Team Rocket, led by Giovanni, is a criminal syndicate known for stealing rare Pokémon and engaging in various nefarious schemes. Jessie, alongside James and their talking Meowth, is one of the most iconic and frequently appearing antagonists in the Pokémon anime, constantly attempting to capture Ash's Pikachu. Their bumbling yet persistent nature has made them memorable figures since the very first generation of Pokémon, which debuted in 1996 with the release of Pokémon Red and Blue. While they don't have a specific "habitat" in the traditional sense, they are omnipresent antagonists, appearing in nearly every region explored in the anime. Their "behavior" is consistently focused on their schemes, often involving elaborate contraptions and catchphrases. Their cultural significance extends beyond being mere villains; they provide comic relief and, at times, demonstrate surprisingly complex motivations. As human characters, they don't have a "type matchup" or "evolution line" in the game mechanics, but their presence is central to the narrative of the early Pokémon games and the enduring popularity of the anime.
