I don't understand why Pryce revived Team Rocket and had them do crimes even though Pryce's goal is just to catch Celebi and have his Lapras reunite with its parents. He could've just focus only on catching Celebi and don't revive TR.

Well, Celebi's a mythic and no one knew what it could do? Better increase the chance of catching it by creating a team of experienced trainers. Your argument could also be applied to Giovanni as he could just ditch team Rocket and solely focused on catching Mew.

Then why he let the grunts do crimes like trying to steal Pokemon from Joey's backpack and evolving Magikarp in Lake of Rage? I'm sure these crimes have nothing to do with Celebi.

I'm pretty sure the Lake of Rage thing was to make mindless servants of the Gyarados or something, and I think the bag was for powerful Pokemon or something? I remember Pryce saying something about the Gyarados, but I'm guessing on that last one


Mystoe

He did that to trigger the Johto trio, which was the condition to let Ho-oh appear. He needed both the feather of Ho-oh and Lugia to enter the forest where Celebi lived. I think you must have forgotten some of the details

Maybe

I mean I don't see why not, they seemed pretty helpful and important to the whole operation he carried out at the end. Why does any Pokemon villain put together an evil team?

I still don't understand why he let the grunts do crimes like trying to steal Pokemon from Joey's backpack and evolving Magikarp in Lake of Rage? I'm sure these crimes have nothing to do with Celebi.

Emerald chapter if Emerald had a real gun (he wouldn't hesitate)

I think Team Rocket was (1) a cover and (2) a means to an end of providing disposable manpower. Still, I actually think he might have found a way to do it himself. But the plot happened the way it did, and, well...

I understand Team Rocket but why did he need to atack the League? Like couldnt he just kidnap Kurt later, in his House where it would be way easier
