'''Lida''' (Japanese: '''デウロ''' ''Duro'') is a [[friend]] character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a member of [[Team MZ]], which she joined in exchange for lodging. She is a dance school student who came to [[Lumiose City]] seeking to become a professional dancer.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Staryu}}, which later [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Starmie}}.

==In the core series games==

===History===
Lida is the younger half-sister of [[Tierno]], with the same father but different mothers, though she's never met him.<ref name=TiernoConfirmation/> She grew up in the [[Hoenn]] region.<ref name="Hoenn"/> Lida was inspired by her half-brother to become a professional dancer. She got a scholarship to a dance school in [[Lumiose City]], and initially lived in the city with a roommate. Her roommate signed on with a talent agency and moved out, leaving Lida worrying about how to pay her rent alone. It was then that Lida met [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who invited her to join [[Team MZ]], and [[AZ]] allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]].

During [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Main Mission 25: A Showdown on the Battle Court]], Lida is given a [[Mega Ring]] and a [[Starminite]] by AZ.

===Pokémon===
Lida keeps her Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

==Trivia==
* Lida's relation to [[Tierno]] is heavily implied before it was officially confirmed, through their many shared traits:
** They both possess a strong interest in dancing, their hairstyles feature dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands.
** Their partner Pokémon, {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Corphish}}, are {{t|Water}} [[type]]s that gain a secondary type upon evolving.
** Lida's {{p|Clawitzer}} could be seen as a counterpart to Tierno's {{p|Crawdaunt}}, as both are crustacean Pokémon.
** Their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender".
** Lida having the {{p|Vanillite}} line may refer to Tierno's shirt, which features a Vanillite.
** Lida's battle pose is the same one Tierno does in X and Y.
* The [[Lida's Things|small pouch]] that Lida uses to carry her items during dance practice was handmade by [[Naveen]].
* In Japanese, Lida speaks in the {{wp|Kagoshima dialect}} while sleeptalking, which is spoken in the {{wp|Kagoshima Prefecture}} in {{wp|Kyushu}}. This parallels the fact that she is from the [[Hoenn]] region, which is partly based on Kyushu.
** Lida's partner Pokémon is her Staryu, which in Hoenn can only be found in [[Lilycove City]]. Lilycove City's location in Hoenn corresponds to the Kagoshima Prefecture.
** In the traditional Chinese localization, she speaks in a variety of Chinese that resembles {{wp|Cantonese}} or {{wp|Hakka Chinese|Hakka}}. In the simplified Chinese localization, she speaks in {{wp|Sichuanese dialects|Sichuanese Mandarin}}.

'''Lida''' (Japanese: '''デウロ''' ''Duro'') is a [[friend]] character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a member of [[Team MZ]], which she joined in exchange for lodging. She is a dance school student who came to [[Lumiose City]] seeking to become a professional dancer.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Staryu}}, which later [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Starmie}}.

==In the core series games==

===History===
Lida is the younger half-sister of [[Tierno]], with the same father but different mothers, though she's never met him.<ref name=TiernoConfirmation/> She grew up in the [[Hoenn]] region.<ref name="Hoenn"/> Lida was inspired by her half-brother to become a professional dancer. She got a scholarship to a dance school in [[Lumiose City]], and initially lived in the city with a roommate. Her roommate signed on with a talent agency and moved out, leaving Lida worrying about how to pay her rent alone. It was then that Lida met [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who invited her to join [[Team MZ]], and [[AZ]] allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]].

During [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Main Mission 25: A Showdown on the Battle Court]], Lida is given a [[Mega Ring]] and a [[Starminite]] by AZ.

===Pokémon===
Lida keeps her Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

==Trivia==
* Lida's relation to [[Tierno]] is heavily implied before it was officially confirmed, through their many shared traits:
** They both possess a strong interest in dancing, their hairstyles feature dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands.
** Their partner Pokémon, {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Corphish}}, are {{t|Water}} [[type]]s that gain a secondary type upon evolving.
** Lida's {{p|Clawitzer}} could be seen as a counterpart to Tierno's {{p|Crawdaunt}}, as both are crustacean Pokémon.
** Their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender".
** Lida having the {{p|Vanillite}} line may refer to Tierno's shirt, which features a Vanillite.
** Lida's battle pose is the same one Tierno does in X and Y.
* The [[Lida's Things|small pouch]] that Lida uses to carry her items during dance practice was handmade by [[Naveen]].
* In Japanese, Lida speaks in the {{wp|Kagoshima dialect}} while sleeptalking, which is spoken in the {{wp|Kagoshima Prefecture}} in {{wp|Kyushu}}. This parallels the fact that she is from the [[Hoenn]] region, which is partly based on Kyushu.
** In the traditional Chinese localization, she speaks in a variety of Chinese that resembles {{wp|Cantonese}} or {{wp|Hakka Chinese|Hakka}}. In the simplified Chinese localization, she speaks in {{wp|Sichuanese dialects|Sichuanese Mandarin}}.

'''Commander Kamado''' (Japanese: '''デンボク''' ''Denboku'') is the boss of the [[Galaxy Team]]. He is an ancestor of [[Professor Rowan]].<ref name="ancestor"/>

==In the core series games==
Kamado makes his first appearance in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], where the {{player}} meets him in the [[Galaxy Hall]] after passing Captain [[Cyllene]]'s trial and becoming an official member of the Galaxy Expedition Team. He issues missions for the player to quell the frenzied [[Noble Pokémon|noble Pokémon]] of the [[Hisui]] [[region]] over the course of the game. He is cautious of the player's identity and intentions, reminding them that they are still a stranger who came from the space-time rift; despite this, he still acknowledges and respects the player's battling prowess as they complete his orders. When the space-time rift grows as a result of the player quelling all of the nobles, Kamado banishes them from the village, believing them to have some sort of connection to the rift and the lightning which agitated the nobles. He is later confronted and defeated by the player at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], where he concedes to the player and entrusts them with the task of properly dealing with {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}.

Kamado immigrated to Hisui from an unspecified region, after his and [[Beni]]'s hometown was burned down by maddened Pokémon. Kamado and Beni then came to Hisui, where he hoped to build a new home where people could live free from the fear of Pokémon. After experiencing the incident in his hometown, Kamado strives to protect the people he serves over, which often leads to him making rash, often dangerous decisions.

==Trivia==
* Kamado practices {{wp|sumo}} and is infamous for sumo throwing people.
* Kamado's mustache is reminiscent of those shown on menpō used by samurai. Such facial hair was historically associated with a warlike character.<ref>[https://mai-ko.com/travel/japanese-history/museum-notes/the-samurai-face-masks-men-yoroi-menpou/ Tea Ceremony Kyoto Museum] ''"The purpose of the mustache is to give it more natural look and also more war-like look. During the peaceful ego{{sic}} period all the men were asked to shave their beards because having a beard may mean the daimyos want to fight and want to revolt against the shogunate."''</ref>
* The suit of armor that Kamado wears while battling is highly similar to that of [[Wikstrom]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. Said armor is also stated to be from [[Galar]].
** Kamado's armor is on display at the [[Lumiose Museum]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. The description points out its similarity to Wikstrom's armor, and says that when asked about it Wikstrom said it was possibly something his ancestors gifted to Galarians long ago.
* A framed photograph on Kamado's office desk in the Galaxy Team HQ appears to depict him with an unidentified woman.
* In the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], when Kamado loses his composure, he speaks in the {{wp|Kansai dialect}}. The {{wp|Kansai region}} which that dialect comes from is the part of Japan which [[Johto]] is based on.
** In the Italian version, Kamado mentions the [[Whirl Islands]] and [[Mt. Silver]] by name.<ref>'''Soruan:''' ''"Cosa...? Dice che ne arriva un altro?! Per tutti i mulinelli delle [[Whirl Islands|Isole Vorticose]]! Ma la Catena rossa è ormai in pezzi! Affrontare un’altra lotta del genere sarebbe troppo persino per <Player>!"'' ({{pkmn|Legends: Arceus|Leggende Pokémon: Arceus}})</ref><ref>'''Soruan:''' ''"Malediz... <Player>! Ritirata, ho detto! O ti faccio fare un volo da qui al [[Mt. Silver|Monte Argento]]!"''

'''Commander Kamado''' (Japanese: '''デンボク''' ''Denboku'') is the boss of the [[Galaxy Team]]. He is an ancestor of [[Professor Rowan]].<ref name="ancestor"/>

==In the core series games==
Kamado makes his first appearance in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], where the {{player}} meets him in the [[Galaxy Hall]] after passing Captain [[Cyllene]]'s trial and becoming an official member of the Galaxy Expedition Team. He issues missions for the player to quell the frenzied [[Noble Pokémon|noble Pokémon]] of the [[Hisui]] [[region]] over the course of the game. He is cautious of the player's identity and intentions, reminding them that they are still a stranger who came from the space-time rift; despite this, he still acknowledges and respects the player's battling prowess as they complete his orders. When the space-time rift grows as a result of the player quelling all of the nobles, Kamado banishes them from the village, believing them to have some sort of connection to the rift and the lightning which agitated the nobles. He is later confronted and defeated by the player at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], where he concedes to the player and entrusts them with the task of properly dealing with {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}.

Kamado immigrated to Hisui from an unspecified region, after his and [[Beni]]'s hometown was burned down by maddened Pokémon. Kamado and Beni then came to Hisui, where he hoped to build a new home where people could live free from the fear of Pokémon. After experiencing the incident in his hometown, Kamado strives to protect the people he serves over, which often leads to him making rash, often dangerous decisions.

==Trivia==
* Kamado practices {{wp|sumo}} and is infamous for sumo throwing people.
* Kamado's mustache is reminiscent of those shown on menpō used by samurai. Such facial hair was historically associated with a warlike character.<ref>[https://mai-ko.com/travel/japanese-history/museum-notes/the-samurai-face-masks-men-yoroi-menpou/ Tea Ceremony Kyoto Museum] ''"The purpose of the mustache is to give it more natural look and also more war-like look. During the peaceful ego{{sic}} period all the men were asked to shave their beards because having a beard may mean the daimyos want to fight and want to revolt against the shogunate."''</ref>
* The suit of armor that Kamado wears while battling is highly similar to that of [[Wikstrom]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. Said armor is also stated to be from [[Galar]].
** Kamado's armor is on display at the [[Lumiose Museum]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. The description points out its similarity to Wikstrom's armor, and says that when asked about it Wikstrom said it was possibly something his ancestors gifted to Galarians long ago.
* A framed photograph on Kamado's office desk in the Galaxy Team HQ appears to depict him with an unidentified woman.
* In the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], when Kamado loses his composure, he speaks in the {{wp|Kansai daialect}}. The {{wp|Kansai region}} which that dialect comes from is the part of Japan which [[Johto]] is based on.
** In the Italian version, Kamado mentions the [[Whirl Islands]] and [[Mt. Silver]] by name.<ref>'''Soruan:''' ''"Cosa...? Dice che ne arriva un altro?! Per tutti i mulinelli delle [[Whirl Islands|Isole Vorticose]]! Ma la Catena rossa è ormai in pezzi! Affrontare un’altra lotta del genere sarebbe troppo persino per <Player>!"'' ({{pkmn|Legends: Arceus|Leggende Pokémon: Arceus}})</ref><ref>'''Soruan:''' ''"Malediz... <Player>! Ritirata, ho detto! O ti faccio fare un volo da qui al [[Mt. Silver|Monte Argento]]!"''

'''Tierno''' (Japanese: '''ティエルノ''' ''Tierno'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] of the {{player}} in {{g|X and Y}}.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Friends XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno with the player's other friends in Aquacorde Town]]
Tierno appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a friend of the player, to whom he gives the [[first partner Pokémon]] sent through him by [[Professor Sycamore]]. He is a dancer and his goal is to create a dance team with Pokémon and wants to find Pokémon with amazing moves. As such, the Pokémon in his party know "[[dance moves]]", such as {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Petal Dance}}.

Tierno is first met in [[Aquacorde Town]], where he delivers the player and two of their friends a [[first partner Pokémon]] on behalf of Professor Sycamore. He is then met at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Santalune City]], where he gives the player a minor tutorial on what is in the Pokémon Center.

Tierno is first battled on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, and then again on {{rt|7|Kalos}}, albeit this time with [[Trevor]]. Tierno is next met in [[Reflection Cave]], where he gives the player a TM containing {{m|Flash}}.

After the completion of the story line, Tierno can be found in [[Coumarine City]], asking to see a Pokémon knowing a randomly selected dance move each day, giving the player a [[Heart Scale]] if his request is fulfilled.

Tierno also appears as one of the player's partners in the [[Battle Maison]] when choosing Multi Battle.

Tierno does not appear in person in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, but an NPC mentions that he has traveled to [[Unova]] and is making waves as a dancer. It is also revealed in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC that [[Lida]] is his younger half-sister from another mother, though they've never met.

'''Lida''' (Japanese: '''デウロ''' ''Duro'') is a [[friend]] character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a member of [[Team MZ]], which she joined in exchange for lodging. She is a dance school student who came to [[Lumiose City]] seeking to become a professional dancer.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Staryu}}, which later [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Starmie}}.

==In the core series games==

===History===
Lida is the younger half-sister of [[Tierno]], with the same father but different mothers, though she's never met him.<ref>'''Lida:''' "Then there’s my brother—well, half brother. We’ve got different moms. [...] Well, I’ve never met him or talked to him...but his name’s [[Tierno]], and he’s a successful dancer." ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref> Lida was inspired by her half-brother to become a professional dancer. She got a scholarship to a dance school in [[Lumiose City]], and initially lived in the city with a roommate. Her roommate signed on with a talent agency and moved out, leaving Lida worrying about how to pay her rent alone. It was then that Lida met [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who invited her to join [[Team MZ]], and [[AZ]] allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]].

During [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Main Mission 25: A Showdown on the Battle Court]], Lida is given a [[Mega Ring]] and a [[Starminite]] by AZ.

===Pokémon===
Lida keeps her Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

==Trivia==
* Lida's relation to [[Tierno]] is heavily implied before it was officially confirmed, through their many shared traits:
** They both possess a strong interest in dancing, their hairstyles feature dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands.
** Their partner Pokémon, {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Corphish}}, are {{t|Water}} [[type]]s that gain a secondary type upon evolving.
** Lida's {{p|Clawitzer}} could be seen as a counterpart to Tierno's {{p|Crawdaunt}}, as both are crustacean Pokémon.
** Their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender".
** Lida having the {{p|Vanillite}} line may refer to Tierno's shirt, which features a Vanillite.
** Lida's battle pose is the same one Tierno does in X and Y.
* The [[Lida's Things|small pouch]] that Lida uses to carry her items during dance practice was handmade by [[Naveen]].
* In Japanese, Lida speaks in the {{wp|Kagoshima dialect}} while sleeptalking, which is spoken in the {{wp|Kagoshima Prefecture}} in {{wp|Kyushu}}. This parallels the fact that she is from the [[Hoenn]] region, which is partly based on Kyushu.
** In the traditional Chinese localization, she speaks in a variety of Chinese that resembles {{wp|Cantonese}} or {{wp|Hakka Chinese|Hakka}}. In the simplified Chinese localization, she speaks in {{wp|Sichuanese dialects|Sichuanese Mandarin}}.

'''Lida''' (Japanese: '''デウロ''' ''Duro'') is a [[friend]] character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a member of [[Team MZ]], which she joined in exchange for lodging. She is a dance school student who came to [[Lumiose City]] seeking to become a professional dancer.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Staryu}}, which later [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Starmie}}.

==In the core series games==

===History===
Lida is the younger half-sister of [[Tierno]], with the same father but different mothers, though she's never met him.<ref>'''Lida:''' "Then there’s my brother—well, half brother. We’ve got different moms. [...] Well, I’ve never met him or talked to him...but his name’s [[Tierno]], and he’s a successful dancer." ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref>
Lida was inspired by her half-brother to become a professional dancer. She got a scholarship to a dance school in [[Lumiose City]], and initially lived in the city with a roommate. Her roommate signed on with a talent agency and moved out, leaving Lida worrying about how to pay her rent alone. It was then that Lida met [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who invited her to join [[Team MZ]], and [[AZ]] allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]].

During [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Main Mission 25: A Showdown on the Battle Court]], Lida is given a [[Mega Ring]] and a [[Starminite]] by AZ.

===Pokémon===
Lida keeps her Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

==Trivia==
* Lida's relation to [[Tierno]] is heavily implied before it was officially confirmed, through their many shared traits:
** They both possess a strong interest in dancing, their hairstyles feature dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands.
** Their partner Pokémon, {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Corphish}}, are {{t|Water}} [[type]]s that gain a secondary type upon evolving.
** Lida's {{p|Clawitzer}} could be seen as a counterpart to Tierno's {{p|Crawdaunt}}, as both are crustacean Pokémon.
** Their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender".
** Lida having the {{p|Vanillite}} line may refer to Tierno's shirt, which features a Vanillite.
** Lida's battle pose is the same one Tierno does in X and Y.
* The [[Lida's Things|small pouch]] that Lida uses to carry her items during dance practice was handmade by [[Naveen]].
* In Japanese, Lida speaks in the {{wp|Kagoshima dialect}} while sleeptalking, which is spoken in the {{wp|Kagoshima Prefecture}} in {{wp|Kyushu}}. This parallels the fact that she is from the [[Hoenn]] region, which is partly based on Kyushu.
** In the traditional Chinese localization, she speaks in a variety of Chinese that resembles {{wp|Cantonese}} or {{wp|Hakka Chinese|Hakka}}. In the simplified Chinese localization, she speaks in {{wp|Sichuanese dialects|Sichuanese Mandarin}}.

'''Chimecho''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チリーン''' ''Chirean'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Chingling}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]].

Chimecho can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Chimecho''' using the [[Chimechite]]. Mega Chimecho was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Chimecho is a small, round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a mainly bluish-white body shaped like a fūrin {{wp|wind chime}}. It has beady, yellow eyes and three stubby limbs — two on its sides and one on its back. Its body has a horizontal {{wp|Amaranth (color)|amaranth}}-colored pattern. Underneath its body extends a long, tag-like tail that has amaranth patterning at the bottom. A yellow, globular growth, referred to as a ''suction cup'' or a ''sucker'', is connected to the top of its body, which it uses to hang from a tree branch or the eaves of a building.

Chimecho's body is hollow and allows sounds to echo inside. By amplifying the faint sound of wind inside its body, Chimecho can create ultrasonic sound waves and other noises, allowing it to startle and repel opponents. It uses seven different echoing cries to communicate with others. An omnivorous species, it eats Berries that it plucks with its tail and can knock out large prey using powerful waves of air. Chimecho is nocturnal and usually lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and woods, but some are found in mountainous regions. It flies by riding on winds and becomes more active during hot seasons.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Chimecho Sound Attack.png|left|thumb|Mega Chimecho using its sonic attacks]]
Chimecho can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Chimecho.

As Mega Chimecho, its suction cup expands in size and forms a {{p|Chingling}}-styled ornament behind it, consisting of its familiar golden color along with the accompanying large red and white tassels. Six smaller Chimecho-styled ornaments line the Chingling ornament's arms and cheeks. Starting from the outward ornaments, they are colored amaranth, blue, and green, though with a connecting cheek pattern and a more polygonal pattern on each tail.

Mega Chimecho's cries have a bright and refreshing tone that soothes the hearts of Trainers who hear them. These cries calm the souls of listeners and are said to have a cleansing power that wards off and purifies evil spirits.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/dlc | Mega Chimecho]</ref> Mega Chimecho can unleash powerful sound waves to disrupt its opponents' minds and break their spirits. Those hit by the attack will feel detached from reality and experience memory loss, sometimes losing track of what they were doing or who they are. Even if an opponent manages to win in this state, the sound of shattering, reverberating glass that resonates when Mega Chimecho falls will leave them in a state of shock despite their victory. The smaller copies of Mega Chimecho flutter endlessly, even when no wind is blowing. When Mega Chimecho cries, its copies join in and resonate with it. These echoes overlap and reverberate to create an intense sound-wave attack that can overwhelm any opponent.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/dlc Mega Dimension]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/251106_01/</ Mega Dimension DLC]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Chimecho is the very last Pokémon by {{DL|List of Pokémon by index number (GBA)|index number}} in the [[Generation III]] games (excluding glitch Pokémon and {{p|Unown}} forms), except in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where this trait belongs to {{p|Munchlax}}.

===Origin===
Chimecho appears to be based on Japanese glass wind bells known as ''{{wp|wind chime#Eastern and Southern Asia|fūrin}}'', which are hung around {{wp|Shinto shrine}}s to predict disasters and ward off evil spirits. Its red and white coloration is reminiscent of the dresses worn by {{wp|miko}}.

Mega Chimecho may be based on the {{wp|Khakkhara|khakkhara or shakujo}} staffs used by {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} monks. They are topped by golden rings and the sounds of the rings shaking ward off animals and evil spirits, reflecting how Mega Chimecho's echoes create overlapping sounds, and its stated ability to purify spirits. Mega Chimecho possesses the shape and scarf of a {{p|Chingling}}, referencing {{wp|atavism}}.

Chimecho’s seven cries, and the seven Chimecho on Mega Chimecho, may reference how the number seven signifies luck, good fortune, and spirituality in {{wp|Shinto}} and {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} culture.

====Name origin====
Chimecho may be a combination of ''chime'' and ''echo''.

Chirean may be a combination of ちりんちりん ''chirinchirin'' (the sound of a bell chiming) and 風鈴 ''fūrin'' (wind chime).

'''Chimecho''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チリーン''' ''Chirean'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Chingling}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]].

Chimecho will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Chimecho''' in the upcoming [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Chimecho is a small, round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a mainly bluish-white body shaped like a fūrin {{wp|wind chime}}. It has beady, yellow eyes and three stubby limbs. Its body has a horizontal {{wp|Amaranth (color)|amaranth}}-colored pattern. Underneath its body extends a long, tag-like tail that has amaranth patterning at the bottom. A yellow, globular growth, referred to as a ''suction cup'' or a ''sucker'', is connected to the top of its body.

Chimecho can create ultrasonic sound waves and other noises. It uses seven different echoing cries to communicate with others. It is nocturnal and usually lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and woods, but some are found in mountainous regions. An omnivorous species, it eats Berries that it plucks with its tail and can knock out large prey using powerful waves of air, which are thought to be created by Chimecho amplifying the faint sound of wind inside its body.

===Forms===
Chimecho can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Chimecho.

As Mega Chimecho, its suction cup expands in size and forms a Chingling-styled ornament behind it, consisting of its familiar golden color along with the accompanying large red and white tassels. Six smaller Chimecho-styled ornaments line the Chingling ornament's arms and cheeks, colored amaranth, blue, and green starting from the outward ornaments, though with a connecting cheek pattern, as well as having a more polygonal pattern on each tail.

The smaller copies flutter endlessly, even when no wind is blowing. When Chimecho cries, the echoes of its copies overlap and resonate, creating an intense sound-wave attack that can overwhelm any opponent.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/dlc Mega Dimension]</ref>

===Origin===
Chimecho appears to be based on Japanese glass wind bells known as ''{{wp|wind chime#Eastern and Southern Asia|fūrin}}'', which are hung around {{wp|Shinto shrine}}s to predict disasters and ward off evil spirits. Its red and white coloration is reminiscent of the dresses worn by {{wp|miko}}.

Mega Chimecho may be based on the {{wp|Khakkhara|khakkhara or shakujo}} staffs used by {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} monks. They are topped by golden rings and the sounds of the rings shaking ward off animals, reflecting how Mega Chimecho's echoes creating overlapping sounds. Mega Chimecho is also in the shape of a {{p|Chingling}}.

====Name origin====
Chimecho may be a combination of ''chime'' and ''echo''.

Chirean may be a combination of ちりんちりん ''chirinchirin'' (the sound of a bell chiming) and 風鈴 ''fūrin'' (wind chime).

'''Jett''' (Japanese: '''ジェット''' ''Jet'') is the CEO of [[Quasartico Inc.]] in [[Lumiose City]] in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She seemingly desires to deepen the bonds between [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} through Quasartico's urban redevelopment plan. [[Vinnie]] is her secretary at Quasartico.

==In the core series games==
It is revealed in the postgame that Jett is the grandmother of [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]]. Jett's estranged daughter was his/her mother, but because Jett hadn't spoken to her daughter in years she wasn't aware that she even had a grandchild. After discovering their relation, Jett appoints Urbain/Taunie as the new president of Quasartico Inc.

'''Taunie''' (Japanese: '''タウニー''' ''Townie'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She resides and works at [[Hotel Z]] in [[Lumiose City]] and is part of [[Team MZ]]. She is the female counterpart to [[Urbain]], appearing if the player chooses {{ga|Paxton}} as their character at the beginning of the game. The two become friends during the story.

Taunie likes to help [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and is skilled at [[Pokémon battle]]s, although she may come on strong at times. She wears a [[Mega Ring]] on her left arm.

==Appearance==
Taunie is a young female with fair skin, royal blue eyes, bisque hair, and a standard build. She wears white shorts with a platinum gray belt along with a crimson sleeveless shirt under a beige jacket with navy blue buttons and top collar. Her footwear features navy blue heavy-duty high-top sneakers with pink laces.

==In the core series games==
Taunie's jacket is a memento from her late mother, who was once a part of [[Team Flare]]. She came to [[Lumiose City]] searching for her grandmother, and at some point [[Emma]] helped her out while she was down on her luck. Taunie met [[AZ]] who allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]] in exchange for working there.

