Team Rocket's mechas

Team Rocket's mechas usually refers to mechas used by Jessie, James, and in one of their wild schemes. Throughout and its related , has had many robots and machines. It is unknown how they get them, since they usually have little money, and how they are transported to the location it is to be used at. Most of the time, the robots fail to accomplish their functions and are destroyed, some even before getting a chance to be used. They first appeared in the second episode of , Pokémon Emergency!, with the debut of the Meowth Balloon. One-time mechas began to appear from The Kangaskhan Kid.
Sometimes in Sinnoh, was referred to as the brain behind the trio's mechas. The nomenclature of some one-time mechas such as "Mark 2" or "Model 2" also seems to suggest that previous versions of those mechas were designed offscreen but failed.
