sucks it we get team rocket renuited their team earlier in aim to be a pokemon master would have been so fun to see how they utilized their full teams.
They were really good in ghost train episodes of black and white. The whole meowth changing sides led up to that even thought it was predictable it was fun to watch how their plan worked in the part1 episode.
Nothing for 'Fury Swipes of Love' in Diamond and Pearl series? Or the random intense as hell battle they put up in 'Do I Hear a Ralts'? Or a large amount of their Black and White face offs?
PLEASE make a video focusing on Serena. She’s my favorite character in Pokémon and she deserves to have a video focused on her. I’m really upset that the Pokémon anime ended without Ash and Serena growing up and getting married and fans of AshxMisty REALLY piss me off!
Some honourary mentions: Ash and James vs Jessie May and Jessie vs Ash and James (and his infamous quote about sending women back to the stone-ages) James disguised as Jessie vs Dawn Team Rocket and most of their entire team vs Ash, Misty, Brock and Latias Team Rocket saving Ash and N from Team Plasma James, Inkay and a croissant vs an evil Malamar
