Has Team Rocket ever ended up with one of Ash's Pokemon at the end of an episode?

Question

Has Team Rocket ever stolen one of Ash's Pokemon and kept it until the next episode?

Answer 1

To my memory, there was one instance where that happened and it was in Unova.

When Ash & co. - including Meowth, who pretended to have left Team Rocket - visited Nimbasa, Team Rocket managed to capture all of their Pokemon (Ash, Iris & Cilan), including a lot of other Pokemon from the Pokemon centre as well.

They were rescued afterwards with help from the Subway Masters.

Black & White episodes - last 2 episodes on this list.

So technically, they have never ended up ACTUALLY getting a Pokémon to give their boss.

They got Togepi once, but the boss didn't want it.

Not any of Ash's pokemon, but they did send a Yanma to Giovanni as well, but he sent it back to them, where it evolve into Jessie's Yanmega in Sinnoh

Now that I remember, there was Togepi, but the only good thing about it is it would make a "nice paperweight."
