Team Rocket is in the movie for spans of about five minutes at a time with absolutely no purpose.watch the preview of the Pokémon Baccer World Cup in the movie's prologue, the announcer briefly mentions that Kodai's team is called the Nimbasa Legends, in reference to Nimbasa City in the then-upcoming Unova region. Break the Cutie: Zorua towards the end.He doesn't hold up his part of the deal at all. Blackmail: Kodai forces Zoroark to wreak havoc among the citizens of Crown City in exchange for Zorua's safety.Big Friendly Hyena: The Mightyena that Karl's grandpa owns.When both Zorua and Celebi have been taken down by Kodai, they're saved by Pikachu and Piplup, who are then set on by Goone's Scizor and end up being rescued by Togekiss and the rest of Ash's group.Dawn and Bronzor (and Brock, though he doesn't do anything) show up in time to save Ash from Kodai's Mismagius and then defeat it.Her last one comes when she arrives at the stadium just in time to stop Kodai from absorbing the Time Ripple though at first it seems to be a subversion, as he stops her by holding Zorua hostage, it is Double Subverted when she traps him in an illusion and sets off his Humiliation Conga (in the film) or Disney Villain Death (in the manga adaptation). The last two belong to Zoroark, who arrives just in time to save an extremely outnumbered Dawn and Brock from Goon, Kodai's Dragon, and take him out. Later, Kodai finally catches up with him and Celebi and Zorua, despite his best attempts, is powerless to stop him, but thankfully Ash and company arrive in time to rescue them.

Next, he, Piplup, and Pikachu end up cornered by another, more varied mob of Pokémon, but Celebi flies in and smooths things out. First in the opening scene, Zorua finds himself cornered against a cliff by a mob of angry Vigoroth he accidentally angered while escaping from Kodai, but thankfully the group manage to arrive just in time to bail him out. In terms of evil, he's down there with Hunter J from the anime proper for being the most monstrous Pokémon antagonist ever. In reality, he's a greedy, sadistic blackmailer who's coercing Zoroark to attack the city by threatening to kill her baby.

Beneath the Mask: The Big Bad Grings Kodai tries to present himself as an honest rich businessman trying his 'honest best to stop the 'evil' Zoroark' from destroying Crown City.

It looks like the set of a Vagueness Is Coming moment, then two break out into smiles and tears of joy, talking about how it's been so long since the trees died (as a result of Kodai absorbing the Time Ripple) and Celebi's return means that the city's plant life is finally returning to normal. He looks stunned and asks if she's sure that Celebi is back after all of these years, with her nodding and crying. Bait-and-Switch: Early on is a scene of Karl's grandfather's best friend being stunned at Celebi returning to the city, and racing to tell him.He only lost that time because of Kodai's illusion canceller. He was also able to hold his own for a brief moment against Kodai's Shuppet and Mismagius by transforming into a Tangrowth.Turns out, he broke Kodai's illusion canceller in the process, setting the stage for the man's humiliating defeat. Despite that, he still ultimately ends up setting off Kodai's downfall by biting his wrist in their brief struggle.Unfortunately, he is very small and only knows one move, and hasn't actually been able to prove his worth yet. Badass Adorable: Zorua tries to be this, he really does.Once she gets going, it takes all three Legendary Beasts to even slow her down, and even then, she almost had them on the ropes when Ash and company broke up the fight. Accidental Pervert: Piplup the second time Zorua takes Dawn's form.Which is further complicated by the appearance of the real Legendary Beasts that have come to stop Zoroark. Ash takes it upon himself to return Zorua to Zoroark, and to find out just what it is that Grings Kodai is up to. At least until Ash finds out that Zoroark is Zorua's mother, and that she's only doing these things for Zorua's sake.