==Trivia==
*Taunie has the same hairstyle as [[Harmony]], the female player character in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
**The reverse is also true for her male counterpart [[Urbain]], who has the same hairstyle as Paxton.
*Taunie along with her male counterpart Urbain are the first and only [[friend]]/[[rival]] characters to use both of the [[first partner Pokémon]] not picked by the player on their teams. This is due to the fact that they owned all three of them prior to giving one of them to the player at the beginning of the game.
**This also makes them the first and only friend/rival characters to have both a first partner Pokémon with a type disadvantage against the player’s first partner Pokémon and a first partner Pokémon with a type advantage against the player’s first partner Pokémon at the same time.
*Taunie and Urbain are the only rivals in the core series that the player is not required to win against at any point before the [[Game credits|credits]].

'''Urbain''' (Japanese: '''ガイ''' ''Gai'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] character from {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He resides and works at [[Hotel Z]] in [[Lumiose City]] and is part of [[Team MZ]]. He is the male counterpart to [[Taunie]], appearing if the player chooses {{ga|Harmony}} as their character at the beginning of the game. The two become friends during the story.

Urbain likes to help [[Human|people]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and is skilled at [[Pokémon battle]]s, although he may come on strong at times. He wears a [[Mega Ring]] on his left wrist.

==In the core series games==
Urbain's jacket is a memento from his late mother, who was once a part of [[Team Flare]]. He came to [[Lumiose City]] searching for his grandmother, and at some point [[Emma]] helped him out while he was down on his luck. Urbain met [[AZ]] who allowed him to stay at [[Hotel Z]] in exchange for working there.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
;Mission 04 - "Battling in the Z-A Royale"
:;[[Hotel Z]], [[Vert Sector 8]], [[Vert District]]
::''"Ready to get out there and officially compete in the Z-A Royale? Steeled yourself?"''
:::'''Ready as I'll be!''': ''"Great! You can do this!"''
:*After the [[Battle zone (Lumiose City)|Battle Zone]] becomes available
::''"Here's a Z-A Royale tip: Once night falls, check your map!"''


==Trivia==
*Urbain has the same hairstyle as [[Paxton]], the male player character in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
**The reverse is also true for [[Taunie]], who has the same hairstyle as Harmony.
*Urbain along with his female counterpart Taunie are the first and only [[friend]]/[[rival]] characters to use both of the [[first partner Pokémon]] not picked by the player on their teams. This is due to the fact that they owned all three of them prior to giving one of them to the player at the beginning of the game.
**This also makes them the first and only friend/rival characters to have both a first partner Pokémon with a type disadvantage against the player’s first partner Pokémon and a first partner Pokémon with a type advantage against the player’s first partner Pokémon at the same time.
*Urbain and Taunie are the only rivals in the core series that the player is not required to win against at any point before the [[Game credits|credits]].

'''Malva''' (Japanese: '''パキラ''' ''Pachira'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. In addition, she was also a member of [[Team Flare]] prior to the organization's disbandment.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Malva Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Malva challenging the player]]
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Malva appears as an [[Elite Four]] Trainer of [[Kalos]]. She is also a news reporter and a self-proclaimed star of the [[Holo Caster]]. In addition to this, she is an Admin of [[Team Flare]] and expresses animosity towards the {{player}} for the team's defeat. According to [[Grisham]] in {{g|Legends Z-A}}, back when she was a Team Flare Admin, Malva participated in the capture of {{p|Yveltal}}, though the incident greatly depleted Team Flare forces, a number large enough for Grisham to believe Calem/Serena and their friends would not have reached the ultimate weapon if not for Yveltal.

She also appears in the post-game [[Looker]] Bureau storyline, in which she helps the player and Looker stop [[Xerosic]]'s plans by providing the player with access to the Hidden Floor of [[Lysandre Labs]].

Malva appears in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] in the [[Player Search System]]'s [[Holo Caster]] feature, which is reused from Pokémon X and Y.
{{left clear}}

In {{g|Legends Z-A}}, some NPCs around [[Lumiose City]] mention Malva. One asks the player what happened to her, suggesting that she retreated from the Elite Four and the public eye after the events of Pokémon X and Y.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
Malva debuted in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'', reporting that {{an|Professor Sycamore}} and his assistants were going to the [[Anistar City]] Sundial to investigate its connection to [[Mega Evolution]].

Malva physically debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''. While [[Alain]] was about to begin his challenge with ten Mega Evolution Trainers, Malva questioned Lysandre on whether Alain would win with Lysandre responding that they should see. Malva then observed Alain during his battles with the Trainers Lysandre recruited and his interaction with [[Mairin]].

After Alain defeated nine Trainers, Malva entered the field as the final Trainer that Alain had to face. Alain immediately recognized her as a member of the Elite Four while Malva had heard about Alain's loss to [[Siebold]], another Elite Four member, earlier on. Both of the Trainers began their battle, pitting {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} against her {{p|Houndoom}}. Although Malva put up a good fight, Alain finally emerged victorious with his Charizard's {{m|Blast Burn}}.

Malva made her in-person animated series debut in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where she was shown broadcasting from the [[Lumiose Conference]], with {{TRT}}, who were in disguise and working for her as her camera, sound, and lighting assistants for the broadcasts. Then after {{Ash}} caught her eye, she went to interview him. She reappeared in ''[[XY126|Valuable Experience for All!]]'', where she continued to report on what had recently happened and was happening in the Conference.

In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'' and ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', Malva was seen watching Ash and [[Sawyer]]'s battle.

[[File:Alain and Malva.png|thumb|250px|left|Malva and Alain]]
In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Malva interrupted Alain, who was training for his upcoming battle against Ash in the final battle of the Conference, and had a conversation with him. After the conversation, she walked away and scolded Team Rocket. She was later seen with Team Rocket, watching Ash and Alain walking towards each of their respective sides of the battlefield for the aforementioned battle.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', Malva watched the beginning of Ash and Alain's battle in the final round of the Lumiose Conference. In ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', she watched the end of the battle.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', during Lumiose City's destruction, Malva walked away from Team Rocket, leaving them to film what was going on in the city by themselves.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Malva turned against Lysandre, admitting that while she was not satisfied with the world as it was now, watching Alain and Ash inspired her and convinced her that as long as they, the adults, were able to teach the younger generation to lend a helping hand, the future is therefore worth fighting for. Lysandre merely rebuffed her and told her that if it was her decision, she should perish along with Ash and Alain. Later on, Malva was visibly impressed by Ash when he lectured Lysandre on why the current world is worth fighting for.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', after helping in the massive battle against the [[Giant Rock]], Malva promised {{an|Steven Stone}} that she would deal with the remaining Team Flare members and then turn herself in.

Malva reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====Character====
In the field, Malva is very upbeat, taking her role as a reporter very seriously, all while enjoying her work. Since she works hard to get as many details as possible in her interviews, she expects the same level of work ethic from her support staff. In battle, Malva is very sly, often asking questions to her opponents while already knowing their answer. She does not hesitate to pressure an opponent mentally when she gains the upper hand in battle, taunting Alain at several points in her battle. She is also very direct when stating her opinion of others, saying that she found Alain to be so detestable in nature that she had grown to like him after he defeated her. Malva was shown to have a close relationship with Lysandre, easily picking up on why the former had grown to like Alain after only one battle. However, after witnessing how much Ash and Alain wanted to protect everyone from Lysandre's plan, her relationship with him ended and she decided to join them in their battle against him. Her morality continued upon Lysandre's ultimate defeat, telling Steven Stone that she would willingly give herself up to Officer Jenny.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Malva Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Malva in Pokémon Adventures]]
Malva debuts in the {{MangaArc|X & Y}} as a newscaster reporting the events of what happened in [[Vaniville Town]]. Instead of mentioning the chaos caused by {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, she reports the destruction was caused by a large explosion. Another broadcast is later seen by [[Alexa]], who wonders why the media is ignoring the Legendary Pokémon. Malva first appears in person talking to a colleague of hers. She notes that after a recent movie debut, [[Diantha]] has decided to go on hiatus. As she had not done this in a while, Malva finds Diantha's behavior suspicious and decides to investigate Diantha to find out why she decided to do so.

Afterward, Malva returns to the Team Flare Secret HQ to resume her duties as a member of Team Flare. After chastising a Grunt for losing a clipboard containing information about the various Mega Stones located in Kalos, Malva digs in a container filled with the Poké Balls of Pokémon that were gathered after the Vaniville Town incident. Upon finding a box containing a Pokédex and a {{p|Fennekin}} she decides to keep the Fennekin for herself, but crushes the Pokédex under her heel. She then forces [[Aliana]] to return the Pyroar she had been borrowing from her, much to Aliana's frustration. Afterward, Malva borrows [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}} and uses it to control several {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s to attack {{adv|X}} and his friends. Although Aegislash is defeated, Malva praises Aegislash's ability to control a large number of people due to Celosia's training. Celosia worries that they need to obtain X's [[Mega Ring]] so that [[Lysandre]] can use its [[Key Stone]] to Mega Evolve his {{p|Gyarados}}, but Malva points out that several other Mega Evolution Successors are currently on the run. Malva then decides to chase after the other Successors to obtain one of their Key Stones.

During Team Flare's operation to move the tree form of Xerneas to Team Flare's base, Malva watches the operation alongside Celosia and [[Emma|Essentia]]. They use the kidnapped residents of Vaniville Town as forced labor via mind control from Celosia's Aegislash. When X and his friends arrive, they attack Team Flare to rescue their neighbors and family members. X and Y are easily defeated and captured, allowing Celosia to try and finish them off. Just as she attacks X, Gurkinn, Korrina, and Diantha come to the rescue with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Malva immediately reveals herself and takes on Diantha alone while trapping her inside a {{m|Magic Room}}. Now isolated from the outside world, Malva reveals to Diantha her true nature as a member of Team Flare and begins attacking the Champion. Malva explains to Diantha that she is simply stalling for time while Team Flare manages to move Xerneas to their base. Although Y and Shauna attempt to break the barrier from the outside, their attempts fail and eventually the Magic Room sinks into the ground.

The victor of the battle is unknown, but Malva returns to the base after Xerneas has been successfully moved. She fashions the Key Stone Celosia stole from Korrina into a Mega Ring for Lysandre to wear as he prepares to begin absorbing Xerneas's energy to power the ultimate weapon. Later, X and his friend infiltrated the Team Flare Secret HQ in order to stop the ultimate weapon from being unleashed. Although he was unable to stop the weapon from being activated, X's battle against Lysandre caused Xerneas to awaken from its slumber. Xerneas allied itself with X and his friends and helped them escape back to the surface.

Xerneas later joined Y's team and teamed up with her to destroy the ultimate weapon, but was stopped by Malva, who appeared riding on top of Yveltal. Malva reveals that when Xerneas was still dormant, Yveltal slept underneath it in its cocoon form. When Malva went underground during her battle with Diantha, she found the sleeping Yveltal and obtained it. Malva attempted to have Yveltal attack the heroes, but Xerosic stops her by revealing that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Although Team Flare blamed the ultimate weapon's blast on X's friends and the Gym Leaders, their efforts did not fool every person in the region. To lay low from the public view, Team Flare relocated to the [[Pokémon Village]].

After X and his friends learn where Team Flare went into hiding, they travel to the village to stop the villains for good. On the way, Xerosic attacks X and his friends with a trap. Diantha manages to escape from the trap and goes ahead to the village while the others deal with Xerosic. Before she can get there, Diantha is intercepted by Malva, who proceeds to attack Diantha. Diantha blocks Malva's attack, only to find that Malva managed to snatch her Mega Charm away. Malva then takes to the skies, forcing Diantha to follow after her with her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}}.

The chase takes them to the skies above the Pokémon Village. When Y sees the two fighting, she helps Diantha by having [[Fletchy]] burn Malva's hand to force her to drop the Mega Charm. Although Y attempts to assist with battling Malva, Diantha refuses her offer and chooses to battle against Malva alone. After some time, Malva witnesses Lysandre as he is being defeated. This distraction allows Diantha's Gardevoir to get a hit on Talonflame, which causes it to drop Malva. Diantha attempts to help Malva by reaching out with her hand, only for Malva to reject the offer by slapping her hand away. Malva reaches out to Lysandre as he falls to the ground after {{p|Zygarde}} disappears, causing both to land onto the sharp rubble below. As he lays in a pool of blood, Lysandre weakly asks the unconscious Malva why the ultimate weapon has not been fired yet. Later, Malva revealed that she planned to double-cross Lysandre once Team Flare's goal was met, and told Diantha that she would rather die than be pitied by her. Afterward, the remaining Elite Four members and Diantha carry Malva's unconscious body away.

After returning to active duty as a member of Team Flare, Malva found Fennekin and the Pokédex inside a box with the other Pokémon. She decided to take Fennekin for herself, but the Pokédex fell under her foot and was crushed. Sometime later, Fennekin evolved into a Braixen. She was used to battle against Diantha when she and her allies came to stop Team Flare from obtaining Xerneas and attacking X. Malva had Braixen use {{m|Magic Room}} to trap Diantha, but noted that its effect does not work on Mega Stones.

After Team Flare was defeated, [[Clemont]] gave Trevor a Poké Ball containing the unconscious Delphox inside. Clemont revealed that after Team Flare's defeat, {{adv|Shauna}}'s {{p|Furfrou}}, Furry, protected the unconscious Delphox, which clued Clemont into realizing that Delphox must have been related to X's group somehow. Trevor then decided to give Delphox to {{adv|Whitley}}.}}

Malva revealed her capture of Yveltal at Geosenge Town, where she used it to battle Y's newly-obtained Xerneas, [[Xerxer]]. The battle was interrupted by Xerosic, who pointed out that the battle would never end due to Yveltal and Xerneas being evenly matched. Later, it ended up turning back into its cocoon form alongside Xerxer, who turned into its tree form.

Yveltal's known moves are {{m|Oblivion Wing}} and {{m|Phantom Force}}.}}

Aegislash's known moves are {{m|Slash}} and {{m|King's Shield}}, and its Ability is {{a|Stance Change}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Malva is the only:
** member of the Elite Four to be a member of a [[villainous team]] in the games and animated series.
** member of the [[Kalos]] Elite Four to not use a Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]] in the {{pkmn|games}}.
*** However, in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, she is shown to use a {{p|Houndoom}}, which can Mega Evolve.
** Trainer to battle with the Elite Four theme in all her battles, including outside both the Pokémon League and Battle Chateau.
** Elite Four member in the animated series to have lost on-screen against a Trainer that is neither another Elite Four member or a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
* ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'' is the only episode of the animated series in which Malva appears with the tinted glasses she wears in the games. In all other episodes, she wears colorless lenses instead.

==Trivia==
*During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
*For his first four matches the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his [[Gyarados]]. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.

==Trivia==
*During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
*For his first four matches the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his [[Gyarados]]. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.

'''Lysandre''' (Japanese: '''フラダリ''' ''Fuladari'') is the boss of [[Team Flare]] and the main antagonist of [[Pokémon X and Y]]. He is also a philanthropist and owner of [[Lysandre Labs]], the company that created the [[Holo Caster]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Flare Boss''' (Japanese: '''フレアだんボス''' ''Team Flare Boss'').

He seeks to wipe out most of the world population in order to return the {{pkmn|world|planet}} to a "beautiful", unspoiled state; what he implies is a world without 'negative' or 'ugly' concepts, such as strife, struggle, war, or despair.<ref name="Pokémon.com 2017-11-02">Lysandre is the boss of Team Flare, the villainous organization that appeared in ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y''. He is, by nature, a man of deep sympathies—but has been driven to despair by watching humans fighting and struggling against one another, and he comes to believe that the only way for people to live in beauty, without strife or struggle, is by reducing the number of people living in the world. He restored the ultimate weapon, which had been sealed away 3000 years earlier, and then, using the power of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas or Yveltal, he attempted to eradicate life.</ref>

==In the core series games==
===History===
Lysandre is descended from Kalos royalty and old friends with [[Professor Sycamore]].<ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry... He truly is a chosen one."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> As the rich owner of a technology company, Lysandre was a philanthropist who often made donations to better the world.<ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> One of the people he helped was a young [[Corbeau]], who would come to idolize Lysandre for his generosity. As time went on Lysandre witnessed the ugliness of people and the world, and found that his charities and donations weren't doing as much good as he had hoped. He gradually turned into a misanthrope who saw no hope for the future because of human "foolishness".<ref>'''Lysandre:''' ''I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> He would come to blame the expanding human population for this, deciding that conflict came from people being unable to share limited resources.<ref>'''Lysandre:''' ''"When there is only one of something, it can't be shared. When something can't be shared, it will be fought over. And when something is fought over, some must survive without it. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft, is to reduce the number of living things."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref>

===={{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Lysandre meeting Player XY.png|thumb|250px|left|Lysandre meeting the player at Sycamore's lab]]
The player first meets Lysandre in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in [[Lumiose City]] seeing potential in them, and then later in Café Soleil where he is seen talking to [[Diantha]] about her acting career. He discusses with her about the idea of eternal beauty, but she quickly dismisses the idea, claiming that she does not look for such a thing, much to Lysandre's annoyance. After this, he spots the player, where he speaks about his dream of a beautiful world.

Following this, Lysandre doesn't reappear until much later, after the player has defeated [[Clemont]] for their fifth Badge. This time, he speaks about the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] who nearly vaporized all life in the region 3,000 years ago by usage of a weapon. He also speaks about Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} role in the creation of the [[ultimate weapon]], as well as their role in the creation of life and destruction as a whole. After this, Lysandre will regularly communicate with the player through the [[Holo Caster]], monitoring their progress, and constantly showing his vision for a beautiful world as well as asking them to reconsider his proposal and join him on his cause.

Lysandre then appears after the player has received their seventh Badge. At this point, it is revealed through his Holo Caster message that he is the leader of [[Team Flare]], and that he plans to use the weapon which he spoke about earlier in order to eliminate anyone not part of Team Flare, surprising both the player and their neighbor. The player later confronts Lysandre in person at the lab beneath his café as he wishes to test the player's resolve, and is then battled and defeated. Lysandre admires the player's resolve and strength and instructs them that if they wish to stop him, he must get the elevator key from one of four Team Flare's scientists the player already met, while he retreats underground.

After the player obtains the Key and descends further into the lab, they meet with Lysandre who is speaking with a tall man behind bars known as AZ. Lysandre introduces AZ as someone who "shares the name of the previous King of Kalos" as well as possessing the key of the ultimate weapon. After AZ tells the player the tragedy left by the ultimate weapon and asks them to stop the device from being used, Lysandre invites the player deeper underground if they wish to stop him. The player descends and meets Lysandre talking with [[Xerosic]]. Lysandre then tells the player to battle Xerosic, and if they are successful against the scientist, then they will stop their scheme. After the player defeats Xerosic, he has them push one of two buttons, one of which activates the weapon. However, pushing the correct one unfortunately does not stop Xerosic from unleashing the weapon on Kalos. (If the player chooses the blue button he will activate the weapon by remote control, otherwise the player activates the weapon.)

Lysandre is later found again at the site of the ultimate weapon in [[Geosenge Town]] where the player's rival questions him about his extreme measures to fix the world, which he replies that they are the only possible solution for he thinks humans are inherently evil and greedy. He uses the analogy of them competing over their [[Mega Ring]] as an example that when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, for someone must live with it and some without and as such, more tragedies are likely to happen and therefore, the only solution is to reduce the human population. When further questioned about Pokémon, he tearfully claims that Pokémon, while magnificent beings, are condemned to be used by humans and, for the greater good, are best annihilated.

He is then battled again as he simply seeks to stall for time against the player. The player defeats Lysandre once again, and he shows further admiration for the player's strength. He then challenges the player to travel deeper into the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop the weapon despite his belief that it is already too late, but multiple members of Team Flare are waiting in ambush on the lower floors. After defeating them, the player reaches Xerneas or Yveltal. The legendary Pokémon is then battled and caught by the player, seemingly disabling the weapon. Lysandre returns wearing a cybernetic suit, called the '''Lysandre Machine''', that is intended to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} energy back into the Ultimate Weapon, and he declares that he will take the legendary Pokémon back and complete his plan. Now wielding a Mega Ring of his own, he engages the player in a final battle.
[[File:Lysandre Loses XY.png|frame|Lysandre losing to the player]]
After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and their friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to 'force immortality on the player, their friends, and himself'{{sup/6|X}}/'kill everyone in the building'{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. Hearing this, the player and their friends quickly leave, after which the blast from the weapon destroys the building and seemingly buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble, putting an end to Team Flare's threat.

Later on in the game, an NPC in [[Snowbelle City]] who is an old friend of Lysandre mentions that Lysandre had noble intentions and did his best to help people in need, but was eventually convinced of humanity's stupidity, along with his own limitations which resulted in him becoming a misanthrope.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
=====[[Episode RR]]=====
An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Lysandre appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] is one of the second pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Cyrus]]. Like the other {{cat|villainous team leaders}} in Team Rainbow Rocket, this Lysandre was summoned from a world where his plans succeeded. However, as he explains to the player, a bright light consumed him when he fired the [[ultimate weapon]] and was transported to the game's world. He has his {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s set up devices with red and blue buttons in his office within [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. Then, he subjects the player to the same choice the player in Kalos was subjected to, claiming that one button will activate the ultimate weapon and the other will open the path to [[Giovanni]]. However, no matter which button the player chooses, it will be the one that activates the weapon. Lysandre then tells the player that pushing the opposite button will prevent it from firing. However, in order to buy time for the weapon to fire, Lysandre battles the player, using Xerneas{{sup/7|US}}/Yveltal{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. When he is defeated, he allows the player to press the other button, ostensibly shutting down the ultimate weapon, as well as unlocking one of the two seals needed to reach Giovanni. Lysandre then wonders if things would have been different in his world if he had met a Trainer like the player. He then rejects that line of thought, resolving that he must bring about his beautiful world. He is later sent back to his own world by [[Colress]] off-screen.

===={{g|Legends: Z-A}}====
It is revealed that Lysandre survived his supposed demise in [[Pokémon X and Y]] thanks to Zygarde, but has become slightly amnesiac. Due to the ultimate weapon, he has taken on a similar affliction to AZ and become cursed with the longevity of three thousand years. His hair has become shorter and paler, and his left eye appears to have blinded.

Lysandre first meets the player under the pseudonym of "'''L'''". He warns the player about the coming crisis in Lumiose City and tells them that they must become a Trainer worthy of Zygarde's trust in order to stop it. Later on, he helps by gathering all of Zygarde's Cells in order for it to assume its Complete Forme and defeat the rogue machine, [[Ange]].

After the player's first reward match in the Infinite [[Z-A Royale]], L comes to [[Hotel Z]] to speak with them about AZ, telling them about how the two had talked about the agony of being unable to die and about AZ's good and heinous deeds, including Ange. L surmises that Ange's influence resulted in more wild Pokémon gathering throughout Lumiose, wondering if it is right that people and Pokémon are kept at arm's length of each other with the city's holo-tech barriers. He wonders if people will find another way, stating that he looks forward to seeing what the people of Lumiose choose. L then explains that more of his memory returned following his conversation with the player in Lysandre Labs, having recalled the existence of Xerneas and Yveltal. He also informs them that since Ange was destroyed, Zygarde has not shown itself, likely due to it having exhausted its power and retreated somewhere to quietly recover. L requests the player to find Xerneas and Yveltal.

After the player catches Xerneas and Yveltal, L appears before the player outside Hotel Z. He explains that he knows that he tried to give too much to the world in the past, and because his good deeds saw no reward, he wallowed in despair and resentment and decided to take everything for himself instead. He explains how Zygarde seeks to correct excess and restore balance to the world, believing that to be the reason Zygarde rescued him. L then challenges the player to a battle.

====History====
[[File:Lysandre anime.png|thumb|250px|Lysandre in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'']]
Lysandre debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. Though he was not identified as the caller at the time, he contacted [[Alain]] via the [[Holo Caster]], directing him to where a new Mega Stone could be found. He also was seen observing the power of Alain's Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X during its battle with [[Siebold]]'s Mega {{p|Blastoise}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Lysandre traveled to [[Hoenn]], intervened in Alain's battle with {{Steven}}, and introduced Alain and Steven properly to each other. It was revealed that in the past, he defeated Alain in a battle over an [[Ampharosite]], then took Alain to [[Lysandre Labs]] and recruited him to work in a project to harness the energy of Mega Evolution for peaceful purposes. Lysandre was also the one who awarded Alain his Mega Ring and Charizardite X, though he asked Alain to not tell Professor Sycamore of the research, fearing that people with bad intentions would bring harm to him in order to obtain it. Later, he traveled with Alain, [[Mairin]], and Steven to a ruin, where they uncovered an ancient [[Giant Rock]]. However, his research on the Giant Rock accidentally summoned {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}, who destroyed the area. After the encounter with Rayquaza, Lysandre discovered a similar energy reading to the Giant Rock near [[Rustboro City]], and asked Alain to go there and investigate. He also covertly ordered Alain to keep a close eye on Steven, for the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} had precious information on Mega Evolution.
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Lysandre]]
In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Lysandre gave instructions to Alain and Steven. After Mega Rayquaza defeated both [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}}, he had the Giant Rock, which had reappeared during the battle of the Legendary Pokémon, taken away with his submarine for further studies.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Lysandre observed Alain's battles against ten Mega Evolution Trainers while his scientists researched the Giant Rock. After [[Chespie]], Mairin's {{p|Chespin}}, who had interfered with the experiments performed on a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, was hospitalized, Lysandre told the victorious Alain that he had to continue gather data on Mega Evolution if Chespie was to recover. He was also shown to be close to Malva, who served as Alain's final opponent.

Lysandre has a major antagonistic role in [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]], first making appearances in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' and ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', where he was studying [[Squishy]] alongside [[Xerosic]].

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Lysandre was contacted by Alain via the Holo Caster, who wanted to know if Mairin's Chespie's condition had improved or not. Later, he reappeared in [[XY107|the next episode]], overseeing the operation to capture [[Z2]] alongside Xerosic. At the end of the episode, he received Z2.

