[[folder:Tropes that apply to all or most teams]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Higher-ups tend to be more than a step-up compared to the average Grunts, with the Leaders being the toughest of them all with a tendency towards mixed typing.
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Multiple villain teams have schemes that involve stealing Pokémon, exploiting them for profit, or trying to harness the power of the region's legendary for their EvilPlan. That said, many of the villainous team leaders have a Crobat on their team, which can only evolve through friendship. Maxie, Archie, and Lysandre can also Mega Evolve their Camerupt, Sharpedo, and Gyarados respectively, which requires a strong bond between the Trainer and the Pokémon to work.
* BatOutOfHell: Grunts of any team will frequently have a batlike Pokémon on hand. Crobat is often used as a method of showing that [[MoralityPet they're not all bad]], because [[ThePowerOfFriendship Golbat can only evolve into Crobat if it shares a deep personal friendship bond with it's trainer.]]
* CatsAreMean: They frequently have the region's resident cat on hand. Particularly noteworthy ones include Glameow, Purrloin and, [[UrExample of course]], Meowth.[[note]]that's right![[/note]]
* ChestInsignia: All of their standard uniforms have their symbol on the chest.
* DarkIsEvil: Grunts in most teams seem to favor Dark types. Justified in ''Sword and Shield'', where Team Yell is [[spoiler:a group of Trainers from the Dark-type Gym]] -- but then again, [[spoiler:they're not evil, just obnoxious]].
* TheDogBitesBack: Starting in Gen III, the villainous teams often try to take control of Legendary Pokémon to exploit their powers. It never goes well for them and almost inevitably backfires (with Team Plasma being the only ones to successfully exploit a legendary...twice, actually). This is most prominent in ''X'' and ''Y'', where once you rescue Xerneas/Yveltal from Team Flare, the game gives you to the chance to switch it into your team so you can use it against Lysandre.
* HighlyConspicuousUniform: Their outfits tend to be pretty loud.
* {{Mooks}}: Perhaps the most notable feature of the teams' grunts is that they are the only trainer class not to be given individual names. ''Sun and Moon'' even makes jokes about how everyone in Team Skull is named "Grunt".
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Team Rocket, Team Plasma's leadership, and Team Flare's grunts fall under this category; Team Galactic also went in this direction very briefly when they were under Charon's leadership. Team Skull also desires money, but this is only a secondary goal and they're really in it for family bonds with each other and respect from everyone else.
* PetTheDog: Many Team Admins and Bosses tend to have a Crobat in their team. Crobats can only evolve from Golbats that have max friendship with their trainers. Though they could have stolen them, gotten them through trades, or otherwise acquired them without expressing care for them. In the Gen VI games, Lysandre, Maxie and Archie gain the ability to Mega Evolve one of their Pokémon, something they could only do if they shared a strong bond with them.
* PoisonIsEvil: Poison-types are a common choice for grunts in all teams.
* PrimaryColorChampion: Teams Rocket, Galactic, Plasma, and Skull provide villainous inversions; as while the player characters in all games wear primary colors, these Teams favor blacks, whites, and greys in contrast.
* RecurringElement: Regardless of the Team, there are three RecurringElement Pokémon its minions will almost always favor: The region's early game mammal/rodent (Raticate, Patrat, Yungoos, etc.), the region's annoying bat (Zubat, Woobat, etc.) and the region's cat (Meowth, Purrloin, Glameow, etc.)
* SignatureMon: While there is some regional variation, it is telling that ''every single team'' based in a region with the Zubat line in its regional Pokédex uses them. (The outliers being Team Yell and the ''Black 1 and White 1'' version of Team Plasma.)
* StealthPun: Several teams' Japanese names are rendered as "[X]-dan" ("dan" translating to "Team"), which can also be read as "bullet". For example, "Rocket-dan" can be "rocket bullet".
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Hoo boy. While one can be excused for not doing their job when their Pokemon are disabled, every single team without fail is limited by [[PoorPredictableRock the types or groups of Pokemon available to them]] [[labelnote:spoiler]]Team Yell are exempt due to being Spikeburg Gym Trainers in actuality, and the Aether Foundation defies this for the most part[[/labelnote]], fall victim to the tripwire mentality [[note]]They are only able to detect trainers who are in a straight line in front of them outside of cutscenes[[/note]] and tend to not take valuable items like keycards with them when they're defeated.
* ThemeNaming: Applied to several characters, with each team having a different theme.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's difficult to talk about the teams and their leaders, especially in later generations, without hitting something significantly spoileriffic.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Teams Aqua, Magma, Galactic, Plasma, and the leaders of Team Flare are all aiming to do what they think is best for the world. Well, Plasma's leaders ''claim'' to, but many of the grunts buy into it. Team Yell's goal is smaller ([[spoiler:supporting a friend and trying to bring promotion for their hometown that needs help]]), but they still take things too far.
* YouDirtyRat: You can pretty much always assume that the villain team of any given region will have that region's ComMon mammal, which is usually some sort of rodent.
