Prepare for trouble, and make it double! The Jesse and James Pokemon GO debut has finally arrived, bringing two fan-favorite franchise villains to the augmented reality smash hit for everyone to fight!

Check out the Jesse and James Pokemon GO trailer to see their cool new models in motion!

If you don't know who these two bad guys are, then you missed out on some of the most hilarious bad guys in recent cartoon history. Jesse and James are a team of Team Rocket members who continually attempt to steal Ash Ketchum's Pikachu. They even manage to succeed a few times, but they never quite manage to hold on to the adorable yellow rat.

Now, these two troublemakers are debuting in Pokemon GO, and that's not all — dataminers have discovered that you'll be able to get your hands on your very own Team Rocket outfits in the shop!\