Lysandre reappeared in ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'' and ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', where he received mission reports from Xerosic.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Lysandre was talking to a man inside a building at the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He soon got a call on a Holo Caster that an {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} was holding, from Xerosic, who was in the front seat of a truck that was just outside the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Later on at night, he met {{Ash}} for the first time and discussed the capability of [[Ash's Greninja]] to take on its different form in battle. After his conversation with him, he was shown with an annoyed expression, before turning towards the Lumiose Gym and smirked. Lysandre later talked to Mairin after she ran up to him and he put on a happy expression. The next day, Lysandre was seated in a private viewing box inside the Lumiose Conference's stadium with a glass window, along with Mairin and the same Admin, and they all watched as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.
[[File:Lysandre Machine anime.png|thumb|250px|Wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]
In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre watched Ash and Alain's battle in the finals of the Lumiose Conference. Towards the end of the latter episode, his true egotistical, narcissistic nature is revealed as he uses the power of Z2 to bring the whole of Kalos into his control, taking over Lumiose City and subsequently the Lumiose Conference, which had just been concluded.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre revealed himself as the leader of Team Flare to a captured Ash. He also televised a message to the citizens of Kalos about his plan for creating a new, beautiful world for Team Flare.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Lysandre explained his motivations. Much like in the games, he once had a generous nature and would help those in need. However, after those he supported grew accustomed to his aid and turned greedy, he became disillusioned with the human race. Because of this, he intended to "restart" the world, and he attempted to control Ash and Greninja the same way he did with Zygarde, so that Ash could become the guide of the new world. Ash, however, defied Lysandre and used the [[Bond Phenomenon]] to break free. Following this turn of events, Lysandre equipped his machine and started a fight with Ash and the defecting Alain using his Pyroar and his Shiny Mega Gyarados. Pyroar was defeated through a joint attack by {{AP|Noivern}}, {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Lysandre defeated the majority of Ash's team. He was surprised when Malva appeared to help Alain and Ash, but nonetheless remained confident even after Clemont and Bonnie freed the two Zygarde under his control.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was finally beaten by Ash and Alain. Refusing to surrender, Lysandre seemingly killed himself by jumping off the tower. It was afterwards revealed that Lysandre had planned for the Giant Rock to transform into a copy of Zygarde, which would engulf the [[Anistar City]] Sundial and release enough energy to wipe out all life on the planet.

He made one final appearance in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. After the Giant Rock was temporarily stopped by Ash, Alain, Steven, Malva, [[Diantha]], and all of the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Chespie]] was freed from it's control, Lysandre appears and revives the Rock himself using a control device announcing he still intends to destroy the world even if it means he has to die too. He lost control of the Rock after the device was destroyed by Ash and Alain, and was defeated entirely by Squishy and Z2 after they transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and destroyed the Giant Rock. The explosion from Zygarde's {{m|Core Enforcer}} engulfs Lysandre, leaving his final fate unclear.

After its ally Pyroar was defeated, it single-handedly fought a group of seven Pokémon from Ash's entire team and Alain, including two Mega-level and four fully evolved Pokémon along with Ash's Pikachu, eventually knocking out all of Ash's Pokémon except Greninja and Pikachu.

Lysandre debuted in ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]''. He was first seen in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab, watching a video of the battle between [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} in [[Vaniville Town]]. He then asked for a copy of the footage for further study.

In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Professor Sycamore sent {{adv|Trevor}} and his friends to [[Lysandre Labs|Lysandre Café]] to get repairs for Trevor's [[Holo Caster]]. The group was introduced to Lysandre, but Trevor became suspicious of the man after seeing his silhouette in a photo taken during the Vaniville incident. Noting Trevor's strange behavior, Lysandre asked to see the photo, even using his Pokémon to surround the group when Trevor refused. [[Diantha]] arrived and used her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to defend Trevor's group. Lysandre backed off and left to answer a call from [[Xerosic]], who had discovered the location of Xerneas's tree form.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Lysandre returned to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] after Xerneas's tree form had been successfully transported. He received the Lysandre Machine, which [[Clemont]] was forced to build, and a Mega Ring, which had its [[Key Stone]] stolen from [[Korrina]]. Lysandre and Xerosic began draining Xerneas of its life energy to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. {{adv|X}} later broke into the building to put an end to [[Team Flare]]'s ambitions. He found the ultimate weapon's control room and confronted Lysandre, who used his Mega Ring to Mega Evolve his {{p|Gyarados}}. During their battle, X had his [[Élec]] use its {{a|Lightning Rod}} to pull electricity from the ultimate weapon's absorber into its tail, draining the machine of its power. This allowed Xerneas to awaken from its slumber and revert back to normal.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', Trevor, {{adv|Tierno}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, [[Clemont]], [[Emma]], and [[AZ]] arrived at the control room, where they found X had already been defeated. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key but were unable to pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X and his friends successfully weakened the ultimate weapon, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. AZ stayed behind to allow Xerneas to escape back to the surface with X and the others. When Malva attempted to confront X's group with Yveltal, Lysandre ordered a ceasefire due to it and Xerneas being evenly matched. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking X and the others with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Team Flare was revealed to have blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on X's friends and the Gym Leaders. They moved operations to the [[Pokémon Village]] to keep a low profile. When Xerosic later discovered the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} are an older form of the absorber, Team Flare began using them to drain the life energy of the Pokémon living at the village. These actions earned Team Flare the anger of {{adv|Mewtwo}}, who protected the Pokémon Village. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', X and {{adv|Blue}} found Lysandre in battle with Mewtwo at the village. Hoping to have Mewtwo weakened enough for capture, Lysandre tried to trick it into attacking X and Blue, only for {{adv|Blaine}} to arrive and Mega Evolve Mewtwo into its Y form.

In ''[[PS591|Mewtwo Angered]]'', Lysandre summoned [[Emma|Essentia]] and used a device to control her like a puppet. By talking into the device, Essentia would repeat Lysandre's words, allowing him to command the {{adv|Zygarde}} she had caught earlier. While Blaine and Mewtwo kept Zygarde still, X defeated Essentia, uncovering her true identity as his friend Emma. With some words of encouragement from X and [[Cassius]], Emma betrayed Lysandre, but was attacked by his Gyarados before she could command Zygarde. Lysandre took Zygarde's [[Poké Ball]], only for {{adv|Y}} to arrive and take his Mega Ring. Although he was angered by this, Lysandre made an announcement to the entire Kalos region, informing the public of Team Flare's plan to destroy everything with the ultimate weapon. By borrowing Key Stones from his allies, X was able to activate Mega Evolution for his entire team at once.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Lysandre used Zygarde to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. As the battle went on, X's friends noticed Zygarde's body was breaking apart due to Xerneas and Yveltal reverting to their tree and cocoon forms. Once they fully reverted, X had his team launch one final attack, fully separating Zygarde. Malva attempted to save Lysandre from falling, only for both to land onto the rubble below. Heavily injured, Lysandre weakly asked Malva why the ultimate weapon had not yet been fired. Afterward, Blaine revealed Lysandre was alive, but had sustained severe injuries to his spinal cord.

Lysandre reappeared in a flashback as a silhouette when Sina and Dexio were explaining Zygarde's presence in Alola.

==Trivia==
* Lysandre shares three Pokémon with [[Cyrus]], another leader of a [[Team Galactic|villainous team]]: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Honchkrow}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}. Their goals are also similar; both involve trying to wipe out everyone for some purpose and using [[Legendary Pokémon]] to achieve it.
** [[Xerosic]] and [[Mable]], two of his top scientists, possess a {{p|Crobat}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Weavile}}, respectively; all Pokémon that Cyrus had.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Lysandre Machine's functions are different: the "bugs" attached to the backpack piece are able to shoot beams of Mega Evolution energy, while the gauntlet is used to control the [[Giant Rock]]. Additionally, the pieces of the suit are capable of flight and can carry Lysandre into the air while he is wearing them.
* Lysandre's Gyarados knows {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Outrage}}, which it cannot learn in {{g|X and Y}}. The only way for Gyarados to know these moves in Pokémon X and Y is through [[Move Tutor]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}} before being transferred through [[Pokémon Bank]], or through a Move Tutor in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the latter of which wasn't available at the time of X and Y's release.
* The background story of Lysandre told by an NPC in Snowbelle City is similar to the manga ''{{wp|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind}}'', where a king, who wants to save humanity and wanting peace for his peasants, eventually realizes their stupidity and grows to hate them, eventually becoming a tyrant.
* Lysandre's hairstyle was stylized to somewhat resemble a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences#Pyroar|male]] {{p|Pyroar}}'s mane, one of his Pokémon.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader to debut in a special episode of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and also the first to have a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
** In ''Pokémon the Series'', Lysandre is not Professor Sycamore's former pupil. Instead, the two only meet for the first time during the events of the {{aniseries|XY|''XY'' series}} special, ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.
* When Lysandre is defeated for the last time in X and Y, the {{player}} performs a unique victory pose.
* Lysandre's visor can be seen on his desk in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], though he does not wear it at any point as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in the [[core series]] who never wears his team's insignia on his clothing.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in ''Pokémon the Series'' whom {{Ash}} defeated in a battle.
** He was also the first villainous team leader in the animated series since {{an|Giovanni}} to be shown to use Pokémon of his own, instead of just controlling one or more Legendary Pokémon.

'''Lysandre''' (Japanese: '''フラダリ''' ''Fuladari'') is the boss of [[Team Flare]] and the main antagonist of [[Pokémon X and Y]]. He is also a philanthropist and owner of [[Lysandre Labs]], the company that created the [[Holo Caster]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Flare Boss''' (Japanese: '''フレアだんボス''' ''Team Flare Boss'').

He seeks to wipe out most of the world population in order to return the {{pkmn|world|planet}} to a "beautiful", unspoiled state; what he implies is a world without 'negative' or 'ugly' concepts, such as strife, struggle, war, or despair.<ref name="Pokémon.com 2017-11-02">Lysandre is the boss of Team Flare, the villainous organization that appeared in ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y''. He is, by nature, a man of deep sympathies—but has been driven to despair by watching humans fighting and struggling against one another, and he comes to believe that the only way for people to live in beauty, without strife or struggle, is by reducing the number of people living in the world. He restored the ultimate weapon, which had been sealed away 3000 years earlier, and then, using the power of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas or Yveltal, he attempted to eradicate life.</ref>

==In the core series games==
===History===
Lysandre is descended from Kalos royalty and old friends with [[Professor Sycamore]].<ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry... He truly is a chosen one."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> As the rich owner of a technology company, Lysandre was a philanthropist who often made donations to better the world.<ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> One of the people he helped was a young [[Corbeau]], who would come to idolize Lysandre for his generosity. As time wore on and Lysandre witnessed the ugliness of people and the world, and found that his charities and donations weren't doing as much good as he had hoped. He gradually turned into a misanthrope who saw no hope for the future because of human "ugliness".<ref>'''Lysandre:''' ''I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> He would come to blame the expanding human population for this, deciding that conflict came from people being unable to share limited resources.<ref>'''Lysandre:''' ''"When there is only one of something, it can't be shared. When something can't be shared, it will be fought over. And when something is fought over, some must survive without it. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft, is to reduce the number of living things."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref>

===={{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Lysandre meeting Player XY.png|thumb|250px|left|Lysandre meeting the player at Sycamore's lab]]
The player first meets Lysandre in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in [[Lumiose City]] seeing potential in them, and then later in Café Soleil where he is seen talking to [[Diantha]] about her acting career. He discusses with her about the idea of eternal beauty, but she quickly dismisses the idea, claiming that she does not look for such a thing, much to Lysandre's annoyance. After this, he spots the player, where he speaks about his dream of a beautiful world.

Following this, Lysandre doesn't reappear until much later, after the player has defeated [[Clemont]] for their fifth Badge. This time, he speaks about the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] who nearly vaporized all life in the region 3,000 years ago by usage of a weapon. He also speaks about Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} role in the creation of the [[ultimate weapon]], as well as their role in the creation of life and destruction as a whole. After this, Lysandre will regularly communicate with the player through the [[Holo Caster]], monitoring their progress, and constantly showing his vision for a beautiful world as well as asking them to reconsider his proposal and join him on his cause.

Lysandre then appears after the player has received their seventh Badge. At this point, it is revealed through his Holo Caster message that he is the leader of [[Team Flare]], and that he plans to use the weapon which he spoke about earlier in order to eliminate anyone not part of Team Flare, surprising both the player and their neighbor. The player later confronts Lysandre in person at the lab beneath his café as he wishes to test the player's resolve, and is then battled and defeated. Lysandre admires the player's resolve and strength and instructs them that if they wish to stop him, he must get the elevator key from one of four Team Flare's scientists the player already met, while he retreats underground.

After the player obtains the Key and descends further into the lab, they meet with Lysandre who is speaking with a tall man behind bars known as AZ. Lysandre introduces AZ as someone who "shares the name of the previous King of Kalos" as well as possessing the key of the ultimate weapon. After AZ tells the player the tragedy left by the ultimate weapon and asks them to stop the device from being used, Lysandre invites the player deeper underground if they wish to stop him. The player descends and meets Lysandre talking with [[Xerosic]]. Lysandre then tells the player to battle Xerosic, and if they are successful against the scientist, then they will stop their scheme. After the player defeats Xerosic, he has them push one of two buttons, one of which activates the weapon. However, pushing the correct one unfortunately does not stop Xerosic from unleashing the weapon on Kalos. (If the player chooses the blue button he will activate the weapon by remote control, otherwise the player activates the weapon.)

Lysandre is later found again at the site of the ultimate weapon in [[Geosenge Town]] where the player's rival questions him about his extreme measures to fix the world, which he replies that they are the only possible solution for he thinks humans are inherently evil and greedy. He uses the analogy of them competing over their [[Mega Ring]] as an example that when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, for someone must live with it and some without and as such, more tragedies are likely to happen and therefore, the only solution is to reduce the human population. When further questioned about Pokémon, he tearfully claims that Pokémon, while magnificent beings, are condemned to be used by humans and, for the greater good, are best annihilated.

He is then battled again as he simply seeks to stall for time against the player. The player defeats Lysandre once again, and he shows further admiration for the player's strength. He then challenges the player to travel deeper into the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop the weapon despite his belief that it is already too late, but multiple members of Team Flare are waiting in ambush on the lower floors. After defeating them, the player reaches Xerneas or Yveltal. The legendary Pokémon is then battled and caught by the player, seemingly disabling the weapon. Lysandre returns wearing a cybernetic suit, called the '''Lysandre Machine''', that is intended to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} energy back into the Ultimate Weapon, and he declares that he will take the legendary Pokémon back and complete his plan. Now wielding a Mega Ring of his own, he engages the player in a final battle.
[[File:Lysandre Loses XY.png|frame|Lysandre losing to the player]]
After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and their friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to 'force immortality on the player, their friends, and himself'{{sup/6|X}}/'kill everyone in the building'{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. Hearing this, the player and their friends quickly leave, after which the blast from the weapon destroys the building and seemingly buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble, putting an end to Team Flare's threat.

Later on in the game, an NPC in [[Snowbelle City]] who is an old friend of Lysandre mentions that Lysandre had noble intentions and did his best to help people in need, but was eventually convinced of humanity's stupidity, along with his own limitations which resulted in him becoming a misanthrope.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
=====[[Episode RR]]=====
An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Lysandre appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] is one of the second pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Cyrus]]. Like the other {{cat|villainous team leaders}} in Team Rainbow Rocket, this Lysandre was summoned from a world where his plans succeeded. However, as he explains to the player, a bright light consumed him when he fired the [[ultimate weapon]] and was transported to the game's world. He has his {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s set up devices with red and blue buttons in his office within [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. Then, he subjects the player to the same choice the player in Kalos was subjected to, claiming that one button will activate the ultimate weapon and the other will open the path to [[Giovanni]]. However, no matter which button the player chooses, it will be the one that activates the weapon. Lysandre then tells the player that pushing the opposite button will prevent it from firing. However, in order to buy time for the weapon to fire, Lysandre battles the player, using Xerneas{{sup/7|US}}/Yveltal{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. When he is defeated, he allows the player to press the other button, ostensibly shutting down the ultimate weapon, as well as unlocking one of the two seals needed to reach Giovanni. Lysandre then wonders if things would have been different in his world if he had met a Trainer like the player. He then rejects that line of thought, resolving that he must bring about his beautiful world. He is later sent back to his own world by [[Colress]] off-screen.

===={{g|Legends: Z-A}}====
It is revealed that Lysandre survived his supposed demise in [[Pokémon X and Y]] thanks to Zygarde, but has become slightly amnesiac. Due to the ultimate weapon, he has taken on a similar affliction to AZ and become cursed with the longevity of three thousand years. His hair has become shorter and paler, and his left eye appears to have blinded.

Lysandre first meets the player under the pseudonym of "'''L'''". He warns the player about the coming crisis in Lumiose City and tells them that they must become a Trainer worthy of Zygarde's trust in order to stop it. Later on, he helps by gathering all of Zygarde's Cells in order for it to assume its Complete Forme and defeat the rogue machine, [[Ange]].

After the player's first reward match in the Infinite [[Z-A Royale]], L comes to [[Hotel Z]] to speak with them about AZ, telling them about how the two had talked about the agony of being unable to die and about AZ's good and heinous deeds, including Ange. L surmises that Ange's influence resulted in more wild Pokémon gathering throughout Lumiose, wondering if it is right that people and Pokémon are kept at arm's length of each other with the city's holo-tech barriers. He wonders if people will find another way, stating that he looks forward to seeing what the people of Lumiose choose. L then explains that more of his memory returned following his conversation with the player in Lysandre Labs, having recalled the existence of Xerneas and Yveltal. He also informs them that since Ange was destroyed, Zygarde has not shown itself, likely due to it having exhausted its power and retreated somewhere to quietly recover. L requests the player to find Xerneas and Yveltal.

After the player catches Xerneas and Yveltal, L appears before the player outside Hotel Z. He explains that he knows that he tried to give too much to the world in the past, and because his good deeds saw no reward, he wallowed in despair and resentment and decided to take everything for himself instead. He explains how Zygarde seeks to correct excess and restore balance to the world, believing that to be the reason Zygarde rescued him. L then challenges the player to a battle.

====History====
[[File:Lysandre anime.png|thumb|250px|Lysandre in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'']]
Lysandre debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. Though he was not identified as the caller at the time, he contacted [[Alain]] via the [[Holo Caster]], directing him to where a new Mega Stone could be found. He also was seen observing the power of Alain's Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X during its battle with [[Siebold]]'s Mega {{p|Blastoise}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Lysandre traveled to [[Hoenn]], intervened in Alain's battle with {{Steven}}, and introduced Alain and Steven properly to each other. It was revealed that in the past, he defeated Alain in a battle over an [[Ampharosite]], then took Alain to [[Lysandre Labs]] and recruited him to work in a project to harness the energy of Mega Evolution for peaceful purposes. Lysandre was also the one who awarded Alain his Mega Ring and Charizardite X, though he asked Alain to not tell Professor Sycamore of the research, fearing that people with bad intentions would bring harm to him in order to obtain it. Later, he traveled with Alain, [[Mairin]], and Steven to a ruin, where they uncovered an ancient [[Giant Rock]]. However, his research on the Giant Rock accidentally summoned {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}, who destroyed the area. After the encounter with Rayquaza, Lysandre discovered a similar energy reading to the Giant Rock near [[Rustboro City]], and asked Alain to go there and investigate. He also covertly ordered Alain to keep a close eye on Steven, for the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} had precious information on Mega Evolution.
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Lysandre]]
In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Lysandre gave instructions to Alain and Steven. After Mega Rayquaza defeated both [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}}, he had the Giant Rock, which had reappeared during the battle of the Legendary Pokémon, taken away with his submarine for further studies.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Lysandre observed Alain's battles against ten Mega Evolution Trainers while his scientists researched the Giant Rock. After [[Chespie]], Mairin's {{p|Chespin}}, who had interfered with the experiments performed on a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, was hospitalized, Lysandre told the victorious Alain that he had to continue gather data on Mega Evolution if Chespie was to recover. He was also shown to be close to Malva, who served as Alain's final opponent.

Lysandre has a major antagonistic role in [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]], first making appearances in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' and ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', where he was studying [[Squishy]] alongside [[Xerosic]].

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Lysandre was contacted by Alain via the Holo Caster, who wanted to know if Mairin's Chespie's condition had improved or not. Later, he reappeared in [[XY107|the next episode]], overseeing the operation to capture [[Z2]] alongside Xerosic. At the end of the episode, he received Z2.

Lysandre reappeared in ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'' and ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', where he received mission reports from Xerosic.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Lysandre was talking to a man inside a building at the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He soon got a call on a Holo Caster that an {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} was holding, from Xerosic, who was in the front seat of a truck that was just outside the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Later on at night, he met {{Ash}} for the first time and discussed the capability of [[Ash's Greninja]] to take on its different form in battle. After his conversation with him, he was shown with an annoyed expression, before turning towards the Lumiose Gym and smirked. Lysandre later talked to Mairin after she ran up to him and he put on a happy expression. The next day, Lysandre was seated in a private viewing box inside the Lumiose Conference's stadium with a glass window, along with Mairin and the same Admin, and they all watched as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.
[[File:Lysandre Machine anime.png|thumb|250px|Wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]
In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre watched Ash and Alain's battle in the finals of the Lumiose Conference. Towards the end of the latter episode, his true egotistical, narcissistic nature is revealed as he uses the power of Z2 to bring the whole of Kalos into his control, taking over Lumiose City and subsequently the Lumiose Conference, which had just been concluded.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre revealed himself as the leader of Team Flare to a captured Ash. He also televised a message to the citizens of Kalos about his plan for creating a new, beautiful world for Team Flare.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Lysandre explained his motivations. Much like in the games, he once had a generous nature and would help those in need. However, after those he supported grew accustomed to his aid and turned greedy, he became disillusioned with the human race. Because of this, he intended to "restart" the world, and he attempted to control Ash and Greninja the same way he did with Zygarde, so that Ash could become the guide of the new world. Ash, however, defied Lysandre and used the [[Bond Phenomenon]] to break free. Following this turn of events, Lysandre equipped his machine and started a fight with Ash and the defecting Alain using his Pyroar and his Shiny Mega Gyarados. Pyroar was defeated through a joint attack by {{AP|Noivern}}, {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Lysandre defeated the majority of Ash's team. He was surprised when Malva appeared to help Alain and Ash, but nonetheless remained confident even after Clemont and Bonnie freed the two Zygarde under his control.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was finally beaten by Ash and Alain. Refusing to surrender, Lysandre seemingly killed himself by jumping off the tower. It was afterwards revealed that Lysandre had planned for the Giant Rock to transform into a copy of Zygarde, which would engulf the [[Anistar City]] Sundial and release enough energy to wipe out all life on the planet.

He made one final appearance in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. After the Giant Rock was temporarily stopped by Ash, Alain, Steven, Malva, [[Diantha]], and all of the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Chespie]] was freed from it's control, Lysandre appears and revives the Rock himself using a control device announcing he still intends to destroy the world even if it means he has to die too. He lost control of the Rock after the device was destroyed by Ash and Alain, and was defeated entirely by Squishy and Z2 after they transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and destroyed the Giant Rock. The explosion from Zygarde's {{m|Core Enforcer}} engulfs Lysandre, leaving his final fate unclear.

Lysandre appeared in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'', where he announced the release of the [[Holo Caster]]. In the process, he was depicted as a popular and successful businessman. He was later seen discussing with [[Diantha]] about the concept of eternal beauty. Afterwards, he was interviewed by some reporters over his involvement with some secret plans, but he didn't reveal any information. Lysandre was then seen at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], conducting experiments on {{p|Yveltal}} in the hopes of creating a more beautiful world.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lysandre Malva Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Lysandre in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Lysandre Machine Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lysandre wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{MangaArc|X & Y}}=====
Lysandre debuted in ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]''. He was first seen in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab, watching a video of the battle between [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} in [[Vaniville Town]]. He then asked for a copy of the footage for further study.

In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Professor Sycamore sent {{adv|Trevor}} and his friends to [[Lysandre Labs|Lysandre Café]] to get repairs for Trevor's [[Holo Caster]]. The group was introduced to Lysandre, but Trevor became suspicious of the man after seeing his silhouette in a photo taken during the Vaniville incident. Noting Trevor's strange behavior, Lysandre asked to see the photo, even using his Pokémon to surround the group when Trevor refused. [[Diantha]] arrived and used her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to defend Trevor's group. Lysandre backed off and left to answer a call from [[Xerosic]], who had discovered the location of Xerneas's tree form.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Lysandre returned to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] after Xerneas's tree form had been successfully transported. He received the Lysandre Machine, which [[Clemont]] was forced to build, and a Mega Ring, which had its [[Key Stone]] stolen from [[Korrina]]. Lysandre and Xerosic began draining Xerneas of its life energy to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. {{adv|X}} later broke into the building to put an end to [[Team Flare]]'s ambitions. He found the ultimate weapon's control room and confronted Lysandre, who used his Mega Ring to Mega Evolve his {{p|Gyarados}}. During their battle, X had his [[Élec]] use its {{a|Lightning Rod}} to pull electricity from the ultimate weapon's absorber into its tail, draining the machine of its power. This allowed Xerneas to awaken from its slumber and revert back to normal.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', Trevor, {{adv|Tierno}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, [[Clemont]], [[Emma]], and [[AZ]] arrived at the control room, where they found X had already been defeated. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key but were unable to pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X and his friends successfully weakened the ultimate weapon, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. AZ stayed behind to allow Xerneas to escape back to the surface with X and the others. When Malva attempted to confront X's group with Yveltal, Lysandre ordered a ceasefire due to it and Xerneas being evenly matched. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking X and the others with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Team Flare was revealed to have blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on X's friends and the Gym Leaders. They moved operations to the [[Pokémon Village]] to keep a low profile. When Xerosic later discovered the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} are an older form of the absorber, Team Flare began using them to drain the life energy of the Pokémon living at the village. These actions earned Team Flare the anger of {{adv|Mewtwo}}, who protected the Pokémon Village. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', X and {{adv|Blue}} found Lysandre in battle with Mewtwo at the village. Hoping to have Mewtwo weakened enough for capture, Lysandre tried to trick it into attacking X and Blue, only for {{adv|Blaine}} to arrive and Mega Evolve Mewtwo into its Y form.

