In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Team Rainbow Rocket first appears during the Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon post-game when the organization takes over Festival Plaza and turns it into their virtual base. With the help of Sophocles, the player drives Team Rainbow Rocket out of the plaza. However, immediately afterwards, the organization takes over Aether Paradise with the help of Faba, who sides with Team Rainbow Rocket in an attempt to further his own career, transforming Lusamine's mansion into Team Rocket's Castle and taking the Aether Foundation president hostage. This starts Episode RR.

After defeating the traitorous Faba with the help of Lillie, the player starts infiltrating Team Rocket's Castle. During their infiltration, the player encounters villainous team leaders whom Team Rainbow Rocket has summoned from alternate worlds where they had succeeded in their goals via Ultra Wormholes. Each of these leaders wields a Legendary Pokémon they managed to catch while fulfilling their plans. The player battles and defeats these leaders one by one, each providing them with a method to continue further into the castle. Finally, the player comes face to face with Team Rainbow Rocket's leader, Giovanni, who reveals that Team Rainbow Rocket took over Aether Foundation in order to access their research data and technology on other worlds, with the intention of building themselves an army of Ultra Beasts. After the player beats Giovanni, he will accept his defeat and leave, allowing Colress to restore the mansion to its original state and also send everyone back to their original worlds. As punishment for his treachery, Faba is demoted to Intern.

Afterwards, Giovanni is seen teleporting to another world, intending to continue his evil schemes in a different reality.
