As one Grunt says early on, they're not out to take over the world or anything, they just want money.

Even moreso, when their boss turns out to be in cahoots with the even more evil Aether Foundation.

Dark Is Evil: They wear all-black outfits, and are shown to steal Pokémon and commit petty crimes throughout Alola.

Curtains Match the Windows: Pink hair and eyes for female grunts and bright blue hair and eyes for male grunts.

Criminal Found Family: Not that they're great at being criminals, but Plumeria certainly seems to see them as a great big family.

They both exploit Pokémon for profit, but while Team Rocket's ultimate goal is world domination, Team Skull's members turned to crime just to survive. They're both criminal organizations, but while Team Rocket is The Mafia and mainly operate underground, Team Skull are Gangbangers who work out in the open. Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To Team Rocket.