In ''[[PS591|Mewtwo Angered]]'', Lysandre summoned [[Emma|Essentia]] and used a device to control her like a puppet. By talking into the device, Essentia would repeat Lysandre's words, allowing him to command the {{adv|Zygarde}} she had caught earlier. While Blaine and Mewtwo kept Zygarde still, X defeated Essentia, uncovering her true identity as his friend Emma. With some words of encouragement from X and [[Cassius]], Emma betrayed Lysandre, but was attacked by his Gyarados before she could command Zygarde. Lysandre took Zygarde's [[Poké Ball]], only for {{adv|Y}} to arrive and take his Mega Ring. Although he was angered by this, Lysandre made an announcement to the entire Kalos region, informing the public of Team Flare's plan to destroy everything with the ultimate weapon. By borrowing Key Stones from his allies, X was able to activate Mega Evolution for his entire team at once.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Lysandre used Zygarde to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. As the battle went on, X's friends noticed Zygarde's body was breaking apart due to Xerneas and Yveltal reverting to their tree and cocoon forms. Once they fully reverted, X had his team launch one final attack, fully separating Zygarde. Malva attempted to save Lysandre from falling, only for both to land onto the rubble below. Heavily injured, Lysandre weakly asked Malva why the ultimate weapon had not yet been fired. Afterward, Blaine revealed Lysandre was alive, but had sustained severe injuries to his spinal cord.

====={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}=====
Lysandre reappeared in a flashback as a silhouette when Sina and Dexio were explaining Zygarde's presence in Alola.

==Trivia==
* Lysandre shares three Pokémon with [[Cyrus]], another leader of a [[Team Galactic|villainous team]]: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Honchkrow}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}. Their goals are also similar; both involve trying to wipe out everyone for some purpose and using [[Legendary Pokémon]] to achieve it.
** [[Xerosic]] and [[Mable]], two of his top scientists, possess a {{p|Crobat}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Weavile}}, respectively; all Pokémon that Cyrus had.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Lysandre Machine's functions are different: the "bugs" attached to the backpack piece are able to shoot beams of Mega Evolution energy, while the gauntlet is used to control the [[Giant Rock]]. Additionally, the pieces of the suit are capable of flight and can carry Lysandre into the air while he is wearing them.
* Lysandre's Gyarados knows {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Outrage}}, which it cannot learn in {{g|X and Y}}. The only way for Gyarados to know these moves in Pokémon X and Y is through [[Move Tutor]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}} before being transferred through [[Pokémon Bank]], or through a Move Tutor in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the latter of which wasn't available at the time of X and Y's release.
* The background story of Lysandre told by an NPC in Snowbelle City is similar to the manga ''{{wp|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind}}'', where a king, who wants to save humanity and wanting peace for his peasants, eventually realizes their stupidity and grows to hate them, eventually becoming a tyrant.
* Lysandre's hairstyle was stylized to somewhat resemble a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences#Pyroar|male]] {{p|Pyroar}}'s mane, one of his Pokémon.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader to debut in a special episode of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and also the first to have a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
** In ''Pokémon the Series'', Lysandre is not Professor Sycamore's former pupil. Instead, the two only meet for the first time during the events of the {{aniseries|XY|''XY'' series}} special, ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.
* When Lysandre is defeated for the last time in X and Y, the {{player}} performs a unique victory pose.
* Lysandre's visor can be seen on his desk in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], though he does not wear it at any point as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in the [[core series]] who never wears his team's insignia on his clothing.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in ''Pokémon the Series'' whom {{Ash}} defeated in a battle.
** He was also the first villainous team leader in the animated series since {{an|Giovanni}} to be shown to use Pokémon of his own, instead of just controlling one or more Legendary Pokémon.

'''Lysandre''' (Japanese: '''フラダリ''' ''Fuladari'') is the boss of [[Team Flare]] and the main antagonist of [[Pokémon X and Y]]. He is also a philanthropist and owner of [[Lysandre Labs]], the company that created the [[Holo Caster]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Flare Boss''' (Japanese: '''フレアだんボス''' ''Team Flare Boss'').

He seeks to wipe out most of the world population in order to return the {{pkmn|world|planet}} to a "beautiful", unspoiled state; what he implies is a world without 'negative' or 'ugly' concepts, such as strife, struggle, war, or despair.<ref name="Pokémon.com 2017-11-02">Lysandre is the boss of Team Flare, the villainous organization that appeared in ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y''. He is, by nature, a man of deep sympathies—but has been driven to despair by watching humans fighting and struggling against one another, and he comes to believe that the only way for people to live in beauty, without strife or struggle, is by reducing the number of people living in the world. He restored the ultimate weapon, which had been sealed away 3000 years earlier, and then, using the power of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas or Yveltal, he attempted to eradicate life.</ref>

==In the core series games==
===History===
Lysandre is descended from Kalos royalty and old friends with [[Professor Sycamore]].<ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry... He truly is a chosen one."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> As the rich owner of a technology company, Lysandre was a philanthropist who often made donations to better the world.<ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> One of the people he helped was a young [[Corbeau]], who would come to idolize Lysandre for his generosity. As time wore on and Lysandre witnessed the ugliness of people and the world, and found that his charities and donations weren't doing as much good as he had hoped. He gradually turned into a misanthrope who saw no hope for the future because of human "uginess".<ref>'''Lysandre:''' ''I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> He would come to blame the expanding human population for this, deciding that conflict came from people being unable to share limited resources.<ref>'''Lysandre:''' ''"When there is only one of something, it can't be shared. When something can't be shared, it will be fought over. And when something is fought over, some must survive without it. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft, is to reduce the number of living things."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref>

===={{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Lysandre meeting Player XY.png|thumb|250px|left|Lysandre meeting the player at Sycamore's lab]]
The player first meets Lysandre in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in [[Lumiose City]] seeing potential in them, and then later in Café Soleil where he is seen talking to [[Diantha]] about her acting career. He discusses with her about the idea of eternal beauty, but she quickly dismisses the idea, claiming that she does not look for such a thing, much to Lysandre's annoyance. After this, he spots the player, where he speaks about his dream of a beautiful world.

Following this, Lysandre doesn't reappear until much later, after the player has defeated [[Clemont]] for their fifth Badge. This time, he speaks about the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] who nearly vaporized all life in the region 3,000 years ago by usage of a weapon. He also speaks about Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} role in the creation of the [[ultimate weapon]], as well as their role in the creation of life and destruction as a whole. After this, Lysandre will regularly communicate with the player through the [[Holo Caster]], monitoring their progress, and constantly showing his vision for a beautiful world as well as asking them to reconsider his proposal and join him on his cause.

Lysandre then appears after the player has received their seventh Badge. At this point, it is revealed through his Holo Caster message that he is the leader of [[Team Flare]], and that he plans to use the weapon which he spoke about earlier in order to eliminate anyone not part of Team Flare, surprising both the player and their neighbor. The player later confronts Lysandre in person at the lab beneath his café as he wishes to test the player's resolve, and is then battled and defeated. Lysandre admires the player's resolve and strength and instructs them that if they wish to stop him, he must get the elevator key from one of four Team Flare's scientists the player already met, while he retreats underground.

After the player obtains the Key and descends further into the lab, they meet with Lysandre who is speaking with a tall man behind bars known as AZ. Lysandre introduces AZ as someone who "shares the name of the previous King of Kalos" as well as possessing the key of the ultimate weapon. After AZ tells the player the tragedy left by the ultimate weapon and asks them to stop the device from being used, Lysandre invites the player deeper underground if they wish to stop him. The player descends and meets Lysandre talking with [[Xerosic]]. Lysandre then tells the player to battle Xerosic, and if they are successful against the scientist, then they will stop their scheme. After the player defeats Xerosic, he has them push one of two buttons, one of which activates the weapon. However, pushing the correct one unfortunately does not stop Xerosic from unleashing the weapon on Kalos. (If the player chooses the blue button he will activate the weapon by remote control, otherwise the player activates the weapon.)

Lysandre is later found again at the site of the ultimate weapon in [[Geosenge Town]] where the player's rival questions him about his extreme measures to fix the world, which he replies that they are the only possible solution for he thinks humans are inherently evil and greedy. He uses the analogy of them competing over their [[Mega Ring]] as an example that when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, for someone must live with it and some without and as such, more tragedies are likely to happen and therefore, the only solution is to reduce the human population. When further questioned about Pokémon, he tearfully claims that Pokémon, while magnificent beings, are condemned to be used by humans and, for the greater good, are best annihilated.

He is then battled again as he simply seeks to stall for time against the player. The player defeats Lysandre once again, and he shows further admiration for the player's strength. He then challenges the player to travel deeper into the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop the weapon despite his belief that it is already too late, but multiple members of Team Flare are waiting in ambush on the lower floors. After defeating them, the player reaches Xerneas or Yveltal. The legendary Pokémon is then battled and caught by the player, seemingly disabling the weapon. Lysandre returns wearing a cybernetic suit, called the '''Lysandre Machine''', that is intended to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} energy back into the Ultimate Weapon, and he declares that he will take the legendary Pokémon back and complete his plan. Now wielding a Mega Ring of his own, he engages the player in a final battle.
[[File:Lysandre Loses XY.png|frame|Lysandre losing to the player]]
After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and their friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to 'force immortality on the player, their friends, and himself'{{sup/6|X}}/'kill everyone in the building'{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. Hearing this, the player and their friends quickly leave, after which the blast from the weapon destroys the building and seemingly buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble, putting an end to Team Flare's threat.

Later on in the game, an NPC in [[Snowbelle City]] who is an old friend of Lysandre mentions that Lysandre had noble intentions and did his best to help people in need, but was eventually convinced of humanity's stupidity, along with his own limitations which resulted in him becoming a misanthrope.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
=====[[Episode RR]]=====
An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Lysandre appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] is one of the second pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Cyrus]]. Like the other {{cat|villainous team leaders}} in Team Rainbow Rocket, this Lysandre was summoned from a world where his plans succeeded. However, as he explains to the player, a bright light consumed him when he fired the [[ultimate weapon]] and was transported to the game's world. He has his {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s set up devices with red and blue buttons in his office within [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. Then, he subjects the player to the same choice the player in Kalos was subjected to, claiming that one button will activate the ultimate weapon and the other will open the path to [[Giovanni]]. However, no matter which button the player chooses, it will be the one that activates the weapon. Lysandre then tells the player that pushing the opposite button will prevent it from firing. However, in order to buy time for the weapon to fire, Lysandre battles the player, using Xerneas{{sup/7|US}}/Yveltal{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. When he is defeated, he allows the player to press the other button, ostensibly shutting down the ultimate weapon, as well as unlocking one of the two seals needed to reach Giovanni. Lysandre then wonders if things would have been different in his world if he had met a Trainer like the player. He then rejects that line of thought, resolving that he must bring about his beautiful world. He is later sent back to his own world by [[Colress]] off-screen.

===={{g|Legends: Z-A}}====
It is revealed that Lysandre survived his supposed demise in [[Pokémon X and Y]] thanks to Zygarde, but has become slightly amnesiac. Due to the ultimate weapon, he has taken on a similar affliction to AZ and become cursed with the longevity of three thousand years. His hair has become shorter and paler, and his left eye appears to have blinded.

Lysandre first meets the player under the pseudonym of "'''L'''". He warns the player about the coming crisis in Lumiose City and tells them that they must become a Trainer worthy of Zygarde's trust in order to stop it. Later on, he helps by gathering all of Zygarde's Cells in order for it to assume its Complete Forme and defeat the rogue machine, [[Ange]].

After the player's first reward match in the Infinite [[Z-A Royale]], L comes to [[Hotel Z]] to speak with them about AZ, telling them about how the two had talked about the agony of being unable to die and about AZ's good and heinous deeds, including Ange. L surmises that Ange's influence resulted in more wild Pokémon gathering throughout Lumiose, wondering if it is right that people and Pokémon are kept at arm's length of each other with the city's holo-tech barriers. He wonders if people will find another way, stating that he looks forward to seeing what the people of Lumiose choose. L then explains that more of his memory returned following his conversation with the player in Lysandre Labs, having recalled the existence of Xerneas and Yveltal. He also informs them that since Ange was destroyed, Zygarde has not shown itself, likely due to it having exhausted its power and retreated somewhere to quietly recover. L requests the player to find Xerneas and Yveltal.

After the player catches Xerneas and Yveltal, L appears before the player outside Hotel Z. He explains that he knows that he tried to give too much to the world in the past, and because his good deeds saw no reward, he wallowed in despair and resentment and decided to take everything for himself instead. He explains how Zygarde seeks to correct excess and restore balance to the world, believing that to be the reason Zygarde rescued him. L then challenges the player to a battle.

====History====
[[File:Lysandre anime.png|thumb|250px|Lysandre in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'']]
Lysandre debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. Though he was not identified as the caller at the time, he contacted [[Alain]] via the [[Holo Caster]], directing him to where a new Mega Stone could be found. He also was seen observing the power of Alain's Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X during its battle with [[Siebold]]'s Mega {{p|Blastoise}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Lysandre traveled to [[Hoenn]], intervened in Alain's battle with {{Steven}}, and introduced Alain and Steven properly to each other. It was revealed that in the past, he defeated Alain in a battle over an [[Ampharosite]], then took Alain to [[Lysandre Labs]] and recruited him to work in a project to harness the energy of Mega Evolution for peaceful purposes. Lysandre was also the one who awarded Alain his Mega Ring and Charizardite X, though he asked Alain to not tell Professor Sycamore of the research, fearing that people with bad intentions would bring harm to him in order to obtain it. Later, he traveled with Alain, [[Mairin]], and Steven to a ruin, where they uncovered an ancient [[Giant Rock]]. However, his research on the Giant Rock accidentally summoned {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}, who destroyed the area. After the encounter with Rayquaza, Lysandre discovered a similar energy reading to the Giant Rock near [[Rustboro City]], and asked Alain to go there and investigate. He also covertly ordered Alain to keep a close eye on Steven, for the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} had precious information on Mega Evolution.
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Lysandre]]
In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Lysandre gave instructions to Alain and Steven. After Mega Rayquaza defeated both [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}}, he had the Giant Rock, which had reappeared during the battle of the Legendary Pokémon, taken away with his submarine for further studies.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Lysandre observed Alain's battles against ten Mega Evolution Trainers while his scientists researched the Giant Rock. After [[Chespie]], Mairin's {{p|Chespin}}, who had interfered with the experiments performed on a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, was hospitalized, Lysandre told the victorious Alain that he had to continue gather data on Mega Evolution if Chespie was to recover. He was also shown to be close to Malva, who served as Alain's final opponent.

Lysandre has a major antagonistic role in [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]], first making appearances in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' and ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', where he was studying [[Squishy]] alongside [[Xerosic]].

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Lysandre was contacted by Alain via the Holo Caster, who wanted to know if Mairin's Chespie's condition had improved or not. Later, he reappeared in [[XY107|the next episode]], overseeing the operation to capture [[Z2]] alongside Xerosic. At the end of the episode, he received Z2.

Lysandre reappeared in ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'' and ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', where he received mission reports from Xerosic.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Lysandre was talking to a man inside a building at the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He soon got a call on a Holo Caster that an {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} was holding, from Xerosic, who was in the front seat of a truck that was just outside the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Later on at night, he met {{Ash}} for the first time and discussed the capability of [[Ash's Greninja]] to take on its different form in battle. After his conversation with him, he was shown with an annoyed expression, before turning towards the Lumiose Gym and smirked. Lysandre later talked to Mairin after she ran up to him and he put on a happy expression. The next day, Lysandre was seated in a private viewing box inside the Lumiose Conference's stadium with a glass window, along with Mairin and the same Admin, and they all watched as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.
[[File:Lysandre Machine anime.png|thumb|250px|Wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]
In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre watched Ash and Alain's battle in the finals of the Lumiose Conference. Towards the end of the latter episode, his true egotistical, narcissistic nature is revealed as he uses the power of Z2 to bring the whole of Kalos into his control, taking over Lumiose City and subsequently the Lumiose Conference, which had just been concluded.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre revealed himself as the leader of Team Flare to a captured Ash. He also televised a message to the citizens of Kalos about his plan for creating a new, beautiful world for Team Flare.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Lysandre explained his motivations. Much like in the games, he once had a generous nature and would help those in need. However, after those he supported grew accustomed to his aid and turned greedy, he became disillusioned with the human race. Because of this, he intended to "restart" the world, and he attempted to control Ash and Greninja the same way he did with Zygarde, so that Ash could become the guide of the new world. Ash, however, defied Lysandre and used the [[Bond Phenomenon]] to break free. Following this turn of events, Lysandre equipped his machine and started a fight with Ash and the defecting Alain using his Pyroar and his Shiny Mega Gyarados. Pyroar was defeated through a joint attack by {{AP|Noivern}}, {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Lysandre defeated the majority of Ash's team. He was surprised when Malva appeared to help Alain and Ash, but nonetheless remained confident even after Clemont and Bonnie freed the two Zygarde under his control.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was finally beaten by Ash and Alain. Refusing to surrender, Lysandre seemingly killed himself by jumping off the tower. It was afterwards revealed that Lysandre had planned for the Giant Rock to transform into a copy of Zygarde, which would engulf the [[Anistar City]] Sundial and release enough energy to wipe out all life on the planet.

He made one final appearance in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. After the Giant Rock was temporarily stopped by Ash, Alain, Steven, Malva, [[Diantha]], and all of the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Chespie]] was freed from it's control, Lysandre appears and revives the Rock himself using a control device announcing he still intends to destroy the world even if it means he has to die too. He lost control of the Rock after the device was destroyed by Ash and Alain, and was defeated entirely by Squishy and Z2 after they transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and destroyed the Giant Rock. The explosion from Zygarde's {{m|Core Enforcer}} engulfs Lysandre, leaving his final fate unclear.

After being easily defeated, he briefly recalled his conversations with [[Professor Sycamore]] and [[Diantha]] about mortality and beauty. He then fired the [[ultimate weapon]] in an attempt to force immortality on himself, Calem, {{ga|Serena}}, and [[Shauna]]. The weapon fired as the Trainers escaped, leaving his fate unknown. One week later, [[Malva]] discussed his legacy on the [[Holo Caster]].

[[File:Lysandre Machine Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lysandre wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{MangaArc|X & Y}}=====
Lysandre debuted in ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]''. He was first seen in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab, watching a video of the battle between [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} in [[Vaniville Town]]. He then asked for a copy of the footage for further study.

In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Professor Sycamore sent {{adv|Trevor}} and his friends to [[Lysandre Labs|Lysandre Café]] to get repairs for Trevor's [[Holo Caster]]. The group was introduced to Lysandre, but Trevor became suspicious of the man after seeing his silhouette in a photo taken during the Vaniville incident. Noting Trevor's strange behavior, Lysandre asked to see the photo, even using his Pokémon to surround the group when Trevor refused. [[Diantha]] arrived and used her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to defend Trevor's group. Lysandre backed off and left to answer a call from [[Xerosic]], who had discovered the location of Xerneas's tree form.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Lysandre returned to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] after Xerneas's tree form had been successfully transported. He received the Lysandre Machine, which [[Clemont]] was forced to build, and a Mega Ring, which had its [[Key Stone]] stolen from [[Korrina]]. Lysandre and Xerosic began draining Xerneas of its life energy to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. {{adv|X}} later broke into the building to put an end to [[Team Flare]]'s ambitions. He found the ultimate weapon's control room and confronted Lysandre, who used his Mega Ring to Mega Evolve his {{p|Gyarados}}. During their battle, X had his [[Élec]] use its {{a|Lightning Rod}} to pull electricity from the ultimate weapon's absorber into its tail, draining the machine of its power. This allowed Xerneas to awaken from its slumber and revert back to normal.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', Trevor, {{adv|Tierno}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, [[Clemont]], [[Emma]], and [[AZ]] arrived at the control room, where they found X had already been defeated. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key but were unable to pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X and his friends successfully weakened the ultimate weapon, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. AZ stayed behind to allow Xerneas to escape back to the surface with X and the others. When Malva attempted to confront X's group with Yveltal, Lysandre ordered a ceasefire due to it and Xerneas being evenly matched. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking X and the others with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Team Flare was revealed to have blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on X's friends and the Gym Leaders. They moved operations to the [[Pokémon Village]] to keep a low profile. When Xerosic later discovered the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} are an older form of the absorber, Team Flare began using them to drain the life energy of the Pokémon living at the village. These actions earned Team Flare the anger of {{adv|Mewtwo}}, who protected the Pokémon Village. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', X and {{adv|Blue}} found Lysandre in battle with Mewtwo at the village. Hoping to have Mewtwo weakened enough for capture, Lysandre tried to trick it into attacking X and Blue, only for {{adv|Blaine}} to arrive and Mega Evolve Mewtwo into its Y form.

In ''[[PS591|Mewtwo Angered]]'', Lysandre summoned [[Emma|Essentia]] and used a device to control her like a puppet. By talking into the device, Essentia would repeat Lysandre's words, allowing him to command the {{adv|Zygarde}} she had caught earlier. While Blaine and Mewtwo kept Zygarde still, X defeated Essentia, uncovering her true identity as his friend Emma. With some words of encouragement from X and [[Cassius]], Emma betrayed Lysandre, but was attacked by his Gyarados before she could command Zygarde. Lysandre took Zygarde's [[Poké Ball]], only for {{adv|Y}} to arrive and take his Mega Ring. Although he was angered by this, Lysandre made an announcement to the entire Kalos region, informing the public of Team Flare's plan to destroy everything with the ultimate weapon. By borrowing Key Stones from his allies, X was able to activate Mega Evolution for his entire team at once.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Lysandre used Zygarde to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. As the battle went on, X's friends noticed Zygarde's body was breaking apart due to Xerneas and Yveltal reverting to their tree and cocoon forms. Once they fully reverted, X had his team launch one final attack, fully separating Zygarde. Malva attempted to save Lysandre from falling, only for both to land onto the rubble below. Heavily injured, Lysandre weakly asked Malva why the ultimate weapon had not yet been fired. Afterward, Blaine revealed Lysandre was alive, but had sustained severe injuries to his spinal cord.

Later, Lysandre talks to Gyarados about how he will be able to one day Mega Evolve now that he has his respective Mega Stone.

With Lysandre's Mega Ring, which had his Key Stone stolen from Korrina, Gyarados can Mega Evolve into Mega Gyarados. He lost the ability to Mega Evolve after Lysandre's Mega Ring was taken.

|desc={{p|Zygarde}}, also known as Kalos's "Overseer" (Japanese: '''監視者''' ''Watcher''), was captured by Essentia in [[Anistar City]]. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, {{adv|Blue}}, and Blaine. After Emma was freed from Lysandre's control, Lysandre had Gyarados attack Emma so that he may take Zygarde's Poké Ball, giving him full control over it. Once [[Xerxer]] and {{p|Yveltal}} reverted to their dormant forms, Zygarde had no reason to stay, so its body began breaking apart. X's Mega-Evolved team used a combined attack to fully break apart Zygarde, leading to Lysandre's defeat.}}

==Trivia==
* Lysandre shares three Pokémon with [[Cyrus]], another leader of a [[Team Galactic|villainous team]]: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Honchkrow}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}. Their goals are also similar; both involve trying to wipe out everyone for some purpose and using [[Legendary Pokémon]] to achieve it.
** [[Xerosic]] and [[Mable]], two of his top scientists, possess a {{p|Crobat}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Weavile}}, respectively; all Pokémon that Cyrus had.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Lysandre Machine's functions are different: the "bugs" attached to the backpack piece are able to shoot beams of Mega Evolution energy, while the gauntlet is used to control the [[Giant Rock]]. Additionally, the pieces of the suit are capable of flight and can carry Lysandre into the air while he is wearing them.
* Lysandre's Gyarados knows {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Outrage}}, which it cannot learn in {{g|X and Y}}. The only way for Gyarados to know these moves in Pokémon X and Y is through [[Move Tutor]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}} before being transferred through [[Pokémon Bank]], or through a Move Tutor in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the latter of which wasn't available at the time of X and Y's release.
* The background story of Lysandre told by an NPC in Snowbelle City is similar to the manga ''{{wp|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind}}'', where a king, who wants to save humanity and wanting peace for his peasants, eventually realizes their stupidity and grows to hate them, eventually becoming a tyrant.
* Lysandre's hairstyle was stylized to somewhat resemble a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences#Pyroar|male]] {{p|Pyroar}}'s mane, one of his Pokémon.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader to debut in a special episode of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and also the first to have a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
** In ''Pokémon the Series'', Lysandre is not Professor Sycamore's former pupil. Instead, the two only meet for the first time during the events of the {{aniseries|XY|''XY'' series}} special, ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.
* When Lysandre is defeated for the last time in X and Y, the {{player}} performs a unique victory pose.
* Lysandre's visor can be seen on his desk in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], though he does not wear it at any point as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in the [[core series]] who never wears his team's insignia on his clothing.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in ''Pokémon the Series'' whom {{Ash}} defeated in a battle.
** He was also the first villainous team leader in the animated series since {{an|Giovanni}} to be shown to use Pokémon of his own, instead of just controlling one or more Legendary Pokémon.

==Trivia==
*During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>
*For his first four matches the only non-Poison-type Pokémon on Corbeau's team is his [[Gyarados]]. This references his respect for [[Lysandre]], whose ace Pokémon is also Gyarados.

