* BadBoss: Varies between the higher ranked members. Some like to abuse their power, while others act as [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Reasonable Authority Figures.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Happens here and there on occasion. Interestingly, while certain characters are relatively comfortable with the knowledge that their lives are being controlled by their muns, others are visibly disturbed, or downright resentful of their writers.
* CanonFodder: The Grunts are typically referred to by this {{In Universe}} by [[Main/BadBoss Executive Proton.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: Though many of them are known for being [[AxCrazy violent]] and immoral, some of HQ's residents aren't actually bad people and others are just [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerks with a Heart of Gold]].
* DysfunctionJunction: HQ is basically the equivalent of a [[BigScrewedUpFamily crazy family]].
* EldritchLocation: HQ itself. There is something distinctly off about the building, and the fact that it can seemingly regenerate any damage from getting lit on fire- which happens often- is probably one of the least strange things about it.
* FaceHeelTurn: The premise involves characters in the Pokemon universe going through one of these and joining the villainous Team Rocket.
* FreudianExcuse: Many of HQ's members have these.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: Because they all quit.
* TimeTravelEpisode: Happened at one point. [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain No one likes to talk about it much.]]
* TortureCellar: Team Rocket has one in the form of a dungeon. It is referred to as the 'Fungeon' by many characters.

* VillainsOutShopping: Sometimes they go out to places like Walmart. Nine times out of ten it usually ends with everything on fire.

[[http://rockethq-rp.tumblr.com/ RocketHQ]] is a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' roleplay group situated on Tumblr that has been up and running for nearly two years and counting. The premise is simple: for whatever reason, various characters in the Pokemon world, both [[Main/FallenHero canon]] and [[Main/OriginalCharacter original]] have decided to join the villainous Team Rocket and take part in their nefarious deeds. Examples include burning down buildings, slaughtering innocents and [[Main/TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers raiding Olive Garden for it's delicious breadsticks.]]

* BadBoss: Varies between the higher ranked members. Some like to abuse their power, while others act as [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Reasonable Authority Figures.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Happens here and there on occasion. Interestingly, while certain characters are relatively comfortable with the knowledge that their lives are being controlled by their muns, others are visibly disturbed, or downright resentful of their writers.
* CanonFodder: The Grunts are typically referred to by this {{In Universe}} by [[Main/BadBoss Executive Proton.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: Though many of them are known for being [[AxCrazy violent]] and immoral, some of HQ's residents aren't actually bad people and others are just [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerks with a Heart of Gold]].
* DysfunctionJunction: HQ is basically the equivalent of a [[BigScrewedUpFamily crazy family]].
* EldritchLocation: HQ itself. There is something distinctly off about the building, and the fact that it can seemingly regenerate any damage from getting lit on fire- which happens often- is probably one of the least strange things about it.

* RedShirt: Any unnamed NPC Grunts typically don't have a very long lifespan.
* ResignationsNotAccepted: {{In Universe}} only. Once you join Team Rocket, it's nearly impossible to leave- and they will hunt you down to make sure you don't leak any important information.
