During the race, James competed fairly with his Mime Jr. James defies this trope in "Off the Unbeaten Path" where he participated in an orienteering race.The Rockets get three of them and a huge lead, easily enough to escape - but Jessie insists on going back for the fourth one, resulting in their capture and arrest. In one episode, they planned to steal a set of four Eevee evolutions, each one individually extremely valuable. This always ends up leading to the Rockets losing and getting blasted off again. Quite often, they'll try and steal Ash's Pikachu even if they already have a chance to get away with some rare Pokémon, valuable object, or priceless treasure. But they just can't help themselves but try to cheat or go for the bigger prize when they already have a lead or a chance to escape. It's shown that Jessie, James, and Meowth are surprisingly competent when they're not trying to be greedy jerks, and are generally better people than the "twerps" often fight. In Pokémon, the Terrible Trio of Team Rocket almost always falls victim to this whenever they get ahead, legitimately or otherwise.