==Trivia==
*During the final arc of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], if the player jumps off the roof after Corbeau's human ladder falls apart, the [[Rust Syndicate]] will rebuild it and Corbeau will get mad at the player for falling. This can be repeated two additional times; an invisible wall will prevent the player from jumping off the roof a fourth time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYbr6GCIqV8 Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Falling Off After Climbing the Human Ladder]</ref>

'''Lysandre''' (Japanese: '''フラダリ''' ''Fuladari'') is the boss of [[Team Flare]] and the main antagonist of [[Pokémon X and Y]]. He is also a philanthropist and owner of [[Lysandre Labs]], the company that created the [[Holo Caster]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Flare Boss''' (Japanese: '''フレアだんボス''' ''Team Flare Boss'').

He seeks to wipe out most of the world population in order to return the {{pkmn|world|planet}} to a "beautiful", unspoiled state; what he implies is a world without 'negative' or 'ugly' concepts, such as strife, struggle, war, or despair.<ref name="Pokémon.com 2017-11-02">Lysandre is the boss of Team Flare, the villainous organization that appeared in ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y''. He is, by nature, a man of deep sympathies—but has been driven to despair by watching humans fighting and struggling against one another, and he comes to believe that the only way for people to live in beauty, without strife or struggle, is by reducing the number of people living in the world. He restored the ultimate weapon, which had been sealed away 3000 years earlier, and then, using the power of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas or Yveltal, he attempted to eradicate life.</ref>

==In the core series games==
===History===
Lysandre is descended from Kalos royalty and old friends with [[Professor Sycamore]].<ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry... He truly is a chosen one."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> As the rich owner of a technology company, Lysandre was a philanthropist who often made donations to better the world.<ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> One of the people he helped was a young [[Corbeau]], who would come to idolize Lysandre for his generosity. As time wore on and Lysandre witnessed the ugliness of people and the world, he gradually turned into a misanthrope who saw no hope for the future as long as humans continued to fight one another.<ref>'''Lysandre:''' ''I tried to save people--and the world--with the profit from this lab. But my efforts had no effect... The world was just too vast...and too full of fools that I couldn't save through my hard work alone."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> He would come to blame the expanding human population for this, deciding that conflict came from people being unable to share limited resources.<ref>'''Lysandre:''' ''"When there is only one of something, it can't be shared. When something can't be shared, it will be fought over. And when something is fought over, some must survive without it. The only way to create a world where people live in beauty, a world without conflict or theft, is to reduce the number of living things."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref>

===={{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Lysandre meeting Player XY.png|thumb|250px|left|Lysandre meeting the player at Sycamore's lab]]
The player first meets Lysandre in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in [[Lumiose City]] seeing potential in them, and then later in Café Soleil where he is seen talking to [[Diantha]] about her acting career. He discusses with her about the idea of eternal beauty, but she quickly dismisses the idea, claiming that she does not look for such a thing, much to Lysandre's annoyance. After this, he spots the player, where he speaks about his dream of a beautiful world.

Following this, Lysandre doesn't reappear until much later, after the player has defeated [[Clemont]] for their fifth Badge. This time, he speaks about the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] who nearly vaporized all life in the region 3,000 years ago by usage of a weapon. He also speaks about Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} role in the creation of the [[ultimate weapon]], as well as their role in the creation of life and destruction as a whole. After this, Lysandre will regularly communicate with the player through the [[Holo Caster]], monitoring their progress, and constantly showing his vision for a beautiful world as well as asking them to reconsider his proposal and join him on his cause.

Lysandre then appears after the player has received their seventh Badge. At this point, it is revealed through his Holo Caster message that he is the leader of [[Team Flare]], and that he plans to use the weapon which he spoke about earlier in order to eliminate anyone not part of Team Flare, surprising both the player and their neighbor. The player later confronts Lysandre in person at the lab beneath his café as he wishes to test the player's resolve, and is then battled and defeated. Lysandre admires the player's resolve and strength and instructs them that if they wish to stop him, he must get the elevator key from one of four Team Flare's scientists the player already met, while he retreats underground.

After the player obtains the Key and descends further into the lab, they meet with Lysandre who is speaking with a tall man behind bars known as AZ. Lysandre introduces AZ as someone who "shares the name of the previous King of Kalos" as well as possessing the key of the ultimate weapon. After AZ tells the player the tragedy left by the ultimate weapon and asks them to stop the device from being used, Lysandre invites the player deeper underground if they wish to stop him. The player descends and meets Lysandre talking with [[Xerosic]]. Lysandre then tells the player to battle Xerosic, and if they are successful against the scientist, then they will stop their scheme. After the player defeats Xerosic, he has them push one of two buttons, one of which activates the weapon. However, pushing the correct one unfortunately does not stop Xerosic from unleashing the weapon on Kalos. (If the player chooses the blue button he will activate the weapon by remote control, otherwise the player activates the weapon.)

Lysandre is later found again at the site of the ultimate weapon in [[Geosenge Town]] where the player's rival questions him about his extreme measures to fix the world, which he replies that they are the only possible solution for he thinks humans are inherently evil and greedy. He uses the analogy of them competing over their [[Mega Ring]] as an example that when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, for someone must live with it and some without and as such, more tragedies are likely to happen and therefore, the only solution is to reduce the human population. When further questioned about Pokémon, he tearfully claims that Pokémon, while magnificent beings, are condemned to be used by humans and, for the greater good, are best annihilated.

He is then battled again as he simply seeks to stall for time against the player. The player defeats Lysandre once again, and he shows further admiration for the player's strength. He then challenges the player to travel deeper into the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop the weapon despite his belief that it is already too late, but multiple members of Team Flare are waiting in ambush on the lower floors. After defeating them, the player reaches Xerneas or Yveltal. The legendary Pokémon is then battled and caught by the player, seemingly disabling the weapon. Lysandre returns wearing a cybernetic suit, called the '''Lysandre Machine''', that is intended to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} energy back into the Ultimate Weapon, and he declares that he will take the legendary Pokémon back and complete his plan. Now wielding a Mega Ring of his own, he engages the player in a final battle.
[[File:Lysandre Loses XY.png|frame|Lysandre losing to the player]]
After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and their friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to 'force immortality on the player, their friends, and himself'{{sup/6|X}}/'kill everyone in the building'{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. Hearing this, the player and their friends quickly leave, after which the blast from the weapon destroys the building and seemingly buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble, putting an end to Team Flare's threat.

Later on in the game, an NPC in [[Snowbelle City]] who is an old friend of Lysandre mentions that Lysandre had noble intentions and did his best to help people in need, but was eventually convinced of humanity's stupidity, along with his own limitations which resulted in him becoming a misanthrope.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
=====[[Episode RR]]=====
An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Lysandre appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] is one of the second pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Cyrus]]. Like the other {{cat|villainous team leaders}} in Team Rainbow Rocket, this Lysandre was summoned from a world where his plans succeeded. However, as he explains to the player, a bright light consumed him when he fired the [[ultimate weapon]] and was transported to the game's world. He has his {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s set up devices with red and blue buttons in his office within [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. Then, he subjects the player to the same choice the player in Kalos was subjected to, claiming that one button will activate the ultimate weapon and the other will open the path to [[Giovanni]]. However, no matter which button the player chooses, it will be the one that activates the weapon. Lysandre then tells the player that pushing the opposite button will prevent it from firing. However, in order to buy time for the weapon to fire, Lysandre battles the player, using Xerneas{{sup/7|US}}/Yveltal{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. When he is defeated, he allows the player to press the other button, ostensibly shutting down the ultimate weapon, as well as unlocking one of the two seals needed to reach Giovanni. Lysandre then wonders if things would have been different in his world if he had met a Trainer like the player. He then rejects that line of thought, resolving that he must bring about his beautiful world. He is later sent back to his own world by [[Colress]] off-screen.

===={{g|Legends: Z-A}}====
It is revealed that Lysandre survived his supposed demise in [[Pokémon X and Y]] thanks to Zygarde, but has become slightly amnesiac. Due to the ultimate weapon, he has taken on a similar affliction to AZ and become cursed with the longevity of three thousand years. His hair has become shorter and paler, and his left eye appears to have blinded.

Lysandre first meets the player under the pseudonym of "'''L'''". He warns the player about the coming crisis in Lumiose City and tells them that they must become a Trainer worthy of Zygarde's trust in order to stop it. Later on, he helps by gathering all of Zygarde's Cells in order for it to assume its Complete Forme and defeat the rogue machine, [[Ange]].

After the player's first reward match in the Infinite [[Z-A Royale]], L comes to [[Hotel Z]] to speak with them about AZ, telling them about how the two had talked about the agony of being unable to die and about AZ's good and heinous deeds, including Ange. L surmises that Ange's influence resulted in more wild Pokémon gathering throughout Lumiose, wondering if it is right that people and Pokémon are kept at arm's length of each other with the city's holo-tech barriers. He wonders if people will find another way, stating that he looks forward to seeing what the people of Lumiose choose. L then explains that more of his memory returned following his conversation with the player in Lysandre Labs, having recalled the existence of Xerneas and Yveltal. He also informs them that since Ange was destroyed, Zygarde has not shown itself, likely due to it having exhausted its power and retreated somewhere to quietly recover. L requests the player to find Xerneas and Yveltal.

After the player catches Xerneas and Yveltal, L appears before the player outside Hotel Z. He explains that he knows that he tried to give too much to the world in the past, and because his good deeds saw no reward, he wallowed in despair and resentment and decided to take everything for himself instead. He explains how Zygarde seeks to correct excess and restore balance to the world, believing that to be the reason Zygarde rescued him. L then challenges the player to a battle.

====History====
[[File:Lysandre anime.png|thumb|250px|Lysandre in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'']]
Lysandre debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. Though he was not identified as the caller at the time, he contacted [[Alain]] via the [[Holo Caster]], directing him to where a new Mega Stone could be found. He also was seen observing the power of Alain's Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X during its battle with [[Siebold]]'s Mega {{p|Blastoise}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Lysandre traveled to [[Hoenn]], intervened in Alain's battle with {{Steven}}, and introduced Alain and Steven properly to each other. It was revealed that in the past, he defeated Alain in a battle over an [[Ampharosite]], then took Alain to [[Lysandre Labs]] and recruited him to work in a project to harness the energy of Mega Evolution for peaceful purposes. Lysandre was also the one who awarded Alain his Mega Ring and Charizardite X, though he asked Alain to not tell Professor Sycamore of the research, fearing that people with bad intentions would bring harm to him in order to obtain it. Later, he traveled with Alain, [[Mairin]], and Steven to a ruin, where they uncovered an ancient [[Giant Rock]]. However, his research on the Giant Rock accidentally summoned {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}, who destroyed the area. After the encounter with Rayquaza, Lysandre discovered a similar energy reading to the Giant Rock near [[Rustboro City]], and asked Alain to go there and investigate. He also covertly ordered Alain to keep a close eye on Steven, for the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} had precious information on Mega Evolution.
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Lysandre]]
In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Lysandre gave instructions to Alain and Steven. After Mega Rayquaza defeated both [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}}, he had the Giant Rock, which had reappeared during the battle of the Legendary Pokémon, taken away with his submarine for further studies.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Lysandre observed Alain's battles against ten Mega Evolution Trainers while his scientists researched the Giant Rock. After [[Chespie]], Mairin's {{p|Chespin}}, who had interfered with the experiments performed on a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, was hospitalized, Lysandre told the victorious Alain that he had to continue gather data on Mega Evolution if Chespie was to recover. He was also shown to be close to Malva, who served as Alain's final opponent.

Lysandre has a major antagonistic role in [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]], first making appearances in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' and ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', where he was studying [[Squishy]] alongside [[Xerosic]].

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Lysandre was contacted by Alain via the Holo Caster, who wanted to know if Mairin's Chespie's condition had improved or not. Later, he reappeared in [[XY107|the next episode]], overseeing the operation to capture [[Z2]] alongside Xerosic. At the end of the episode, he received Z2.

Lysandre reappeared in ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'' and ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', where he received mission reports from Xerosic.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Lysandre was talking to a man inside a building at the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He soon got a call on a Holo Caster that an {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} was holding, from Xerosic, who was in the front seat of a truck that was just outside the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Later on at night, he met {{Ash}} for the first time and discussed the capability of [[Ash's Greninja]] to take on its different form in battle. After his conversation with him, he was shown with an annoyed expression, before turning towards the Lumiose Gym and smirked. Lysandre later talked to Mairin after she ran up to him and he put on a happy expression. The next day, Lysandre was seated in a private viewing box inside the Lumiose Conference's stadium with a glass window, along with Mairin and the same Admin, and they all watched as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.

In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre watched Ash and Alain's battle in the finals of the Lumiose Conference. Towards the end of the latter episode, his true egotistical, narcissistic nature is revealed as he uses the power of Z2 to bring the whole of Kalos into his control, taking over Lumiose City and subsequently the Lumiose Conference, which had just been concluded.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre revealed himself as the leader of Team Flare to a captured Ash. He also televised a message to the citizens of Kalos about his plan for creating a new, beautiful world for Team Flare.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Lysandre explained his motivations. Much like in the games, he once had a generous nature and would help those in need. However, after those he supported grew accustomed to his aid and turned greedy, he became disillusioned with the human race. Because of this, he intended to "restart" the world, and he attempted to control Ash and Greninja the same way he did with Zygarde, so that Ash could become the guide of the new world. Ash, however, defied Lysandre and used the [[Bond Phenomenon]] to break free. Following this turn of events, Lysandre equipped his machine and started a fight with Ash and the defecting Alain using his Pyroar and his Shiny Mega Gyarados. Pyroar was defeated through a joint attack by {{AP|Noivern}}, {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Lysandre defeated the majority of Ash's team. He was surprised when Malva appeared to help Alain and Ash, but nonetheless remained confident even after Clemont and Bonnie freed the two Zygarde under his control.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was finally beaten by Ash and Alain. Refusing to surrender, Lysandre seemingly killed himself by jumping off the tower. It was afterwards revealed that Lysandre had planned for the Giant Rock to transform into a copy of Zygarde, which would engulf the [[Anistar City]] Sundial and release enough energy to wipe out all life on the planet.

He made one final appearance in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. After the Giant Rock was temporarily stopped by Ash, Alain, Steven, Malva, [[Diantha]], and all of the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Chespie]] was freed from it's control, Lysandre appears and revives the Rock himself using a control device announcing he still intends to destroy the world even if it means he has to die too. He lost control of the Rock after the device was destroyed by Ash and Alain, and was defeated entirely by Squishy and Z2 after they transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and destroyed the Giant Rock. The explosion from Zygarde's {{m|Core Enforcer}} engulfs Lysandre, leaving his final fate unclear.

Lysandre appeared in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'', where he announced the release of the [[Holo Caster]]. In the process, he was depicted as a popular and successful businessman. He was later seen discussing with [[Diantha]] about the concept of eternal beauty. Afterwards, he was interviewed by some reporters over his involvement with some secret plans, but he didn't reveal any information. Lysandre was then seen at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], conducting experiments on {{p|Yveltal}} in the hopes of creating a more beautiful world.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lysandre Malva Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Lysandre in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Lysandre Machine Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lysandre wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{MangaArc|X & Y}}=====
Lysandre debuted in ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]''. He was first seen in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab, watching a video of the battle between [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} in [[Vaniville Town]]. He then asked for a copy of the footage for further study.

In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Professor Sycamore sent {{adv|Trevor}} and his friends to [[Lysandre Labs|Lysandre Café]] to get repairs for Trevor's [[Holo Caster]]. The group was introduced to Lysandre, but Trevor became suspicious of the man after seeing his silhouette in a photo taken during the Vaniville incident. Noting Trevor's strange behavior, Lysandre asked to see the photo, even using his Pokémon to surround the group when Trevor refused. [[Diantha]] arrived and used her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to defend Trevor's group. Lysandre backed off and left to answer a call from [[Xerosic]], who had discovered the location of Xerneas's tree form.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Lysandre returned to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] after Xerneas's tree form had been successfully transported. He received the Lysandre Machine, which [[Clemont]] was forced to build, and a Mega Ring, which had its [[Key Stone]] stolen from [[Korrina]]. Lysandre and Xerosic began draining Xerneas of its life energy to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. {{adv|X}} later broke into the building to put an end to [[Team Flare]]'s ambitions. He found the ultimate weapon's control room and confronted Lysandre, who used his Mega Ring to Mega Evolve his {{p|Gyarados}}. During their battle, X had his [[Élec]] use its {{a|Lightning Rod}} to pull electricity from the ultimate weapon's absorber into its tail, draining the machine of its power. This allowed Xerneas to awaken from its slumber and revert back to normal.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', Trevor, {{adv|Tierno}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, [[Clemont]], [[Emma]], and [[AZ]] arrived at the control room, where they found X had already been defeated. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key but were unable to pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X and his friends successfully weakened the ultimate weapon, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. AZ stayed behind to allow Xerneas to escape back to the surface with X and the others. When Malva attempted to confront X's group with Yveltal, Lysandre ordered a ceasefire due to it and Xerneas being evenly matched. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking X and the others with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Team Flare was revealed to have blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on X's friends and the Gym Leaders. They moved operations to the [[Pokémon Village]] to keep a low profile. When Xerosic later discovered the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} are an older form of the absorber, Team Flare began using them to drain the life energy of the Pokémon living at the village. These actions earned Team Flare the anger of {{adv|Mewtwo}}, who protected the Pokémon Village. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', X and {{adv|Blue}} found Lysandre in battle with Mewtwo at the village. Hoping to have Mewtwo weakened enough for capture, Lysandre tried to trick it into attacking X and Blue, only for {{adv|Blaine}} to arrive and Mega Evolve Mewtwo into its Y form.

In ''[[PS591|Mewtwo Angered]]'', Lysandre summoned [[Emma|Essentia]] and used a device to control her like a puppet. By talking into the device, Essentia would repeat Lysandre's words, allowing him to command the {{adv|Zygarde}} she had caught earlier. While Blaine and Mewtwo kept Zygarde still, X defeated Essentia, uncovering her true identity as his friend Emma. With some words of encouragement from X and [[Cassius]], Emma betrayed Lysandre, but was attacked by his Gyarados before she could command Zygarde. Lysandre took Zygarde's [[Poké Ball]], only for {{adv|Y}} to arrive and take his Mega Ring. Although he was angered by this, Lysandre made an announcement to the entire Kalos region, informing the public of Team Flare's plan to destroy everything with the ultimate weapon. By borrowing Key Stones from his allies, X was able to activate Mega Evolution for his entire team at once.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Lysandre used Zygarde to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. As the battle went on, X's friends noticed Zygarde's body was breaking apart due to Xerneas and Yveltal reverting to their tree and cocoon forms. Once they fully reverted, X had his team launch one final attack, fully separating Zygarde. Malva attempted to save Lysandre from falling, only for both to land onto the rubble below. Heavily injured, Lysandre weakly asked Malva why the ultimate weapon had not yet been fired. Afterward, Blaine revealed Lysandre was alive, but had sustained severe injuries to his spinal cord.

====={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}=====
Lysandre reappeared in a flashback as a silhouette when Sina and Dexio were explaining Zygarde's presence in Alola.

==Trivia==
* Lysandre shares three Pokémon with [[Cyrus]], another leader of a [[Team Galactic|villainous team]]: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Honchkrow}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}. Their goals are also similar; both involve trying to wipe out everyone for some purpose and using [[Legendary Pokémon]] to achieve it.
** [[Xerosic]] and [[Mable]], two of his top scientists, possess a {{p|Crobat}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Weavile}}, respectively; all Pokémon that Cyrus had.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Lysandre Machine's functions are different: the "bugs" attached to the backpack piece are able to shoot beams of Mega Evolution energy, while the gauntlet is used to control the [[Giant Rock]]. Additionally, the pieces of the suit are capable of flight and can carry Lysandre into the air while he is wearing them.
* Lysandre's Gyarados knows {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Outrage}}, which it cannot learn in {{g|X and Y}}. The only way for Gyarados to know these moves in Pokémon X and Y is through [[Move Tutor]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}} before being transferred through [[Pokémon Bank]], or through a Move Tutor in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the latter of which wasn't available at the time of X and Y's release.
* The background story of Lysandre told by an NPC in Snowbelle City is similar to the manga ''{{wp|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind}}'', where a king, who wants to save humanity and wanting peace for his peasants, eventually realizes their stupidity and grows to hate them, eventually becoming a tyrant.
* Lysandre's hairstyle was stylized to somewhat resemble a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences#Pyroar|male]] {{p|Pyroar}}'s mane, one of his Pokémon.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader to debut in a special episode of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and also the first to have a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
** In ''Pokémon the Series'', Lysandre is not Professor Sycamore's former pupil. Instead, the two only meet for the first time during the events of the {{aniseries|XY|''XY'' series}} special, ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.
* When Lysandre is defeated for the last time in X and Y, the {{player}} performs a unique victory pose.
* Lysandre's visor can be seen on his desk in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], though he does not wear it at any point as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in the [[core series]] who never wears his team's insignia on his clothing.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in ''Pokémon the Series'' whom {{Ash}} defeated in a battle.
** He was also the first villainous team leader in the animated series since {{an|Giovanni}} to be shown to use Pokémon of his own, instead of just controlling one or more Legendary Pokémon.

'''Lysandre''' (Japanese: '''フラダリ''' ''Fuladari'') is the boss of [[Team Flare]] and the main antagonist of [[Pokémon X and Y]]. He is also a philanthropist and owner of [[Lysandre Labs]], the company that created the [[Holo Caster]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Flare Boss''' (Japanese: '''フレアだんボス''' ''Team Flare Boss'').

He seeks to wipe out most of the world population in order to return the {{pkmn|world|planet}} to a "beautiful", unspoiled state; what he implies is a world without 'negative' or 'ugly' concepts, such as strife, struggle, war, or despair.<ref name="Pokémon.com 2017-11-02">Lysandre is the boss of Team Flare, the villainous organization that appeared in ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y''. He is, by nature, a man of deep sympathies—but has been driven to despair by watching humans fighting and struggling against one another, and he comes to believe that the only way for people to live in beauty, without strife or struggle, is by reducing the number of people living in the world. He restored the ultimate weapon, which had been sealed away 3000 years earlier, and then, using the power of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas or Yveltal, he attempted to eradicate life.</ref>

==In the core series games==
===History===
Lysandre is descended from Kalos royalty.<ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Actually, Lysandre himself is of royal ancestry... He truly is a chosen one."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> As the rich owner of a technology company, Lysandre was a philanthropist who often made donations to better the world. <ref>'''Professor Sycamore:''' ''"Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> One of the people he helped was a young [[Corbeau]], who would come to idolize Lysandre for his generosity. As time wore on and Lysandre witnessed the ugliness of people and the world, he gradually turned into a misanthrope.

===={{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Lysandre meeting Player XY.png|thumb|250px|left|Lysandre meeting the player at Sycamore's lab]]
The player first meets Lysandre in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in [[Lumiose City]] seeing potential in them, and then later in Café Soleil where he is seen talking to [[Diantha]] about her acting career. He discusses with her about the idea of eternal beauty, but she quickly dismisses the idea, claiming that she does not look for such a thing, much to Lysandre's annoyance. After this, he spots the player, where he speaks about his dream of a beautiful world.

Following this, Lysandre doesn't reappear until much later, after the player has defeated [[Clemont]] for their fifth Badge. This time, he speaks about the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] who nearly vaporized all life in the region 3,000 years ago by usage of a weapon. He also speaks about Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} role in the creation of the [[ultimate weapon]], as well as their role in the creation of life and destruction as a whole. After this, Lysandre will regularly communicate with the player through the [[Holo Caster]], monitoring their progress, and constantly showing his vision for a beautiful world as well as asking them to reconsider his proposal and join him on his cause.

Lysandre then appears after the player has received their seventh Badge. At this point, it is revealed through his Holo Caster message that he is the leader of [[Team Flare]], and that he plans to use the weapon which he spoke about earlier in order to eliminate anyone not part of Team Flare, surprising both the player and their neighbor. The player later confronts Lysandre in person at the lab beneath his café as he wishes to test the player's resolve, and is then battled and defeated. Lysandre admires the player's resolve and strength and instructs them that if they wish to stop him, he must get the elevator key from one of four Team Flare's scientists the player already met, while he retreats underground.

After the player obtains the Key and descends further into the lab, they meet with Lysandre who is speaking with a tall man behind bars known as AZ. Lysandre introduces AZ as someone who "shares the name of the previous King of Kalos" as well as possessing the key of the ultimate weapon. After AZ tells the player the tragedy left by the ultimate weapon and asks them to stop the device from being used, Lysandre invites the player deeper underground if they wish to stop him. The player descends and meets Lysandre talking with [[Xerosic]]. Lysandre then tells the player to battle Xerosic, and if they are successful against the scientist, then they will stop their scheme. After the player defeats Xerosic, he has them push one of two buttons, one of which activates the weapon. However, pushing the correct one unfortunately does not stop Xerosic from unleashing the weapon on Kalos. (If the player chooses the blue button he will activate the weapon by remote control, otherwise the player activates the weapon.)

Lysandre is later found again at the site of the ultimate weapon in [[Geosenge Town]] where the player's rival questions him about his extreme measures to fix the world, which he replies that they are the only possible solution for he thinks humans are inherently evil and greedy. He uses the analogy of them competing over their [[Mega Ring]] as an example that when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, for someone must live with it and some without and as such, more tragedies are likely to happen and therefore, the only solution is to reduce the human population. When further questioned about Pokémon, he tearfully claims that Pokémon, while magnificent beings, are condemned to be used by humans and, for the greater good, are best annihilated.

