Team Plasma

Team Plasma (Japanese:  Plasma-dan, literally Plasma Gang) is the villainous team in Unova. Team Plasma's original goal was to "liberate" all Pokémon from their trainers, by either convincing the trainer to release their Pokémon, or by theft. Ghetsis, one of Team Plasma's leaders, exploited the group in an attempt to rule Unova as the only one with Pokémon.

Two years after Team Plasma's defeat, the group returned with a new goal to rule Unova. A small group from the original Team Plasma was still loyal to N, and took it upon themselves to take care of weakened Pokémon in the wild.  Team Plasma/In the TCG|TCG
