Recurring arsenal

Team Rocket's Meowth balloon

The balloon in the XY series

The Meowth balloon has often been Team Rocket's main mode of transportation, first used in Pokémon Emergency!. It can be given many attachments including rockets, vacuums, nets, fists and cages. The balloon has been changed on certain occasions as well. It was changed to other Pokémon, such as Wobbuffet or Gliscor, and even items, as in a Poké Ball. It appeared regularly until the Best Wishes series. They later start using it again in New Places... Familiar Faces!, where it is redesigned; the new design incorporates a blue basket with the new Team Rocket logo and a pair of engines on it, plus a new Meowth portion with no arm and a larger engine on its back. It was redesigned again for the XY series with two arms on the balloon and propeller engines on the basket.

Team Rocket's submarines

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.

Powered by pedaling, the Magikarp submarine serves as underwater transportation, has arms that can be extended, and legs that can also be extended on land. Its weapons include nets (once to capture Cresselia), extendable fists and missiles. This submarine was often used by Team Rocket as an alternative mode of transportation while they were pursuing Ash and Pikachu in the Orange Archipelago, especially since its debut in Fit to be Tide!.

Occasionally during the Kanto arc, a Gyarados-based submarine was used. Much like the Magikarp submarine, it is powered by pedaling and is equipped with a net launcher, extendable arms, wheels, and a suction cup. Its first Japanese appearance was in Beauty and the Beach, while the English debut came in Sparks Fly For Magnemite. The latter episode also featured a small red submarine used by Meowth.

During the Decolore Islands arc, Team Rocket used an updated Basculin submarine designed by Dr. Zager.

The Magikarp Submarine returned in XY022. The only significant change to its design is that its barbels can now be used as extendable arms.

Team Rocket's Dr. Namba operates from a large underwater base in the Whirl Islands during the Lugia arc. This base can submerge and resurface like a submarine. In the same arc, Cassidy and Butch use a normal-looking submarine but with attachments such as a dais, nets, and claws.

Drone

The drone mecha spying on Ash and his friends in Coming Back Into the Cold!.

Team Rocket owns a special drone that they have used in New Places - Familiar Faces! and Coming Back Into the Cold!. It can fly around with a propeller and is equipped with a small video camera that syncs to a screen on the Meowth Balloon, as well as a video recorder to track sound from its surroundings. Team Rocket occasionally uses this device to spy on Ash and his friends whenever they can't directly sneak up on and eavesdrop on their conversations.
