* DidNotThinkThisThrough: When the Rocket Prize Master machine doesn't work, Team Rocket ask Pelipper to fight Chloe...except Chloe has a Yamper, which is an ''Electric-type''. Needless to say, once Eevee joins with Copycat to mimic Yamper's Spark, Team Rocket is toast.

Needless to say, once Eevee joins with Copycat to mimic Yamper's Spark, Team Rocket is toast. Then, they forget that Pikachu can just ''jump'' out of the hole he and Ash are in, so an Iron Tail frees the captured Pokémon and Team Rocket is subject to another blasting off.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim:
** Team Rocket could've just used Wobbuffet to fight off against Chloe since he could've countered anything she sent their way instead of using the Pelipper who has ''double weakness'' to Spark, ensuring that there would be no way for Chloe to retaliate since her fighting skills are very limited compared to Ash and Goh's. {{Justified Trope}} as even Alola demonstrated that Jessie still doesn't know ''how'' Counter and Mirror Coat Work.
** On the same vein, there's nothing stopping ''Meowth'' from getting his claws dirty (after all, he wasn't afraid of making a little girl cry by slashing her Feebas in front of her). Instead, he stands there while Pelipper gets turned into a roast turkey.
** Ash could've intervened at any moment to free all the Pokemon from Team Rocket's net or toss Pikachu out of the pit to fight Pelipper. He decides to do both of these ''after'' Chloe fights them.