He is then battled again as he simply seeks to stall for time against the player. The player defeats Lysandre once again, and he shows further admiration for the player's strength. He then challenges the player to travel deeper into the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop the weapon despite his belief that it is already too late, but multiple members of Team Flare are waiting in ambush on the lower floors. After defeating them, the player reaches Xerneas or Yveltal. The legendary Pokémon is then battled and caught by the player, seemingly disabling the weapon. Lysandre returns wearing a cybernetic suit, called the '''Lysandre Machine''', that is intended to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} energy back into the Ultimate Weapon, and he declares that he will take the legendary Pokémon back and complete his plan. Now wielding a Mega Ring of his own, he engages the player in a final battle.
[[File:Lysandre Loses XY.png|frame|Lysandre losing to the player]]
After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and their friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to 'force immortality on the player, their friends, and himself'{{sup/6|X}}/'kill everyone in the building'{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. Hearing this, the player and their friends quickly leave, after which the blast from the weapon destroys the building and seemingly buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble, putting an end to Team Flare's threat.

Later on in the game, an NPC in [[Snowbelle City]] who is an old friend of Lysandre mentions that Lysandre had noble intentions and did his best to help people in need, but was eventually convinced of humanity's stupidity, along with his own limitations which resulted in him becoming a misanthrope.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
=====[[Episode RR]]=====
An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Lysandre appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] is one of the second pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Cyrus]]. Like the other {{cat|villainous team leaders}} in Team Rainbow Rocket, this Lysandre was summoned from a world where his plans succeeded. However, as he explains to the player, a bright light consumed him when he fired the [[ultimate weapon]] and was transported to the game's world. He has his {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s set up devices with red and blue buttons in his office within [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. Then, he subjects the player to the same choice the player in Kalos was subjected to, claiming that one button will activate the ultimate weapon and the other will open the path to [[Giovanni]]. However, no matter which button the player chooses, it will be the one that activates the weapon. Lysandre then tells the player that pushing the opposite button will prevent it from firing. However, in order to buy time for the weapon to fire, Lysandre battles the player, using Xerneas{{sup/7|US}}/Yveltal{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. When he is defeated, he allows the player to press the other button, ostensibly shutting down the ultimate weapon, as well as unlocking one of the two seals needed to reach Giovanni. Lysandre then wonders if things would have been different in his world if he had met a Trainer like the player. He then rejects that line of thought, resolving that he must bring about his beautiful world. He is later sent back to his own world by [[Colress]] off-screen.

===={{g|Legends: Z-A}}====
It is revealed that Lysandre survived his supposed demise in [[Pokémon X and Y]] thanks to Zygarde, but has become slightly amnesiac. Due to the ultimate weapon, he has taken on a similar affliction to AZ and become cursed with the longevity of three thousand years. His hair has become shorter and paler, and his left eye appears to have blinded.

Lysandre first meets the player under the pseudonym of "'''L'''". He warns the player about the coming crisis in Lumiose City and tells them that they must become a Trainer worthy of Zygarde's trust in order to stop it. Later on, he helps by gathering all of Zygarde's Cells in order for it to assume its Complete Forme and defeat the rogue machine, [[Ange]].

After the player's first reward match in the Infinite [[Z-A Royale]], L comes to [[Hotel Z]] to speak with them about AZ, telling them about how the two had talked about the agony of being unable to die and about AZ's good and heinous deeds, including Ange. L surmises that Ange's influence resulted in more wild Pokémon gathering throughout Lumiose, wondering if it is right that people and Pokémon are kept at arm's length of each other with the city's holo-tech barriers. He wonders if people will find another way, stating that he looks forward to seeing what the people of Lumiose choose. L then explains that more of his memory returned following his conversation with the player in Lysandre Labs, having recalled the existence of Xerneas and Yveltal. He also informs them that since Ange was destroyed, Zygarde has not shown itself, likely due to it having exhausted its power and retreated somewhere to quietly recover. L requests the player to find Xerneas and Yveltal.

After the player catches Xerneas and Yveltal, L appears before the player outside Hotel Z. He explains that he knows that he tried to give too much to the world in the past, and because his good deeds saw no reward, he wallowed in despair and resentment and decided to take everything for himself instead. He explains how Zygarde seeks to correct excess and restore balance to the world, believing that to be the reason Zygarde rescued him. L then challenges the player to a battle.

====History====
[[File:Lysandre anime.png|thumb|250px|Lysandre in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'']]
Lysandre debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. Though he was not identified as the caller at the time, he contacted [[Alain]] via the [[Holo Caster]], directing him to where a new Mega Stone could be found. He also was seen observing the power of Alain's Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X during its battle with [[Siebold]]'s Mega {{p|Blastoise}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Lysandre traveled to [[Hoenn]], intervened in Alain's battle with {{Steven}}, and introduced Alain and Steven properly to each other. It was revealed that in the past, he defeated Alain in a battle over an [[Ampharosite]], then took Alain to [[Lysandre Labs]] and recruited him to work in a project to harness the energy of Mega Evolution for peaceful purposes. Lysandre was also the one who awarded Alain his Mega Ring and Charizardite X, though he asked Alain to not tell Professor Sycamore of the research, fearing that people with bad intentions would bring harm to him in order to obtain it. Later, he traveled with Alain, [[Mairin]], and Steven to a ruin, where they uncovered an ancient [[Giant Rock]]. However, his research on the Giant Rock accidentally summoned {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}, who destroyed the area. After the encounter with Rayquaza, Lysandre discovered a similar energy reading to the Giant Rock near [[Rustboro City]], and asked Alain to go there and investigate. He also covertly ordered Alain to keep a close eye on Steven, for the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} had precious information on Mega Evolution.
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Lysandre]]
In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Lysandre gave instructions to Alain and Steven. After Mega Rayquaza defeated both [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}}, he had the Giant Rock, which had reappeared during the battle of the Legendary Pokémon, taken away with his submarine for further studies.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Lysandre observed Alain's battles against ten Mega Evolution Trainers while his scientists researched the Giant Rock. After [[Chespie]], Mairin's {{p|Chespin}}, who had interfered with the experiments performed on a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, was hospitalized, Lysandre told the victorious Alain that he had to continue gather data on Mega Evolution if Chespie was to recover. He was also shown to be close to Malva, who served as Alain's final opponent.

Lysandre has a major antagonistic role in [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]], first making appearances in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' and ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', where he was studying [[Squishy]] alongside [[Xerosic]].

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Lysandre was contacted by Alain via the Holo Caster, who wanted to know if Mairin's Chespie's condition had improved or not. Later, he reappeared in [[XY107|the next episode]], overseeing the operation to capture [[Z2]] alongside Xerosic. At the end of the episode, he received Z2.

Lysandre reappeared in ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'' and ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', where he received mission reports from Xerosic.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Lysandre was talking to a man inside a building at the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He soon got a call on a Holo Caster that an {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} was holding, from Xerosic, who was in the front seat of a truck that was just outside the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Later on at night, he met {{Ash}} for the first time and discussed the capability of [[Ash's Greninja]] to take on its different form in battle. After his conversation with him, he was shown with an annoyed expression, before turning towards the Lumiose Gym and smirked. Lysandre later talked to Mairin after she ran up to him and he put on a happy expression. The next day, Lysandre was seated in a private viewing box inside the Lumiose Conference's stadium with a glass window, along with Mairin and the same Admin, and they all watched as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.
[[File:Lysandre Machine anime.png|thumb|250px|Wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]
In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre watched Ash and Alain's battle in the finals of the Lumiose Conference. Towards the end of the latter episode, his true egotistical, narcissistic nature is revealed as he uses the power of Z2 to bring the whole of Kalos into his control, taking over Lumiose City and subsequently the Lumiose Conference, which had just been concluded.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre revealed himself as the leader of Team Flare to a captured Ash. He also televised a message to the citizens of Kalos about his plan for creating a new, beautiful world for Team Flare.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Lysandre explained his motivations. Much like in the games, he once had a generous nature and would help those in need. However, after those he supported grew accustomed to his aid and turned greedy, he became disillusioned with the human race. Because of this, he intended to "restart" the world, and he attempted to control Ash and Greninja the same way he did with Zygarde, so that Ash could become the guide of the new world. Ash, however, defied Lysandre and used the [[Bond Phenomenon]] to break free. Following this turn of events, Lysandre equipped his machine and started a fight with Ash and the defecting Alain using his Pyroar and his Shiny Mega Gyarados. Pyroar was defeated through a joint attack by {{AP|Noivern}}, {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Lysandre defeated the majority of Ash's team. He was surprised when Malva appeared to help Alain and Ash, but nonetheless remained confident even after Clemont and Bonnie freed the two Zygarde under his control.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was finally beaten by Ash and Alain. Refusing to surrender, Lysandre seemingly killed himself by jumping off the tower. It was afterwards revealed that Lysandre had planned for the Giant Rock to transform into a copy of Zygarde, which would engulf the [[Anistar City]] Sundial and release enough energy to wipe out all life on the planet.

He made one final appearance in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. After the Giant Rock was temporarily stopped by Ash, Alain, Steven, Malva, [[Diantha]], and all of the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Chespie]] was freed from it's control, Lysandre appears and revives the Rock himself using a control device announcing he still intends to destroy the world even if it means he has to die too. He lost control of the Rock after the device was destroyed by Ash and Alain, and was defeated entirely by Squishy and Z2 after they transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and destroyed the Giant Rock. The explosion from Zygarde's {{m|Core Enforcer}} engulfs Lysandre, leaving his final fate unclear.

After being easily defeated, he briefly recalled his conversations with [[Professor Sycamore]] and [[Diantha]] about mortality and beauty. He then fired the [[ultimate weapon]] in an attempt to force immortality on himself, Calem, {{ga|Serena}}, and [[Shauna]]. The weapon fired as the Trainers escaped, leaving his fate unknown. One week later, [[Malva]] discussed his legacy on the [[Holo Caster]].

[[File:Lysandre Machine Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Lysandre wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon Adventures]]
====={{MangaArc|X & Y}}=====
Lysandre debuted in ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]''. He was first seen in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab, watching a video of the battle between [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} in [[Vaniville Town]]. He then asked for a copy of the footage for further study.

In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Professor Sycamore sent {{adv|Trevor}} and his friends to [[Lysandre Labs|Lysandre Café]] to get repairs for Trevor's [[Holo Caster]]. The group was introduced to Lysandre, but Trevor became suspicious of the man after seeing his silhouette in a photo taken during the Vaniville incident. Noting Trevor's strange behavior, Lysandre asked to see the photo, even using his Pokémon to surround the group when Trevor refused. [[Diantha]] arrived and used her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to defend Trevor's group. Lysandre backed off and left to answer a call from [[Xerosic]], who had discovered the location of Xerneas's tree form.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Lysandre returned to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] after Xerneas's tree form had been successfully transported. He received the Lysandre Machine, which [[Clemont]] was forced to build, and a Mega Ring, which had its [[Key Stone]] stolen from [[Korrina]]. Lysandre and Xerosic began draining Xerneas of its life energy to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. {{adv|X}} later broke into the building to put an end to [[Team Flare]]'s ambitions. He found the ultimate weapon's control room and confronted Lysandre, who used his Mega Ring to Mega Evolve his {{p|Gyarados}}. During their battle, X had his [[Élec]] use its {{a|Lightning Rod}} to pull electricity from the ultimate weapon's absorber into its tail, draining the machine of its power. This allowed Xerneas to awaken from its slumber and revert back to normal.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', Trevor, {{adv|Tierno}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, [[Clemont]], [[Emma]], and [[AZ]] arrived at the control room, where they found X had already been defeated. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key but were unable to pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X and his friends successfully weakened the ultimate weapon, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. AZ stayed behind to allow Xerneas to escape back to the surface with X and the others. When Malva attempted to confront X's group with Yveltal, Lysandre ordered a ceasefire due to it and Xerneas being evenly matched. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking X and the others with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Team Flare was revealed to have blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on X's friends and the Gym Leaders. They moved operations to the [[Pokémon Village]] to keep a low profile. When Xerosic later discovered the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} are an older form of the absorber, Team Flare began using them to drain the life energy of the Pokémon living at the village. These actions earned Team Flare the anger of {{adv|Mewtwo}}, who protected the Pokémon Village. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', X and {{adv|Blue}} found Lysandre in battle with Mewtwo at the village. Hoping to have Mewtwo weakened enough for capture, Lysandre tried to trick it into attacking X and Blue, only for {{adv|Blaine}} to arrive and Mega Evolve Mewtwo into its Y form.

In ''[[PS591|Mewtwo Angered]]'', Lysandre summoned [[Emma|Essentia]] and used a device to control her like a puppet. By talking into the device, Essentia would repeat Lysandre's words, allowing him to command the {{adv|Zygarde}} she had caught earlier. While Blaine and Mewtwo kept Zygarde still, X defeated Essentia, uncovering her true identity as his friend Emma. With some words of encouragement from X and [[Cassius]], Emma betrayed Lysandre, but was attacked by his Gyarados before she could command Zygarde. Lysandre took Zygarde's [[Poké Ball]], only for {{adv|Y}} to arrive and take his Mega Ring. Although he was angered by this, Lysandre made an announcement to the entire Kalos region, informing the public of Team Flare's plan to destroy everything with the ultimate weapon. By borrowing Key Stones from his allies, X was able to activate Mega Evolution for his entire team at once.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Lysandre used Zygarde to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. As the battle went on, X's friends noticed Zygarde's body was breaking apart due to Xerneas and Yveltal reverting to their tree and cocoon forms. Once they fully reverted, X had his team launch one final attack, fully separating Zygarde. Malva attempted to save Lysandre from falling, only for both to land onto the rubble below. Heavily injured, Lysandre weakly asked Malva why the ultimate weapon had not yet been fired. Afterward, Blaine revealed Lysandre was alive, but had sustained severe injuries to his spinal cord.

Lysandre reappeared in a flashback as a silhouette when Sina and Dexio were explaining Zygarde's presence in Alola.

|desc={{p|Zygarde}}, also known as Kalos's "Overseer" (Japanese: '''監視者''' ''Watcher''), was captured by Essentia in [[Anistar City]]. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, {{adv|Blue}}, and Blaine. After Emma was freed from Lysandre's control, Lysandre had Gyarados attack Emma so that he may take Zygarde's Poké Ball, giving him full control over it. Once [[Xerxer]] and {{p|Yveltal}} reverted to their dormant forms, Zygarde had no reason to stay, so its body began breaking apart. X's Mega-Evolved team used a combined attack to fully break apart Zygarde, leading to Lysandre's defeat.}}

==Trivia==
* Lysandre shares three Pokémon with [[Cyrus]], another leader of a [[Team Galactic|villainous team]]: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Honchkrow}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}. Their goals are also similar; both involve trying to wipe out everyone for some purpose and using [[Legendary Pokémon]] to achieve it.
** [[Xerosic]] and [[Mable]], two of his top scientists, possess a {{p|Crobat}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Weavile}}, respectively; all Pokémon that Cyrus had.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Lysandre Machine's functions are different: the "bugs" attached to the backpack piece are able to shoot beams of Mega Evolution energy, while the gauntlet is used to control the [[Giant Rock]]. Additionally, the pieces of the suit are capable of flight and can carry Lysandre into the air while he is wearing them.
* Lysandre's Gyarados knows {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Outrage}}, which it cannot learn in {{g|X and Y}}. The only way for Gyarados to know these moves in Pokémon X and Y is through [[Move Tutor]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}} before being transferred through [[Pokémon Bank]], or through a Move Tutor in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the latter of which wasn't available at the time of X and Y's release.
* The background story of Lysandre told by an NPC in Snowbelle City is similar to the manga ''{{wp|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind}}'', where a king, who wants to save humanity and wanting peace for his peasants, eventually realizes their stupidity and grows to hate them, eventually becoming a tyrant.
* Lysandre's hairstyle was stylized to somewhat resemble a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences#Pyroar|male]] {{p|Pyroar}}'s mane, one of his Pokémon.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader to debut in a special episode of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and also the first to have a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
** In ''Pokémon the Series'', Lysandre is not Professor Sycamore's former pupil. Instead, the two only meet for the first time during the events of the {{aniseries|XY|''XY'' series}} special, ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.
* When Lysandre is defeated for the last time in X and Y, the {{player}} performs a unique victory pose.
* Lysandre's visor can be seen on his desk in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], though he does not wear it at any point as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in the [[core series]] who never wears his team's insignia on his clothing.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in ''Pokémon the Series'' whom {{Ash}} defeated in a battle.
** He was also the first villainous team leader in the animated series since {{an|Giovanni}} to be shown to use Pokémon of his own, instead of just controlling one or more Legendary Pokémon.

The '''Hisui''' region (Japanese: '''ヒスイ{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Hisui {{tt|region|chihō}}'') refers to [[Sinnoh]] as it was known during its discovery and settlement, in a historical period set prior to [[Generation IV]]. It is the setting of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

==Etymology and design concept==
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|200px|The map of Japan showing the Sinnoh (Hisui) region as the island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.]]
===Etymology===
Hisui may be derived from 翡翠 ''hisui'' ({{wp|jade}}) or 秘邃 ''hisui'' (hidden and profound), the latter of which matches [[Sinnoh]]'s name origin.

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Sinnoh}}
Hisui may be based on the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} while it was still known as Ezo, referring to its inhabitants prior to the {{wp|Meiji Restoration}}. In 1869, the northern frontier was renamed to its current administrative title, which translates to ''northern sea circuit''.

==History==
{{main|Sinnoh#History|Sinnoh → History}}
{{spoilers}}
===Prehistory===
According to several [[Sinnoh myths|myths]], after the creation of the [[Pokémon of myth]], the [[Pokémon universe]], and the [[lake guardians]], {{ga|Arceus}} created [[Mount Coronet]], then the rest of the Hisui [[region]], then the rest of the [[Pokémon world]] using its 1,000 arms. Arceus also created the [[Adamant Crystal]], the [[Lustrous Globe]], and [[Griseous Core]], materials related to the three Pokémon of myth, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. At some point, {{P|Uxie}}, {{P|Mesprit}}, and {{P|Azelf}} dove into the caves at the bottom of three lakes in the region: [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]], respectively, which granted them the title "[[lake guardians]]."

At some point, {{p|Heatran}} was born from the lava of [[Firespit Island]]'s volcano. Additionally, after the creation of all 5 [[Legendary giants]], their creator {{p|Regigigas}} fell into a deep slumber within [[Snowpoint Temple]], being only awakened by unlocking the door of the chamber where it was sealed in.

According to a legend, an [[ancient hero]] started a {{pkmn|journey}} to gather all of Arceus's 18 [[Plate]]s, befriending 10 Pokémon during his travels around the region. After succeeding in gathering them all, the hero met "almighty Sinnoh" itself, gaining its respect and being blessed by it alongside his Pokémon. These ten Pokémon would eventually have descendants that would be known as Hisui's {{pkmn2|Noble}} and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}, which would be worshiped as the protectors of the people and Pokémon of Hisui. After becoming a hero, he battled the "almighty unknowable," being approved by it before it returned to its "domain of no place." Following the hero's journey, the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] was built atop Mount Coronet in honor of the hero, his Pokémon, and Arceus.

About a millennium or two prior to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the ancient Sinnoh people lived in Hisui and worshiped Arceus, which was known as the "almighty Sinnoh." At the time, they used to perform rituals in which they wore outfits and styled their hair in a way to mimic Arceus's appearance to show their respect to it. The ancient Sinnoh people later vanished, leaving only [[Cogita|their]] [[Volo|descendants]] behind in the present day. Another group of people, the Celestica, are also mentioned in the [[Old Verse]]s, though there are fewer details on them.

The [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s traveled to Hisui from across the sea and started worshiping an "almighty Sinnoh," with the Diamond Clan claiming it {{p|Dialga|created time}} and the Pearl Clan claiming it {{p|Palkia|created space}}. Both clans claimed to be the Celestica people, though they had no relation. This disagreement set off a long-running feud between the two clans. The members of the clans also started venerating the noble and Ride Pokémon and appointed themselves as [[warden]]s to tend to their needs.

Two years prior, the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]] would arrive in the region, consisting of people from numerous various regions. These settlers built [[Jubilife Village]] in Hisui's southwestern corner. Unlike the two clans that lived in Hisui prior, the people of Jubilife Village were distrusting of Pokémon, so to capture and store them, the expedition team brought with them [[Poké Ball]]s, a newly-invented technology.

[[File:LegendsJubilifeVillageCEDEC.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|Rei}} at [[Jubilife Village]]]]

===Contemporary history===
A space-time rift appeared above [[Mount Coronet]], and causes several [[space-time distortion|distortions]] and storms. Lighting from the rift had struck the four Noble Pokémon that the two clans take care for. During this time, {{Ga|Arceus}} summons a human from the future and gives them the mission to catch all Pokémon. {{ga|Rei}}/{{ga|Akari}} arrive in Hisui from the space-time rift above Mount Coronet and is found by [[Professor Laventon]] at Jubilife's {{DL|Jubilife Village|Prelude Beach}}, and is offered to work for the Galaxy Team after they have shown Laventon their skill. After given some test by Rei/Akari's [[friend]], Akari/Rei (not chosen as {{Player}}), Captain [[Cyllene]] of the Survey Corps appoints them as part of the team followed by Laventon providing them a [[Hisui first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon]].

The Diamond and Pearl Clans are immediate to go to the Galaxy Team after their Noble Pokémon have caused destruction to both themselves and the land of Hisui. Rei/Akari is then appointed to investigate the problems with these four Pokémon and quell their rage, on top of completing Hisui's first Pokédex. As they progress, they teach the people of Jubilife Village about Pokémon and companionship, as well allowing the Diamond and Pearl Clans to get along with not only each other, but with ideas from the Galaxy Team as well. Rei/Akari quells all five Noble Pokémon, but soon, the sky turns red and the space-time distortions worsen, causing [[Kamado]] the Galaxy Team's leader, to distrust Rei/Akari in assumption they were a part of the cause. They're is kicked out from the team and is no longer allowed within Jubilife Village, seeking help from either clan, who are unable to provide assistance. [[Volo]], someone who Rei/Akari has met before, assists the Rei/Akari in their time of need and brings them to [[Cogita]], telling them to seek the [[Lake guardian]]s and form a [[Red Chain]]. [[Adaman]] and [[Irida]], the {{tc|Clan Leader}}s, assist Rei/Akari in their journey to avoid any ill intentions with the Galaxy Team or their clans. They return to the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] that rests upon the top of Mount Coronet. After gaining the trust of the Galaxy team again, Rei/Akari summons either {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} and gains their respect. The [[Legendary Pokémon]] warns their respective Clan leader about their counterpart, who immediately appears from a portal, in their Origin Forme. The raging counterpart destroys any remains of the Red Chain and the Temple of Sinnoh. The Clan Leaders, Professor Laventon, Akari/Rei and Rei/Akari then set out to create a special Poké Ball, made of leftover pieces of the Red Chain and [[Origin Ore]], the [[Origin Ball]], using it to quell the raging counterpart at the Temple of Sinnoh.

After their success, Rei/Akari continues their attempt at finishing Hisui's Pokédex, where they are stopped by Volo, who is searching for the remaining Plates. Given to Rei/Akari by Hisui's Noble and Ride Pokémon, the remaining Plates are held by Hisui's other Legendary Pokémon. In success with capture, the Mode and Volo meet at Mount Coronet, and are told of a banished Pokémon who served as a third counterpart to Dialga and Palkia. At the now destroyed Temple of Sinnoh, who Volo claims look like [[Spear Pillar|spears sticking out of the ground]], Rei/Akari is found with conflict against the Pokémon wielder, betraying their trust in hopes to meet Arceus. {{p|Giratina}} is summoned by Volo after defeat and explains that it was cause of the space-time distortions had that appeared throughout Hisui, angering the Nobles and causing previous Origin Forme to go berserk. Once defeated, Volo claims he will continue to find Arceus for as long as it may take.

Hisui's first Pokédex is completed and Rei/Akari returns to the Temple of Sinnoh, now with an [[Azure Flute]] in hand and summons Arceus at the [[Hall of Origin]]. Arceus gifts Rei/Akari a piece of themselves, acting as the {{p|Arceus}} species and the final Pokémon in the Pokédex.

After the events of the main story, smaller events known [[Massive mass outbreak]]s start occurring throughout the region during rainstorms. The Galaxy Team and clans begin researching these odd phenomenon.

Not long after this time, Hisui was renamed to [[Sinnoh]]. The Galaxy Expedition Team disbanded after their objectives have been met, but Cyllene passed down the name and accomplishments of the Galaxy Team to her descendants.

==Geography==
[[File:Hisui.png|thumb|250px|In-game map of the Hisui region Hisui is made up of five different sub-regions, each with its own sub-climate]]
===Environment===
{{main|Sinnoh#Environment|Sinnoh → Environment}}
The Hisui region, much like its modern day counterpart of [[Sinnoh]], features a variety of terrains, whether it be rocky mountains, moist swamps or vast oceans, many of Sinnoh's visuals and weather are retained. Hisui's environment is much more abrasive and harsh, and due its more recent settlement, there is very little man-made activity with only one village and two other settlements. Activity is sprawling with more Pokémon than in the future, with many of them acting hostile.

Also like Sinnoh, Hisui is a large region that can be split up, usually between an Eastern and a Western half with [[Mount Coronet]] at its center. The location and environment will change the cloak that {{p|Burmy}} wears, and determine the form of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} that are found. Unlike Sinnoh, the region is also split further than just the two halves, containing five separate sub-regions, often split into their own smaller environments. These sub-regions include: the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]], the [[Crimson Mirelands]], the [[Cobalt Coastlands]], the [[Coronet Highlands]] and the [[Alabaster Icelands]].

