Rubber Gloves

Rubber Gloves — Team Rocket's gadgets.

The Beginning
In S1E8, The Path to the Pokémon League, they appeared planning an "operation" to steal the Pikachu from AJ's Gym checking new equipment, rubber gloves and big ball, Meowth also promised the new "motto", but it was rejected. Later they got into AJ's Gym, hiding in the ball, stole Sandshrew with gloves thinking it's Pikachu, put it into the bag and escaped, throwing the ball away. After the long way they stopped and started to cuss about who should carry the bag when Sandshrew escaped the bag to the AJ's Gym using Dig, accidently taking Meowth with it.
