That's right. Somehow, the [[Goldfish Poop Gang]] won.

See also [[The Bad Guy Wins]] (which is an Ending Trope). Contrast [[Big Bad Wannabe]], which may at times overlap.

== Anime and Manga ==
* Team Rocket, the [[Trope Namer]] from ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', beat the crap out of Ash's Pokémon when they were allowed to run Viridian City's Gym using Giovanni's Pokémon, at least until Ash managed to regain momentum and beat them at their own game. There have been a few other instances where Team Rocket has been successful in battle, but it was because they were [[Redemption Promotion|trying to do something good for a change]]. Their victories never lasted too long, and they were often sent flying at the end of the episode anyway.
Line 54 ⟶ 56:
* In ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' story "Smart And Smarter" (Cartoon Network Block Party #59), Mojo Jojo outwits Blossom, with her sisters' blessings! Blossom (who let her ego swell after being admitted to a special school) blows her ice breath which Mojo counters with a heat shield. The trail of melted ice reaches Blossom's foot (which she doesn't see) and she emits static electricity from her hands which in turn fries her to a frazzle. The ending panel has Buttercup shaking hands with Mojo.
== Fan
* ''Magical Troubleshoting Fighting Federation'', a tournament with a crossover cast of various anime series, actually has Team Rocket win at least once, much to their own shock.