The Obsidian Fieldlands is the least hostile of the five sub-regions. The location, as its name suggests, features grassy plains with flower patches and forests that are surrounded by beaches and mountains at its ends. The Obsidian Fieldlands is located in the southwest of Sinnoh which would eventually become [[Sandgem Town]] and {{rt|201|Sinnoh}}. The Obsidian Fieldlands is flat enough to [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|ride]] {{p|Wyrdeer}} across the location. The fieldlands' meadows and terrain are split up between two rivers that lead from the north and into the south, ending into the ocean of [[Sandgem Flats]] and [[Ramanas Island]]. The more one follows the paths leading southeast, they'll be met with several hills in the center of location, and further more wooded areas containing [[The Heartwood]]. On the opposite side in the southwest is body of water known as [[Lake Verity]].

The Crimson Mirelands, the location that would eventually become modern day [[Pastoria City]], the [[Great Marsh]] and [[Solaceon Town]], is entirely filled with swamps and rivers, and as its name suggest, plenty of red mud and soil. It is located in the southeastern end of the region. It has multiple ruins and inscriptions such as the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. [[Fog]] is often present in this the Mirelands. While still grassy, it is much more hilly and steep compared to that of the Obsidian Fieldlands. The swampy terrain of the Crimson Mirelands allows for peat to be found. The [[Diamond Settlement]] sit on the Northern end of the Crimson Mirelands, with [[Lake Valor]] resting beside it.

The Eastern side of Hisui are the beaches of the Cobalt Coastlands. These beaches would eventually become the Eastern side of Sinnoh, including [[Sunyshore City]] and [[Valor Lakefront]]. These beaches are often rocky, and will require a way to get from one side to another such as the use of a {{p|Basculegion}} to ride on. Shaped like a crescent, the lowerhalf of the location reaches out to the east with a hand-shaped beach known as [[Sand's Reach]]. The location has several boxes and washed up trash from old cargo ships, allowing for Burmy to change into its Plant Cloak. On the upper half, divided by [[Veilstone Cape]], is the [[Spring Path]] containing Hisui's fourth lake and [[Turnback Cave]]. The Cobalt Coastlands features volcanic activity in the form of [[Firespit Island]], which much be traveled to by water.

The core of Hisui is the Coronet Highlands with its most defining features being the tall and rocky Coronet Mountain range with [[Mount Coronet]] at its heart. The highlands reaches high altitudes with very little roads, requiring the need of a Pokémon such as {{p|Sneasler}} to traverse its rocky slopes. The mountain range, and not limited to Mount Coronet or peaks, has a [[special magnetic field]] that allows for Pokémon such as {{p|Nosepass}} to evolve. The mountains contain several pools of water, with one such spring, the [[Fabled Spring]], to be where {{p|Clefairy}} gather under a full moon. Inside the mountain range are numerous caves and tunnels, including [[Wayward Cave]]. Multiple [[ruins]] are found the higher one travels, ending at the snowy summit of Mount Coronet where the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] lies.

The most northern part of Hisui is the Alabaster Icelands. Like its modern day counterpart of {{rt|216|sinnoh}}, {{rt|217|sinnoh}} and [[Snowpoint City]], it is covered in snow. Like many parts of the region, the icelands are also incredibly rocky and mountainous, these rocky formations are often covered in thick-slippery ice that even Sneasler cannot climb. This is especially true in the southern ends of the location that connects to rocky locations of the Coronet Highlands, which like it, has some caves and tunnels. The Alabaster Icelands is mostly barren, but still contains vegetation and tall trees, as well as a river. There is multiple hot springs that one can visit. Many of these springs are found at the [[Pearl Settlement]] that rests at the cliffs below [[Snowpoint Temple]]. Above these cliffs is also [[Lake Acuity]], containing a waterfall that leads to the river.

===Climate===
{{main|Sinnoh#Climate|Sinnoh → Climate}}
Hisui's climate contains many elements from its modern day, but also contains many differences from what one would otherwise expect. The Pokémon are not the only thing that is harsh, but as is the region's climate.

Each sub-region has its own sub-climate, with Hisui's going through its own seasonal changes. These changes are usually accompanied by the [[forces of nature]]. Like Sinnoh, the region is colder in temperature taking place farther north than other locations, allowing for people to dress more appropriately in bundled clothing. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the weather typically typically changes all on its own and random intervals. Each sub-region has its own sub-climate, with the Obsidian Fieldlands and Coronet Highlands having mostly clear skies; the Crimson Mirelands typically being more moist and damp, the Cobalt Coastlands often has rain showers and the Alabaster Icelands is known to have strong winds and snow. These weather conditions are not exclusive to the individual locations (aside from snow), but are more common amongst them.

In Daybreak, a short game patch story in Legends: Arceus, four of the five sub-regions will have harsh rainstorms that causes {{DL|Mass outbreak|Pokémon Legends: Arceus|massive mass outbreaks}} to occur. In the Alabaster Icelands, where rain doesn't occur, strong snow storms are present instead.

Hisui is unique among other locations, in that it is known to carry [[space-time distortion]]s when a space-time rift occurs over the head of Mount Coronet. These disturbances can appear throughout the entire region, and brings Pokémon, items and even people from alternate timelines or realities. Space-time distortions, along with the space-time rift, can create abnormal lightning, and other weather conditions may occur.

===Ecology===
[[File:Legends Arceus ecology.png|thumb|300x300px|Ecological study of the [[Cobalt Coastlands]]]]
Hisui's harsh environment and climate is much different from most regions of the modern day, leading to many Pokémon being uniquely found within the region as well, many of which are also not found in the modern-day Sinnoh. This implies that many of the Pokémon found in Hisui have either gone extinct or migrated out of the region by the time the events of {{g|Diamond and Pearl}} happen. For example, {{p|Wyrdeer}} are a species of Pokémon evolving from {{p|Stantler}}, a species that still exists in the modern day, but is not found in any of Sinnoh's Pokédexes, and its entry in the [[Paldea]] Pokédex for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] specifically state that it used to evolve, implying that Wyrdeer had gone fully extinct. While the {{p|Qwilfish}} and by extension its Evolution {{p|Overqwil}} in Hisui are known to have migrated to other colder climates instead, according to the Pokédex at [[Blueberry Academy]], White-Striped {{p|Basculin}} and {{p|Basculegion}} can only be found in [[Kitakami]]'s [[Timeless Woods]] in the present day. In the case of {{p|Ursaluna}}, it is implied to be at the brink of extinction in the present day, with only [[Timeless Woods#Special encounters|one specimen]] known as the Bloodmoon Beast (that has a form called Bloodmoon Ursaluna) being confirmed to exist, with it being found in [[Kitakami]]'s Timeless Woods. This particular Ursaluna is very old, having used to live in the Hisui region a long time ago until it drifted across the seas and arrived at [[Kitakami]], where it made residence in the land's Timeless Woods. It also gained special powers due to adapting to the hard environment of Kitakami. Hisui's conditions have brought forth many [[Evolution]]s and [[regional form]]s that are not found else where in the world. Many of these changes are related to Hisui's seasonal and colder climates, having the Pokémon adapt to new forms. Laventon's study of {{p|Decidueye}} confirms that environment can be an influence on Evolution, with the Pokémon in particular having to adapt to the cold. The regional forms first discovered in the Hisui region are described as [[Hisuian form]]s. Hisui is known to have Pokémon appear within [[outbreak]]s, having certain species appear in swarms and groups, appearing more frequently then they would usually.

[[Professor Laventon]] of the Galaxy Team is a [[Pokémon professor]] who studies the ecology of Pokémon, and is tasked by the Survey Corps to create Hisui's first [[Pokédex]].

Hisui's vegetation is also an important part of the ecosystem and to the people and Pokémon who live there, with many plants growing only in Hisui and in no other locations. Similar to regional forms, Hisui also grows a unique type of [[Apricorn]] that other regions such as [[Johto]] and [[Galar]] may not, including [[Apricorn (item)|Brown Apricorn]]s. The many plants that can be used for food that grow in Hisui include [[Sand Radish]]es, [[Sootfoot Root]]s and many types of [[Berries]]. Many of the vegetation in the region is determined by sub-region, for example, [[Pop Pod]]s are a sea vegetable that grow only in the Cobalt Coastlands, while Sand Radishes will only grow in the Alabaster Icelands.

Among usage in food and delicacy, the natural elements found in the region are also used for [[crafting]], an important part of survival in the region. The usage of items are often used to to make other foods, but also items such as [[Poké Ball]]s, and [[Potion]]s. Balms for [[Noble Pokémon]] are often made with ingredients found from around the location that the normal variants of that species would prefer, such as Lord {{p|Electrode}} preferring food made from [[Crunchy Salt]]. This salt often grows in Hisui's mountain tops where Hisuian Electrode tend to live. Many materials are also harvested from the Pokémon themselves, especially plant-like or [[Poison (type)|Poison]]-Type Pokémon such as {{p|Petilil}}, whose leaves are used for medical care, and {{p|Croagunk}}, whose toxins could be used for similar purposes. [[Medicinal Leek]]s are a common vegetable found throughout the entire region, and are also used for basic medical purposes and healing. These herbs are often mixed into Potions, but can also be applied directly.

===Demographics===
{{incomplete|section|reason=is 111 accurate?}}
Hisui has a total population of 111 people split up between the [[Galaxy Team]], the [[Diamond Clan]] and the [[Pearl Clan]], having the shortest population of people to date compared to other regions' introductions, as a result of Hisui being recently established. Many of the people originate from different regions from all over the world, including [[Hoenn]], [[Alola]], and [[Galar]]. The Celestica people and the ancient Sinnoh people had once lived in the region. [[Cogita]] and [[Volo]] claim to be related to the ancient Sinnoh people.

==Trivia==
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Hisui is "Hisuian", as seen in the term [[Hisuian form|Hisuian Form]].
* During the post-game of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[Kamado]] muses that Hisui could be called the Sinnoh region after the deities the Diamond and Pearl Clans worship, alluding to the region's present-day name.
* Aside from the Coronet Highlands, the names of the four main areas of Hisui correspond to the colors associated with the {{wp|Four Symbols|Chinese Four Symbols}}: the {{wp|Black Tortoise}} of the North (Obsidian Fieldlands), the {{wp|Vermilion Bird}} of the South (Crimson Mirelands), the {{wp|Azure Dragon}} of the East (Cobalt Coastlands), and the {{wp|White Tiger (mythology)|White Tiger}} of the West (Alabaster Icelands). The locations for two of the main areas even correspond to the cardinal directions the Four Symbols represent: the Crimson Mirelands is located roughly in the south or southeast of Hisui, and the Cobalt Coastlands is located in the east of Hisui. The [[forces of nature]] will also start roaming each of the four areas on certain weather conditions, after the Rei/Akari receives the [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Requests|request]] "Incarnate Forces of Hisui".

The '''Sinnoh''' region (Japanese: '''シンオウ{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Sinnoh {{tt|region|chihō}}''), formerly known as '''[[Hisui]]''' (Japanese: '''ヒスイ{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Hisui {{tt|region|chihō}}''), is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located north of [[Kanto]],<ref name="Sinnoh Sound"/> [[Johto]],<ref name="Sinnoh Sound"/> and [[Hoenn]].<ref name="AG187"/> It is the setting of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{game|Platinum||Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl]], and {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}; the latter explores the region's earlier history when it was still known as Hisui. It was the fourth [[core series]] region to be introduced.

Sinnoh is composed of the large mainland, the [[Battle Zone]] on another landmass to the northeast, and several smaller islands on both sides of the region. Most of Sinnoh's routes are on land, having very few water routes, in vast contrast to Hoenn. The region is divided by [[Mount Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that Kanto and Johto make up is essentially a contiguous region.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Sinnoh's name is derived from "神奥" ("mysterious and profound"),<ref>[https://lineblog.me/masudajunichi/archives/7586253.html Junichi Masuda's Official Blog: Happy 10th Anniversary to Pokémon Diamond and pearl!](Japanese)</ref> possibly in reference to the [[Sinnoh myths|various myths]] of the region.

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Sinnoh}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|200px|The map of Japan showing the Sinnoh region as the island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.]]
The geography of the Sinnoh region is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} and the southern part of the Russian island {{wp|Sakhalin}}, as well as {{wp|Kunashir}} (Kunashiri), which is claimed by both Japan and Russia, but is currently under Russian control. Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula.

Most of the cities and towns in Sinnoh are based on and positioned in the same way as the real cities and towns of Hokkaido. [[Jubilife City]] is Sinnoh's largest city, which is based on {{wp|Sapporo}}, Hokkaido's largest city, while [[Veilstone City]] is based upon {{wp|Abashiri}}, a major port city. The geographical features of Sinnoh are similar as well, with the large mountain ranges of [[Mount Coronet]] resembling the {{wp|Ezo}} mountain chain, which is made up of the {{wp|Teshio Mountains}}, the {{wp|Kitami Mountains}}, the {{wp|Ishikari Mountains}}, the {{wp|Yubari Mountains}}, and the {{wp|Hidaka Mountains}}. The three lakes of Sinnoh mimic {{wp|Lake Toya|Lake Tōya}}, {{wp|Lake Kussharo}} and {{wp|Lake Kutcharo}}. The [[Sendoff Spring|fourth lake of Sinnoh]] is similar to {{wp|Lake Mashu|Lake Mashū}}, which is also known as a mysterious spot that has a dense layer of fog hiding the surface most of the time.

The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may also be a reference to Japan's own national route system, which goes from {{wp|Japan National Route 1|1}} to {{wp|Japan National Route 58|58}}, then skips directly to {{wp|Japan National Route 101|101}}, and then skips several more numbers. Routes in Sinnoh do not run concurrent to routes in Hokkaido; instead starting over after the set of routes in Hoenn.

==History==
{{main|Hisui#History|Hisui → History}}
{{spoilers}}
===Prehistory===
According to several [[Sinnoh myths|myths]], after the creation of the [[Pokémon of myth]], the [[Pokémon universe]], and the [[Lake guardians]], {{ga|Arceus}} created [[Mount Coronet]], then the rest of the Hisui [[region]], then the rest of the [[Pokémon world]] using its 1,000 arms. Arceus also created the [[Adamant Crystal]], the [[Lustrous Globe]], and [[Griseous Core]], materials related to the three Pokémon of myth, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. At some point, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} dove into the caves at the bottom of three lakes in the region: [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]], respectively, which granted them the title "[[lake guardians]]."

At some point, {{p|Heatran}} was born from the lava of [[Firespit Island]]'s volcano. Additionally, after the creation of all 5 [[Legendary giants]], their creator {{p|Regigigas}} fell into a deep slumber within [[Snowpoint Temple]], being only awakened by unlocking the door of the chamber where it was sealed in.

According to a legend, an [[ancient hero]] started a {{pkmn|journey}} to gather all of Arceus's 18 [[Plate]]s, befriending 10 Pokémon during his travels around the region. After succeeding in gathering them all, the hero met "almighty Sinnoh" itself, gaining its respect and being blessed by it alongside his Pokémon. These ten Pokémon would eventually have descendants that would be known as Hisui's {{pkmn2|Noble}} and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}, which would be worshiped as the protectors of the people and Pokémon of Hisui. After becoming a hero, he battled the "almighty unknowable," being approved by it before it returned to its "domain of no place." Following the hero's journey, the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] was built atop Mount Coronet in honor of the hero, his Pokémon, and Arceus.

About a millennium or two prior to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the ancient Sinnoh people lived in Hisui and worshiped Arceus, which was known as the "almighty Sinnoh." At the time, they used to perform rituals in which they wore outfits and styled their hair in a way to mimic Arceus's appearance to show their respect to it. The ancient Sinnoh people later vanished, leaving only [[Cogita|their]] [[Volo|descendants]] behind in the present day. Another group of people, the Celestica, are also mentioned in the [[Old Verse]]s, though there are fewer details on them.

The [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s traveled to Hisui from across the sea and started worshiping an "almighty Sinnoh," with the Diamond Clan claiming it {{p|Dialga|created time}} and the Pearl Clan claiming it {{p|Palkia|created space}}. Both clans claimed to be the Celestica people, though they had no relation. This disagreement set off a long-running feud between the two clans. The members of the clans also started venerating the noble and Ride Pokémon and appointed themselves as [[warden]]s to tend to their needs.

Two years prior, the [[Galaxy Team|Galaxy Expedition Team]] would arrive in the region, consisting of people from numerous various regions. These settlers built [[Jubilife Village]] in Hisui's southwestern corner. Unlike the two clans that lived in Hisui prior, the people of Jubilife Village were distrusting of Pokémon, so to capture and store them, the expedition team brought with them [[Poké Ball]]s, a newly-invented technology.

At most 300 years prior to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], the events of {{g|Legends: Arceus}} occurred.

After the events of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Hisui became known as Sinnoh. According to the townspeople, [[Floaroma Town]] was once a barren and desolate hill. People began planting flowers around it, but nothing would grow until someone expressed thanks for a blessing of nature, after which the whole hill burst into bloom.

===Contemporary history===
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|250px|{{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Dialga}} at [[Spear Pillar]]]]
The contemporary history of Sinnoh differs slightly based on the title of the game being played.
====[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]]====
{{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and their [[friend]] {{ga|Barry}}, leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon similar to that of the [[Red Gyarados]] in the nearby [[Lake Verity]]. At the lake they encounter [[Professor Rowan]] and their [[Professor's assistant|assistant]], Dawn/Lucas (not chosen as {{Player}}) who end up leaving their briefcase in the grass. The player and Barry get attacked by a group of [[wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Starly}} and open the briefcase left behind, giving them access to their [[Sinnoh first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon]]. Barry and the player return to Twinleaf Town and set out the next day to return the Pokémon that they had borrowed to Professor Rowan who lives in the neighboring [[Sandgem Town]]. Professor Rowan gives them not only a [[Pokédex]] but also the Pokémon they had borrowed, allowing the two, and Dawn/Lucas to set out on a journey across Sinnoh. The player and their friend, now [[rival]], take on the Sinnoh's eight [[Gym]]s in attempt to become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Along the way, the player comes across the [[villainous team|villainous]] [[Team Galactic]], who pursues to steal Pokémon and resources in order to complete [[Cyrus]]'s goal of creating a new world in his image. In multiple conflicts with the organization and obtaining their seventh gym badge, the player defeats [[Saturn]] in [[Veilstone City]] who has captured the [[Lake guardians]] and created a [[Red Chain]]. They follow Cyrus up to the peak of [[Mount Coronet]] where the [[Spear Pillar]] lies. Cyrus summons the [[Legendary Pokémon]] of {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}{{sup/8|BD}}/{{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}{{sup/8|SP}}, who can distort time and space respectively, allowing him to recreate the world via usage of the Red Chain that Saturn had made in Veilstone. The player and Barry defeat the evil organization, with most of the group disbanding after Cyrus leaves. The player then leaves for [[Sunyshore City]] and eventually the {{si|Pokémon League}} where they defeat [[Cynthia]] and claim the title of champion.

After finding every Pokémon in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex and becoming champion, the player is contacted by Barry who they go with on a ship to the [[Battle Zone]], home of the {{si|Battle Park}}. On this island, they explore the volcanic [[Stark Mountain]] after some Team Galactic members attempt to take the [[Magma Stone]]. With the help of [[Buck]], they defeat the villains once again and bring peace to the location.

===={{game|Platinum}}====
{{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and their [[friend]] {{ga|Barry}}, leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in order to find some wild Pokémon. At {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} they are stopped by [[Professor Rowan]] and their [[Professor's assistant]], Dawn/Lucas (not chosen as {{Player}}), who provides them with their [[first partner Pokémon]]. They go to Sandgem Town in order to learn more about Pokémon and taking a journey across Sinnoh, but not stop back home first and tell their [[Johanna|mother]] about the road ahead. At [[Lake Verity]] the player meets [[Cyrus]]. The player and their friend, now [[rival]], take on the Sinnoh's eight [[Gym]]s in attempt to become a {{pkmn|Champion}}. Over the course of their journey they meet a Trainer named [[Cynthia]] and a member of the [[International Police]], [[Looker]], who become helpful allies against the [[villainous team|villainous]] [[Team Galactic]], a group oddly dressed people who pursue the stealing of Pokémon and resources in order to complete Cyrus's goal of creating a new world in his image. In multiple conflicts with the organization and obtaining their seventh gym badge, the player defeats [[Saturn]] in [[Veilstone City]], who has captured the [[lake guardians]] and created a [[Red Chain]]. They follow Cyrus up to the peak of [[Mount Coronet]] where the [[Spear Pillar]] lies. The player, Barry and Cynthia all cooperate to help defeat [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] only for Cyrus to succeed in summoning both Dialga and Palkia with usage of the Red Chain, bending and warping the world to his desires. The three lake guardians and {{p|Giratina}} suddenly appear and pull Cyrus into the [[Distortion World]], Giratina's world. The player and Cynthia follow into the portal and stop Cyrus from attempting to cause further harm. Cyrus disappears after defeat, with most of the group disbanding. The player then leaves for [[Sunyshore City]] and eventually the {{si|Pokémon League}}, where they defeat the current Champion, Cynthia, and become the new Champion.

After finding every Pokémon in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex and becoming champion, the player is contacted by Barry who they go with on a ship to the [[Battle Zone]], home of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. On this island, the player explores the volcanic [[Stark Mountain]] with [[Buck]]. The two encounter Mars, Jupiter, and [[Charon]] from Team Galactic who are attempting to take the [[Magma Stone]]. With the help of Looker, they defeat the villains once again and bring peace to the location.

==Geography==
===Environment===
[[File:Sinnoh DP artwork alt.png|thumb|290px|Oblique view of the Sinnoh region from above.]]
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. Its terrain is varied: some parts of the region are dry and mountainous; others are wet and swampy. The region is rich in water.

Due to its large size, the main region of Sinnoh can be broken into two sub-regions divided by [[Mount Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region. Due to this, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have developed an instance of regional {{wp|speciation}}, with members of the species found on the eastern side being blue-colored and members on the western side being pink-colored.

[[File:Torn World.png|thumb|left|250px|Mount Coronet's peak, with the entrance to the [[Distortion World]] above it, from the northwest.]]
The western half of Sinnoh features a variety of landscapes. Its coasts are notably more rocky than the eastern half, however, the land is far more fertile, and the towns, for the most part, are rural. A windswept canyon, carved out by a river that flows from Mount Coronet, is home to the [[Valley Windworks]], which provides clean, wind-driven electricity to the nearby towns. This is not to say, however, that there is no importance to west Sinnoh, as [[Oreburgh City]], [[Eterna City]], and [[Canalave City]] are the locations of [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home to a vast many more things, including [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in [[Hearthome City]], a [[Veilstone Department Store|Department Store]] in [[Veilstone City]], the [[Great Marsh]] of [[Pastoria City]], and the awe-inspiring [[Vista Lighthouse]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. In each of these cities, as well, there is a Pokémon Gym, which is very important for League-bound {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mount Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area. This is likely due to the cold climate and snowy terrain in the area. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint has a Pokémon Gym, making it another important stop for Trainers who wish to compete in the Pokémon League.

A third sub-region is the [[Battle Zone]], which is on a large island to the northeast of the mainland. Much like how people from the [[Sevii Islands]] seem to consider their home to be a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], people from the Battle Zone often refer to Sinnoh as a separate region. Several islands, including [[Newmoon Island]], [[Fullmoon Island]], and [[Iron Island]], lie off the northwestern coast of Sinnoh as well, though these are far eclipsed in both size and importance by the mainland.

Separated from both the Battle Zone and the mainland of Sinnoh by several straits is the island on which the {{si|Pokémon League}} of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223|Sinnoh}}. It is here where Sinnoh's {{si|Victory Road}} is located, which, unlike previous incarnations has not two, but three entrances: one of these, of course, is the southern entrance that Trainers from the mainland must navigate from, a second is the one that leads to the area in which the [[Elite Four]] can be challenged, and the third leads from a {{m|Defog|foggy}} area of Victory Road to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, the [[Seabreak Path]] leads to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

===Climate===
The climate of Sinnoh varies widely, and most of the region is made of mountainous or hilly areas. Unlike [[Hoenn]], which is located in the south where the climate is warmer, Sinnoh is located on the northern boundaries of the world where the temperature is cooler. It is so cold in the northern part of the region that snow falls constantly. The harsh snow that blows down from the mountain's peaks not only makes the area very cold, but makes the {{rt|217|Sinnoh|routes in the area}} perilous to travel on. Cities such as [[Snowpoint City]] are completely covered in snow, and Pokémon who live nearby have had to adapt to the climate. Recently, the southern side of the region has also become cooler; climate change is taking a toll. Areas such as [[Twinleaf Town]] and {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} now have small amounts of snow on the ground.

[[File:Sinnoh from the sky.png|thumb|250px|A part of the Sinnoh region where the city meets the sea]]
However, not all of the northern areas of Sinnoh are covered in snow. Due to the dry environments and mountainous areas such as [[Stark Mountain]], the small island known as the [[Battle Zone]] is subject to warmer climates. A constant sandstorm rages on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} due to the flow of wind down though the mountains. Some of the southern areas of the Battle Zone are very tropical and contain dense jungles.

The mainland features full land geography, with only five [[water route]]s. Despite this lack of water routes, in contrast to the [[Hoenn]] region, Sinnoh is known to be rich in water. Rivers that originate from the highlands and mountains in the center of the landmass runs through the region passing many cities, towns, and routes and into the ocean. There are many lakes throughout the region such as [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Verity]]. All these factors create a tropical climate throughout the mainland. Many large cities settle on or close to the seaside; some of them have large ports.

Further inland, there are many different climates. Due to the mountain zones, different inland areas are subject to rain. This rain creates wetlands. Such areas may also be covered partially or completely by shallow pools of water. The soil in the wetland area is permanently saturated with moisture, which creates swamps, marshes, and bogs. In fact, [[Pastoria City]] was founded on marshy soils that attracted wild Pokémon. Unlike other regions, Sinnoh is sometimes troubled by fog. {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} is often covered in a thick cloud that makes obstacles and Trainers difficult to see; fortunately for travelers, {{m|Defog|this can be easily cleared}}.

