Expendible (Ex): Team Rocket Grunts are so useless as to be spent like a resource half the time. Instead of having Feats, the Grunt just gains a Competence Bonus on Intimidate checks. This is equal to the number of Feats he would normally have. Additionally, all of his Pokemon add this number as a Circumstance Bonus to their Attack and Damage rolls while the Grunt is conscious.
Train Pokemon (Ex): Every Team Rocket Grunt has a single pokemon to control - until fifth level, where they have two. At level 1, it must have a CR of 1/2 or less. At levels 2-3 it must have a CR of 1. After that, the CR of the Pokemon must be 2 less than his level. The second Pokemon has a CR equal to that of the first minus 1, so a level 5 Grunt has a CR 3 Pokemon and a CR 2 Pokemon and is nominally a CR 4-5 challenge in total, give or take.
Element of Surprise (Ex): Team Rocket Grunts gain a +1 Bonus to Initiative and Hide checks at second level. At level four, this increases to +2. Their Pokemon also gain this bonus.
Gang Up (Ex): Starting at level three, Team Rocket Grunts, don't have to be adjacent to or in reach of someone they Aid - they can make Aid Other actions out to Line of Sight. Additionally, all of their Pokemon count as flanking any target they are adjacent to, so if they stand next to each other and attack the same target, it still counts as flanking.
Team Rocket Grunts almost always choose from amongst the following: Zubat, Magnemite, Grimer, Ekans, Voltorb.

Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): At second level, the Team Rocket Executive gains the ability to cast Steal Summons with an Immediate Action at will. At third level, he can cast Disguise Self at will, and at level six, he can cast Invisibility Sphere twice per day. Any Save DC is Charisma-based or Intelligence-based, his choice.

In order to make a place a valid target, he must spend at least one full day there without engaging in combat or being otherwise threatened.
Hop To It! (Ex): The ninth-level Team Rocket Executive grants all of his Pokemon Me First! as a Bonus Feat.
Like a Bauss (Ex): At level ten, the Team Rocket Executive is a boss - he leads his own division of Team Rocket, and thus gains followers (Warriors and Team Rocket Grunts) of his own and a base. He is expected to then plan various operations and unrealistic goals and engage in quirky activities that are often foiled by plucky heroes. He also gains the secret Technical Machine for Fissure, allowing all of his Pokemon to cast Abyssal Rift once each per hour, with the damage increased to 1d6 per hit dice and all being a [Ground] effect..
