* RunningGagged: This thus far exists as the final case in the show where Meowth plays FakeDefector when stuck with the twerps. The latter repeatedly exchange dry skeptism and Lampshading over past ordeals, and the episode actually ends with them preemptively double crossing ''him'' to the Pangoro when it becomes blindingly obvious he's up to no good again, making it clear Meowth has dug this scheme into the ground by now [[GullibleLemmings even for their standard]].

!!Japanese Title: The Worst Luck? Eureka VS Nyarth!!
!!!Original Airdate: May 7, 2015
!!!US Airdate: July 11, 2015

The twerps and Team Rocket scatter when they are attacked by several Pangoro, and they end up in six atypical groups trying to get back together, and find out why the Pangoro are on the rampage in the first place.

!! This episode contains examples of the following tropes:


Added DiffLines:

* PartyScattering: Here's how the twerps and Team Rocket are split up:
** The (Japanese) title group: Bonnie, Dedenne, and Meowth
** Ash only has Pancham with him
** Serena has Frogadier and Chespin with her
** Clemont has Pikachu, Bunnelby, and Braixen
** Jessie and James are stuck without Meowth
** Luxray, Hawlucha, and Fletchinder are alone with no trainers

* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Once more, as if we aren't clear already: Meowth and Bonnie have to look out for each other since they're stuck together, and Meowth gets the brunt of all the suffering. At one point, Meowth was struggling to carry her around when Bonnie got knocked out. One of the most iconic scenes of the episode is Meowth shouting at Bonnie in frustration while she looks away with a face that's painfully obvious she was trolling him.



* EmpathyPet: Clemont whips up an invention to try to find Ash, Serena and Bonnie. With only Pikachu and Braixen with him (along with his own Bunnelby), the pokémon act like their respective masters would: Bunnelby watches intently, Pikachu geeks out, while Braixen looks skeptical.
