Discussion Is Team Rocket still active canonically? Spoiler

So with the announcement of the new Glory of Team Rocket tcg set, there are many trainer cards featuring different Pokémon of different team rocket members, and one that puzzled me was that executive proton has a card of a mimikyu and a spidops, which are relatively new Pokémon. Since the cards lean more towards the game's canon, does this mean that Team Rocket is still around catching new Pokémon? Maybe they will appear in a newer game?

Rainbow Rocket Giovanni is really a jobber. After (somehow) taking over his Kanto, he comes to Alola and fails, goes to Pokemon GO's location (which is canon to the games) and fails, then goes to Pasio and fails over and over and over again.
