Latest revision as of 11:00, 16 September 2024
Jessie, James, and Meowth, like other Team Rocket members, often use a variety of disguises in order to carry out their schemes. The obvious and bizarre costumes serve as a running gag in the anime, where Ash and his friends usually fail to recognize Team Rocket until it is too late.
Jessie, James, and Meowth
Original series
Kanto
Disguise | Episode | Description |
---|---|---|
Electric Shock Showdown | Jessie, James, and Meowth appeared in black Ōendan outfits, complete with hats, black shades, and a flag emblazoned with an R. Jessie's outfit has a blue undershirt, James's is red, and Meowth's is green. Misty saw through their disguises and thanked them for their support, much to their surprise. This disguise reappears in The Problem with Paras and in Princess vs. Princess. | |
Battle Aboard the St. Anne | Jessie and James both appeared in ganguro styles, infamous for having dark tans and bright makeup. Their outfits included black shoes, short skirts, and James wearing a blonde wig that somewhat resembles his regular hairdo, and Jessie an orange one similar to her hairstyle, making this the first time James dresses like a woman in the series. | |
Jessie and James later posed as waiters on the St. Anne alongside other Team Rocket Grunts to help support Giovanni's plan to steal all of the Pokémon belonging to the Trainers aboard the ship. | ||
Beauty and the Beach | Jessie and James both donned swimsuits to enter the Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest, and James wore an inflatable bodysuit giving him large breasts to give him a more feminine appearance. James's disguise is notable for causing the initial ban of this episode in the United States. | |
Abra and the Psychic Showdown | Jessie and James wore hula girls outfits complete with lei necklaces, green grass skirts, and wigs. They greeted Ash and his friends as they entered Saffron City, and whisked them away to a building to collect their prize for being the millionth visitor to the city. | |
Pokémon Scent-Sation | Jessie and James disguised themselves as "Ashley's" parents, with Jessie wearing a pink kimono robe and glasses and her hair tied up in a bun on top, and James wearing a bald cap, a fake nose and glasses with Meowth hidden under his shirt to simulate a belly | |
Pokémon Fashion Flash | Jessie and James disguised themselves as fashion artists. Jessie wore a black top and a red slit skirt, while James wears a long black coat and red slacks. Both also wear glasses. Meowth simply wears a blue jacket with a yellow undershirt, serving as the cashier for Salon Roquét.
Jessie and James reused these outfits in All Things Bright and Beautifly! and Win, Lose or Drew!. Jessie would again reuse this outfit for the Lilycove Pokémon Contest in Pokéblock, Stock and Berry and Lessons in Lilycove. | |
Jessie and James cross-dressed in a fashion similar to that of the manga The Rose of Versailles. They reused these outfits in I Feel Skitty!. Also, in The Bicker the Better, the Young Couple Oscar and Andi wear the same outfits. | ||
The Punchy Pokémon | Jessie, James, and Meowth stole Giant’s clothes and Hitmonlee to enter the P1 Grand Prix. | |
The Ninja Poké-Showdown | Jessie and James interrupted Ash's Fuchsia Gym match while dressed in kabuki costumes. | |
Showdown at Dark City | Jessie, James, and Meowth appeared wearing Japanese scarves and coats upon entering the restaurant to pose as Kaz Gym bodyguards. | |
The Song of Jigglypuff | Jessie and James both disguised themselves as punk rockers, complete with leather jackets, pierced ears, wild wigs and the like, when they let our heroes use a stage to let Jigglypuff Sing.
They reused these costumes in A Breed Stampede! and Fighting Ire with Fire! | |
Holy Matrimony! | Jessie and Meowth wore black "invisible" costumes and pushed James into his parents' estate as Jessie tried to imitate James's voice to collect the will. James's parents were not fooled, but played along as long as they saw fit.
Meowth wore the "invisible" costume again in Ready, Willing, and Sableye. The "invisible" costumes were reused by all three in the two-part Ash versus Paul battle arc, Pedal to the Meddle and Evolving Strategies. | |
Who Gets to Keep Togepi? | Jessie and James posed as female Egg-sellers with old-fashioned dresses, bonnets, and baskets full of fake Pokémon Eggs in an attempt to steal the Togepi Egg. | |
The Purr-fect Hero | Jessie and James performed a fake magic act for the schoolchildren, with Jessie wearing a magician's tuxedo, top hat, and glasses, and James wearing a pink dress and disguised as the lovely assistant. | |
The Case of the K-9 Caper | Jessie and James disguised themselves as Officer Jenny while using a voice-changing megaphone to imitate other characters, such Ash and Misty.
The trio reused these outfits in Losing Its Lustrous! and Double Team Turnover!. | |
Pokémon Paparazzi | Jessie and James posed as an elderly couple, complete with gray wigs and old-fashioned clothes. Jessie wore glasses and James had a fake mustache.
Jessie reused the disguise in Beauty is Skin Deep. | |
The Ultimate Test | Jessie and James entered the Pokémon League test in disguise. Jessie wore a gray woman's business outfit, black skirt, glasses with her hair in braids and black Mary Jane shoes, while James also had glasses, along with a blue suit. This was also one of the few times where one of the duo didn't recognize the other in disguise, James didn't recognize Jessie until after she took off her glasses. | |
The Misty Mermaid | The trio wore Swan Lake-inspired costumes and performed in the Cerulean Gym's Underwater Ballet show. Jessie dressed as a prince, while James was in a pink tutu and Meowth had a swan float ring around his waist.
