Team Rainbow Rocket

Team Rainbow Rocket is a team that appears in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. They include the leaders of the previous Villain Groups from the alternate universes where they succeeded in their goals. They came to the Alola region using the Ultra Wormhole technology.
==Story==
Using the Ultra Wormhole technology, Team Rainbow Rocket invaded the Festival Plaza, then the Aether Paradise to use its resources for their plans of universal domination. The player sees this happen on the news and is brought by Lillie to put a stop to them. Faba blocks them, hoping that allying with T.R.R. will get him a better position; however, the player takes him out and heads into the former mansion, which has been turned into T.R.R.'s castle. The Grunts attempt to stop the player, but Guzma holds them off. The player searches for a way to reach Giovanni, but runs into the villainous leaders of Ruby's Team Magma, Sapphire's Team Aqua, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum's Team Galactic and X/Y's Team Flare: Maxie, Archie, Cyrus and Lysandre. With the exception of Cyrus, who wanted to go to his new world without spirit, the other three leaders planned on making their deranged plans come true in this new world; however, the player stops them all.
At that point, with all their defeats, they vanish, thanks to Colress using the Ultra Wormhole energy to send them back to the worlds they came from. Upon trying to reach Giovanni again, the player is stopped by Ghetsis of Team Plasma, who believes Giovanni would be an easier pawn to manipulate over N (as unlike his son, Giovanni is consumed by evil and is easy to trick using his ego). However, Ghetsis is also dispatched by Colress and the player enters Giovanni's room. After his defeat, Giovanni relinquishes control and flees. Faba is demoted to an intern, and Giovanni begins planning a new scheme.
==History==
Team Rainbow Rocket is led by Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket, from a world where Team Rocket succeeded in taking over the world, because no one was there to stop their schemes in Kanto. With his new Team Rainbow Rocket Grunts, he traveled through different worlds gathering all of the leaders of evil organizations from worlds where they succeeded in their goals, including:
*Maxie, leader of Team Magma, from a world where he used the power of Groudon to increase the land mass of the planet.
*Archie, leader of Team Aqua, from a world where he used the power of Kyogre to increase the sea level of the planet.
*Cyrus, leader of Team Galactic, from a world that he recreated without emotion using the power of the Lake Guardians & Dialga/Palkia.
*Ghetsis, leader of Team Plasma and Seven Sages, from a world where he deceived the population into releasing their Pokémon, then conquered it using the power of Reshiram/Zekrom.
*Lysandre, leader of Team Flare, from a world where he used AZ's Ultimate Weapon, powered by Xerneas/Yveltal, to wipe out most of all life to keep the planet beautiful.
These evil team leaders, along with Faba of the Aether Foundation, join forces to conquer Alola and the rest of the Pokémon world.
==Trivia==
*Counting Faba among "past villains" on the team, there's exactly seven "leaders" representing seven teams. This matches the number of colors in the rainbow like in the team's name, with each villain representing a different color of the rainbow:
**Maxie represents the color red.
**Lysandre represents the color orange.
**Faba represents the color yellow.
**Ghetsis represents the color green.
**Cyrus represents the color blue.
**Archie represents the color indigo.
**Giovanni represents the color violet.
*The team is referred to as the original Team Rocket multiple times in game dialogue. 
*With the introduction of Team Rainbow Rocket, it's been officially confirmed the Pokémon reality has a multiverse. Counting the pairs of games as two separate universes and not counting any anime or manga, there's at least twenty of them.
**The current "main universe", where Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee!, HeartGold/SoulSilver, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, Black/White, Black 2/White 2, X/Y, Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, and Sword/Shield take place.
**The alternate Generation I Era: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen.
**The alternate Generation II Era: Gold, Silver, and Crystal.
**The alternate Generation III Era: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. These universes are the ones mentioned by Zinnia where Mega Evolution is unknown, the Kalos war never happened, and the Ultimate Weapon was never even built.
**The alternate Generation IV Era: Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
**The alternate Generation VII Era: Sun and Moon.
**A world where Team Rocket succeeded take over the world. 
**A world with expanded landmass where Team Magma succeeded.
**A world with expanded oceans where Team Aqua succeeded.
**A world destroyed and replaced by one without spirit by Team Galactic.
**A world where Team Plasma succeeded resulting in only Ghetsis having Pokémon.
**A world where only Team Flare is alive.
*Until Lysandre is reached, and if Cyrus is chosen before him, the leaders appear in the order of their games.
*Team Skull is the only introduced criminal gang which isn't part of the allied Team Rainbow Rocket, as the former gang had been reformed since the latter villainous team made its presence.
*The colors present on the Team Rainbow Rocket "R" logo match up with the first four mainline Pokémon games (Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue).
