Test Your Knowledge of Team Rocket’s History in the Pokémon TCG with This Quiz

With the return of these villains in the Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals expansion, we look back at their past Pokémon TCG appearances.

This nefarious group has made occasional appearances in the game since its earliest days, and they’re set to return once again in the new Scarlet & Violet—Destined Rivals expansion, which launches on May 30, 2025. To commemorate the occasion, we’ve put together a quiz that looks back through this villainous organization’s history in the Pokémon TCG.

0–3 points: You’re a Team Rocket Trainee! You clearly have the heart to be a villain, but you still need to brush up on your history. Study hard and try again.

4–7 points: You’re a Team Rocket Grunt! You might be prepared to cause trouble, but there’s always room for improvement. Evil improvement.

8–11 points: You’re a Team Rocket Admin! There are few more fearsome than you. Just a little more work and you’ll reach the top.

12–13 points: You’re a Team Rocket Boss! Pokémon Trainers should tremble when they hear your name. You’re obviously very good at being very bad.
