Team A.C.T. play a significant role in the games and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga. They were sent by Gengar to get Mudkip to safety from Ginji, and believed the rumors that Ginji was a cursed human being from Ninetales. That was all cleared up when Ninetales showed up. They helped out in battling Groudon, but to no avail, until help came from Absol.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Team A.C.T plays a role in the games as the team that is idolised by the player's partner and Pokémon Square onlookers and warns the player to go and escape after Gengar accuses him or her of being the human in the Ninetales' legend and the reason for the range of natural disasters that are occurring before he or she escapes into Lapis Cave, after the scene in Pokémon Square. They act as one of the many rescue teams pursuing the player and his/her partner into Mt. Blaze, Frosty Forest and Mt. Freeze. They also attempt to battle Groudon in Magma Cavern and Magma Cavern Pit, but to no avail. Only Alakazam makes it to see Groudon, but vanishes when the player finishes talking to him.
It is mentioned within the introduction of Team A.C.T. by the partner, that Charizard knows Flamethrower, and that when creating the Teleport Gem, Alakazam knows Teleport.