===Energy sources===
The Sinnoh region is famed for its energy production and conservation via natural resources. Different areas of Sinnoh use different sources of energy for the use of power generation, heating, and transport fuels. The [[Oreburgh Mine]] is one of the main features in Oreburgh City, as well as the city's leading energy source. Its energy is exported to many parts of the region, including its neighbor, [[Jubilife City]], whose large population consumes a lot of energy. The mine is the livelihood of the town. Vents in the town allow steam to escape and fresh air to enter the mine, likely also clearing the mine of any poison gas (which is historically the bane of coal miners). The mine is operated with the utmost care to avoid causing damage to the natural habitats of wild Pokémon. The system of taking coal out of the mine is automated.

Another local energy source is the [[Valley Windworks]]. The Valley Windworks is a large wind farm situated in a windy valley close to Mount Coronet, so as to generate as much electricity as possible. It is located just off {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}, a short walk east from Floaroma Town. In the area, there are eight tall wind turbines which generate energy that is in turn processed by the power plant in the center of the area. Many towns benefit from the natural renewable energy including [[Floaroma Town]], and [[Eterna City]].

The third and final energy source Sinnoh has to offer is [[Sunyshore City]]'s solar panels, which are ingeniously designed for the use of power and transportation. Because the city is on the coast and gets hit by a lot of sunlight, the solar panels were built to collect energy for little cost, no pollution, and convenience to the city's citizens. It was also built due to the lack of space. However, there is a disadvantage: the solar panel system is often broken, and the city will experience massive blackouts at times. Citizens of and visitors to the city are able to walk around the city on top of the solar panels.

===Demographics===
The Sinnoh region's towns, cities and other areas have a total population of 704 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and 755 in {{game|Platinum}}. Upon its introduction in [[Generation IV]], it was the largest region by population, and is currently the {{tt|fifth|While Galar has a larger population than Sinnoh's Diamond & Pearl population, Sinnoh's Platinum population is larger than Galar's.}} largest region by population.

===Notable locations===
Sinnoh has fourteen [[List of cities and towns|cities and towns]], as well as three "areas", and a {{si|Pokémon League}}. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. The [[Fight Area]], the [[Survival Area]] and the [[Resort Area]] all act as towns, however, they appear to be more of a tourist destination and are not considered cities or towns. These three "areas" are located off Sinnoh's mainland and on the [[Battle Zone]], which is considered a sub-region of Sinnoh and is implied by some living on the island as a different region altogether, not unlike how the [[Sevii Islands]] are considered a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Thus, Sinnoh has a total of eighteen settlements all over Sinnoh.

The Sinnoh region has 30 different [[route]]s, which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from {{rtn|201|Sinnoh}} to {{rtn|230|Sinnoh}}. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many water routes; there are many land routes and mountains. There are also several routes with differing [[weather]]. Some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them. Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} and {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, which both have two limbs of equal length.

Although it has few [[water route]]s, Sinnoh is known to be rich in water, and has three lakes at the northernmost ([[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]), easternmost ([[Lake Valor|Valor]]), and westernmost ([[Lake Verity|Verity]]) ends of the main continent. These are home to the [[lake guardians]]. Near Lake Valor there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]]. Some other significant locations that Sinnoh offers include [[Mount Coronet]], the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region and part of a long mountain range that divides the region in half; the [[Eterna Forest]], a large and mysterious forest; and the [[Great Marsh]], a popular habitat for Pokémon and a [[Safari Zone]] for many Trainers.

In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Sinnoh region is far enough away to require going from Kanto to Sinnoh by either ship (as {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Aipom}} did), or by truck (as evidenced by how {{an|Brock}} arrived in the region).

====Landmarks====
[[File:Mt. Coronet.png|left|thumb|200px|[[Mount Coronet]] range, which divides the region into two parts]]
Sinnoh is home to many unique landmarks and areas of interest. These come in a range of tourist attractions such as the luxurious [[Hotel Grand Lake]] and the exciting [[Pal Park]], to many natural phenomena such as the four deep, blue lakes and the vast, dense [[Eterna Forest]]. But the central landmark of the Sinnoh region is Mount Coronet. Standing in the middle of Sinnoh and extending from the northern wilderness to the southern tip of the region, Mount Coronet splits Sinnoh into two halves. It is best defined as a mountain range, with its highest peak shrouded in legend, perhaps being the highest mountain in the entire Pokémon world. The Spear Pillar is situated at the highest point, an ancient shrine to Pokémon which is in ruins. Several of its pillars are still standing, all pointing skyward. The legend of the [[Pokémon of myth]] is deeply connected with the mountain, as is the plot of Team Galactic. A stained glass window in the Foreign Building in Hearthome City depicts the mountain with a bright shine, representing the Spear Pillar and possibly depicting the creation of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Its place in Sinnoh has caused variation in the species of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, which have different shapes and coloration depending on the side of Sinnoh they are native to.

On the north part of the region in the [[Battle Zone]], there is another mountain range, [[Stark Mountain]], which consists of an active volcano. The volcano rains ash down upon some parts of the Battle Zone. Outside the cavern is a rugged, seemingly indestructible rock mountain that is thickly blanketed by the volcanic ash it spews. Inside the mountain, fissures in spilled and hardened lava form enormous caverns. Another important landmark of Sinnoh is [[Eterna Forest]], a forest home to many Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon. The Eterna Forest has a reputation for being a mysterious place, from the abandoned [[Old Chateau]] to the strange [[Moss Rock]]. The Eterna Forest is a long and complex structure of trees that make it a natural maze, where a lot of people get lost. Eterna Forest has apparently been the location of numerous sightings of [[Team Galactic]], for many unknown reasons.

Another major landmark is the [[Great Marsh]]. The Great Marsh is a giant wetland that is subject to frequent or continuous flood. It houses many different kinds of Pokémon, some of which are unique to this environment. [[Pastoria City]] was settled to protect the area. It has grown naturally over the years and there is now a lookout that affords views of the Great Marsh. An almost sacred area is the trinity of lakes mysteriously situated throughout the region to form the corners of a triangle. [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] are tied to the myth of the creation of the Pokémon world, specifically the creation of spirit. The lakes are said to be inhabited by three [[Lake guardians|guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. They are meant to represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively.

[[File:Grand Underground map BDSP.png|thumb|250px|[[Grand Underground]]; a series of tunnels and caves dug out below Sinnoh]]
The [[Underground]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}/[[Grand Underground]]{{sup/8|BDSP}} is a famous attraction to the Sinnoh region, because of the fact that it is not located above the surface of the region, but below in a series of tunnels dug out by people. There are six independent sections of the labyrinth, each accessible from different places in Sinnoh. In terms of vendors and mining treasures, the areas are equivalent. One of the main attractions is the mining game in which rare items can be found. The Grand Underground also contains multiple caves called Pokémon Hideaways, which contain many kinds of Pokémon not found on the surface of Sinnoh.

The Sinnoh region is the only area where an extreme natural phenomenon has occurred; the gateway to another universe has opened due to the actions of {{p|Giratina}}. At first, Giratina uses [[Turnback Cave]], a cave located in the depths of the mysterious and secret fourth lake of Sinnoh, [[Sendoff Spring]], as a portal to the [[Distortion World]]. It is said that Turnback Cave is a weak point between dimensions, and that the ability to travel across to the Distortion World would be possible. The Distortion World is a mysterious place that disobeys the normal laws of physics: time does not flow and spatial relations are irregular, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. Trees and rocks can simply grow out of the ground, and then disappear. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.

In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Sinnohan people have been shown to preserve historical knowledge, which include the [[Sinnoh myths|myths and legends]] passed on from generation to generation. The appreciation for the region's rich history has led them to produce a number of monuments and to erect many cultural heritage institutions that have become popular landmarks. Statues dedicated to the Legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia can be found inside the {{DL|Lilypad Town|Lilypad Colosseum}} and at the entrance gates to the [[Eterna Historical Museum]], and the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]], presided by {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Cynthia]]'s grandmother, [[Professor Carolina]], has staffers working to unveil the mysteries surrounding the region's past. The people living in Sinnoh also recognize the value of community traditions and civic commemorations. Small, local festivals, such as [[Pastoria City]]'s [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival|Croagunk Festival]] and the [[Twinleaf Festival]], are held annually to keep long-standing traditions alive.

==Sinnoh League==
{{main|Sinnoh League}}
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png|thumb|right|250px|The current members of the Elite Four]]
The regional Pokémon League in the Sinnoh region is known as the Sinnoh League. The Sinnoh League is composed of eight [[Gym Leader]]s and four [[Elite Four]] members, along with the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Pokémon Trainers who earn eight [[Badge]]s by defeating the Gym Leaders of the Sinnoh League qualify to challenge the Elite Four located in the {{si|Pokémon League}} building. Gym Leaders are located in different cities and towns, each with their own specialty [[type]]. It is the Gym Leader's job to be the protector of their respective town or city, as they should be the strongest Trainer residing there. Once all Gym Leaders have been defeated, Trainers may face the Elite Four and its Champion. To defeat the Elite Four, all five Trainers must be defeated in succession.
{{-}}
===Gym Leaders===
In {{game|Platinum}}, [[Fantina]] is the third [[Gym Leader]] fought, with the order otherwise remaining the same.

==Trivia==
* If one were to draw lines to connect the three lakes of Sinnoh, they form a big triangle with [[Mount Coronet]] at the center. This is the same formation that {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} make on the top of the [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle, as well as the same formation put in areas relating to the [[Sinnoh myths]].
* Only the southern part of the now-Russian island of {{wp|Sakhalin}} is referenced in the [[region]]. In the 1855 {{wp|Treaty of Shimoda}}, Russia and Japan agreed to split the island, with Japan receiving the southern end. While Japan gave Russia full control of Sakhalin in 1875 in exchange for the {{wp|Kuril Islands}}, Japan was again given the southern 2/5ths of the island after the {{wp|Russo-Japanese War}} in 1905 and would retain control until 1945.
* Sinnoh is the only region of the [[core series]] games to not have a notable {{type|Dragon}} [[Type expert|expert]].
* Sinnoh is the first region of the core series games to contain caves with side-facing entrances. In [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]], all cave portals were front-facing.
* Sinnoh has the most locations with [[special magnetic field]]s of all regions, with a total of three: Mount Coronet, [[Spear Pillar]], and [[Hall of Origin]].
* Sinnoh is the only known region to have once been [[Hisui|known by another name earlier in its history]].
* Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number in Generation IV|index number location]] programmed into [[Generation IV]] for it, despite the fact that all Sinnoh locations are programmed into the games already. This index location is at #2006, which coincidentally, was the Japanese release of Sinnoh's first games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This does not happen for the other three regions programmed in (i.e. Kanto is 2003, not 1996; Johto is 2004, not 1999; and Hoenn is 2005, not 2002). This data is unused during normal gameplay (i.e. without hacking); Pokémon from Sinnoh traded to a game taking place in Johto display their normal "met at" area, much like Pokémon from [[Kanto]] do when traded to Emerald.
* In the [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation#Shiny Pokémon|animated series]], Sinnoh features the most [[Shiny Pokémon]] seen in a region, with a total of seven: {{DL|Austin|Dustox}}, {{p|Metagross}}, [[Narissa#Ditto 2|Ditto]], {{OBP|Legendary beasts|M13|Raikou, Entei, Suicune}}, and {{p|Ariados}}.
* The [[Fiore]] region is confirmed to be somewhat far from the Sinnoh [[region]], since in the in-game Manaphy event, [[Professor Hastings]] suggests sending the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg to Sinnoh as a response to the term "somewhere far away."
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Sinnoh is "Sinnohan", as shown in the description for an assortment of [[Poffin]]s being sold by {{DL|Royal Avenue|Thrifty Megamart}} in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}.
** This is not to be confused with the historical term “Hisuian”, which is used only to refers to Pokémon and Sinnoh natives in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

'''Emma''' (Japanese: '''マチエール''' ''Matiere'') is a character introduced in {{g|X and Y}} who plays a major role in its post-game's side story. She is an orphaned young girl in [[Lumiose City]] who was found and taken care of by the detective [[Looker]].

In Pokémon X and Y, she is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Suspicious Woman''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおとな''' ''Suspicious Adult''), '''Suspicious Child''' (Japanese: '''あやしいこども''' ''Suspicious Child''), and '''Suspicious Lady''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおねえさん''' ''Suspicious Miss'').

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, she inherits the head role at her detective agency from Looker in Lumiose City and she is the only character in the game to have the Trainer class '''Detective''' (Japanese: '''探偵''' ''Detective'').

==In the core series games==
=== [[Pokémon X and Y]] ===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Emma and Looker XY.png|left|250px|thumb|Looker offering Emma a place to stay]]
In X and Y, Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of [[Lumiose City]] with her {{p|Espurr}} friend Mimi (Japanese: '''もこお''' ''Mokō''). She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy [[Poké Ball]]s. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Looker Bureau}} and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical {{tc|Tourist}} angrily shouting insults in English (Japanese if the language is set to English) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking in the language of the tourist, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his [[Looker's Croagunk|only Pokémon]] died during a past case.
The culprits at the station turn out to be the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}}, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.

Emma steadily grows worried that she and Mimi are a financial burden on Looker, though he assures her that they have enough money to get by and encourages her to focus on her studies. Still feeling guilty, Emma sets off to look for part-time work at a café that she saw was hiring. It turns out that the café was actually {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}} and Emma was tricked into being a test subject for [[Xerosic]]'s invention, the Expansion Suit. This leads to her disappearing for long stretches of time, which worries Looker greatly.

When in the Expansion Suit, Emma is given the codename '''Essentia''' (Japanese: '''エスプリ''' ''Esprit''). The suit enhances her physical abilities to superhuman levels, gives her the ability to override a Poké Ball's programming, and allows her to change her appearance. While running his tests, Xerosic finds that Emma has no experience as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and teaches her the basics, also allowing her to borrow his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon prefer playing with Emma instead of battling, which forces Xerosic to control the suit remotely. Emma falls unconscious while the remote-control function is engaged, and she has no memory of anything that happens while she is "asleep".

During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command. The first test has her sneak into the [[Lumiose Museum]] and vandalize a painting. Afterwards, she begins lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle, stealing their Poké Balls afterwards. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.
[[File:Xerosic Essentia XY.png|250px|thumb|Xerosic controlling Essentia]]
The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After the player defeats Essentia in a series of battles, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.

After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the [[International Police]] and that he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to ensure that she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. As the new head detective, Emma vows to keep Lumiose City safe with her identity as Essentia, using the suit and Pokémon that Xerosic gave her.
{{endspoilers}}

After completing the Looker storyline, the player can have a [[rematch]] with Emma in her Expansion Suit once per day on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, she will not be wearing the Expansion Suit and talk about her duties as the head of the Looker Bureau.

=== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ===
Five years after ''X and Y'', Emma lives in [[Lumiose City]] and works as a detective. She is said to have inherited the head role at her detective agency in Lumiose, where the player assists her by tracking down missing Pokémon, locating lost items, and partaking in the occasional Pokémon battle. Her hair has been cut to a short bob, and she wears her Expansion Suit under a cropped trench coat. Her suit now has a [[Key Stone]] embedded in it.

[[File:Emma anime.png|thumb|250px|Emma in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
Emma grew up in the streets of [[Lumiose City]] and never knew either of her parents. One day, she met a man named [[Looker]], who took her in and taught her how to read and write. Eventually, Looker left Lumiose City and allowed Emma to keep living in the building in which he owned. At some point, Emma met a young boy named [[Ult]] who, much like herself, lived in the streets of Lumiose City and she kindly decided to invite him to live with her, while also teaching him how to read and write, just as Looker had done for herself.

=====[[Episode: Mega Evolution]]=====
Emma first appeared in [[HZ113]], where she hosted Ult and his friend [[Roy]] at her home, cooking them a feast and kindly encouraging Roy to enjoy it as much as he can. After Ult left to challenge the [[Roy's Lucario|Yellow Blast]], Emma shared his past with Roy and asked him to become friends with Ult, noticing that he's never cared about anyone as much as he did currently, which Roy gladly complied.

In [[HZ114]], Emma said goodbye to Ult and Roy, during the farewell with Ult, Emma wished Ult a good trip and that he will always have a home with her, and that he is like family to her. With Roy, Emma thanked him for everything he did for Ult and then used Mimi to sense [[Captain Pikachu]]'s feelings for Roy and highlighted how much Roy was becoming like [[Friede]]. Some time later, Emma and Mimi found Roy's hat and placed it next to a picture of her with her Pokémon and Roy and Ult.

====Character====
Emma is a good-natured young girl, allowing Ult to live with her and teaching him how to read and write, and finding his sharp-tongued demeanor quite amusing. She's also a good hostess, going to great lengths to make Roy feel welcomed at her home and even pushing herself a little too hard to serve him and Ult during dinner. Emma is also quite a klutz, almost dropping all of her plates (with the food still on) because of the heavy weight she was carrying. She's also quite forgetful, forgetting to mention to Roy that she dreamed of becoming a detective, so much so that her forgetful nature reminded [[Captain Pikachu]] of [[Friede]].

Emma appeared in ''[[PG17|The Investigation]]''. She was first seen as Essentia, stealing three {{p|Furfrou}} from a Trainer she had beaten before being confronted by [[Looker]]. When Mimi seemed to recognize Essentia, Looker quickly came to realize the thief's true identity. Looker and Mimi pursued Essentia to {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}, where Mimi attacked her, destroying the Expansion Suit's helmet and freeing Emma from its control.

[[File:Cassius Grace Emma Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Emma in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Lumiose Gang Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Emma as a member of the Lumiose Gang]]
[[File:Essentia Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Essentia in Pokémon Adventures]]
Emma debuted in ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]''. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but ran away from home to live as a street urchin in the [[Lumiose City]] alleyways. She banded together with other children and Pokémon that had similar experiences, eventually forming the Lumiose Gang. Emma would later end up befriending [[Cassius]] and joined his group, but due to her lack of computer skills, she took on odd jobs to support her friends and avoid feeling like a burden.

Emma first appeared as Essentia at [[Shalour City]], where she attacked the [[Tower of Mastery]] to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]]. She attempted to steal the building by covering the surrounding area with her {{p|Trevenant}}'s roots. To prevent Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, [[Korrina]] and [[Gurkinn]] were forced to activate the tower's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

Emma debuted as herself in ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', where she was introduced to {{adv|X}} and his friends. Emma traveled with Cassius and his gang as they traveled around [[Kalos]] maintaining the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in various places like the [[Battle Chateau]]. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Cassius was informed that Emma went missing, which he noted had happened before.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Essentia provided support for [[Celosia]], who used mind-controlled residents of [[Vaniville Town]] to move the dormant tree form of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. X and his friends confronted the villains, but the former's attempt to Mega Evolve two of his Pokémon at once ended in failure, giving Essentia the opportunity to capture them. The heroes were freed by Gurkinn, who came to help alongside Korrina and [[Diantha]]. With the {{p|Gengar}} he received from Gurkinn, X defeated Essentia, forcing her to flee under Xerosic's orders.

In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', Emma followed X to [[Geosenge Town]] after finding out her {{p|Espurr|Mimi}} crawled into X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch. They went inside the Team Flare Secret HQ, but were separated when X stepped on a [[warp panel]] and was teleported away. Emma continued on by herself, eventually reaching the underground section. There, Emma found a very tall man named [[AZ]] locked in a jail cell and befriended him. In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. After Emma introduced everyone to each other, Tierno freed AZ from his cell. The group headed towards the [[ultimate weapon]]'s control room, where they found that X failed to defeat [[Lysandre]], but was able to free Xerneas. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.

In ''[[PS581|Rhyhorn Charges]]'', AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take Emma and the others back to the surface. Xerneas joined {{adv|Y}}'s team and was [[nickname]]d Xerxer. Y ordered Xerxer to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.

In ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]'', [[Professor Sycamore]] was attacked by a group of {{p|Hawlucha}} under Essentia's command. When X's group rescued the professor, they realized the Hawlucha had a Trainer and went around to find them. Upon being found by Y, Essentia used her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to take control of Y's Xerxer. X and Y fought with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon, but the battle was interrupted by the arrival of {{adv|Zygarde}}, who aimed to suppress Xerxer's power. While Zygarde charged itself with the power of nature, it was left defenseless, giving Essentia the chance to catch it, losing control of Xerxer in the process. Essentia fled, but the repeated damage to her suit prevented Xerosic from being able to communicate with or control her.

In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Lysandre summoned Essentia and Zygarde to battle X, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Blaine}} at the [[Pokémon Village]]. With a remote control device designed by Xerosic, Lysandre controlled Essentia's body like a puppet instead of her usual AI and forced her to command Zygarde's attacks. While Zygarde fought {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X decided to take out Essentia to stop her from controlling it. He had [[Marisso]] attack Essentia, shattering her helmet, only to be horrified to learn it was Emma in the suit. X tried to help Emma out the suit, but she refused, noting how the suit made her feel safe and protected. When asked if defeating Team Flare would make people treat Emma better, X was left speechless.

In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X told Emma that despite how hard life is, she still has people who care about her. Hearing X's words, Emma became encouraged to fight Lysandre, but she was still under his control. Cassius arrived and destroyed the remote, freeing Emma. Before Emma could give a command to Zygarde, she was attacked by Lysandre, who took Zygarde's Poké Ball and used it to send everyone flying away. Emma and Cassius survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to Lumiose City. After they arrived, Emma and Cassius waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.

It was used to attack [[Gurkinn]] and [[Korrina]] at the [[Tower of Mastery]]. It kept Korrina distracted while Essentia talked to Gurkinn. Due to its typing, Korrina's Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} was unable to do any damage to it. When Trevenant began covering the tower in its roots, Gurkinn and Korrina destroyed the tower to protect it from being taken by Essentia. While overseeing the plan to move {{p|Xerneas}} to Team Flare's base, Trevenant was used to patrol the forest and keep out any intruders. There, it battled X and Y and managed to defeat them both by binding them and their Pokémon with the forest's plants. After being freed, X fought Trevenant with his newly-obtained {{p|Gengar}}, Garma. By Mega Evolving Garma into Mega Gengar, Trevenant was easily defeated.

Trevenant's known moves are {{m|Horn Leech}}, {{m|Bulldoze}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.}}

During her battle against Y, Emma used a single Hawlucha to battle her. By throwing stones, it managed to knock Y out of the air. Without their team member, the other three Hawlucha lost their teamwork and were easily defeated by X's team.

Doing so left it completely defenseless, allowing Essentia to easily capture it and escape. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Blaine}}. As it battled {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X had his [[Marisso]] smash Essentia's helmet in the hopes that it may sever Lysandre's connection to Zygarde. After Emma decides to fight Lysandre, he steals Zygarde's Poké Ball, allowing him to directly command it.}}

** Emma's yellow hairclip is similar to the organs under an {{p|Espurr}}'s ears.
** All of Emma's fully-evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have a [[Mega Evolution]] each.
* Photos with [[Xerosic]] and [[Looker]] can be found in Emma's office in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

'''Team Flare''' (Japanese: '''{{j|フレア{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Flare-dan'', ''lit. Flare Gang'') is the [[villainous team]] with their organization based in the [[Kalos]] region. Their goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money and eliminating everyone who does not follow their standards.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon X and Y===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Team Flare Introduction XY.png|thumb|250px|left|Team Flare's introduction]]
Team Flare appears in {{pkmn|X and Y}}. They are first encountered in [[Glittering Cave]], where they attempt to steal [[fossil]]s off the researcher working there, but are stopped by the {{player}} and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}}. This occurs without the researcher noticing. They next appear in a scene in {{rt|10|Kalos}}, examining the mysterious rock formation. The Grunt defeated in Glittering Cave challenges the player to a rematch.

In [[Geosenge Town]], they are seen examining the rock formations there, when a grunt is encountered by the player and tries to flee. Once he is followed, there appears to be an entrance to a cavern which has been blocked off. This is later revealed to be [[Team Flare Secret HQ]].

On {{rt|13|Kalos}}, it is revealed that a problem inside the [[Kalos Power Plant]] is responsible for the blackout in [[Lumiose City]], which is preventing the player from accessing the majority of the city, including the [[Lumiose Gym]]. A Team Flare Grunt outside the Power Plant drops a [[Power Plant Pass]], which the player uses to enter the building. Inside the building, a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} and Team Flare Scientist [[Aliana]] are siphoning electricity from the Power Plant, causing the blackout. Once they are defeated, the player can progress to Lumiose City.

At [[Laverre City]], Team Flare Grunts are blocking the player from entering {{rt|15|Kalos}} and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] until the player has defeated the [[Laverre Gym]] and received the {{Badge|Fairy}}. At that point {{ga|Shauna}} tricks the Grunt guarding the Poké Ball Factory away so the player and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} can enter. Although the player defeats them, the Team Flare Scientists are able to steal many of the Poké Balls, with the exception of the [[Master Ball]].

In [[Frost Cavern]], a Trainer's {{p|Mamoswine}}, which the player needs to traverse the snow-blocked {{rt|17|Kalos}}, is upset. Upon reaching the depths of the Cavern, Team Flare, led by [[Mable]], are antagonizing an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Once she has been defeated, the Abomasnow gives the player an [[Abomasite]], and the player is now able to traverse Route 17 on the Mamoswine.

Team Flare does not appear again until the player has received their seventh badge from the [[Anistar Gym]], where [[Lysandre]] reveals that he is the leader of Team Flare, and sends out a live broadcast to all trainers around Kalos via the Holo Caster. During the broadcast, Lysandre reveals Team Flare's plans of using the "[[ultimate weapon]]", a machine built by the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] 3,000 years ago that can eliminate all life. To achieve this, Lysandre plans to use {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} to activate the machine in [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]].

Lysandre Labs' secret entrance is located inside {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}, where Lysandre greets the player with a battle, before moving to the basement. Once the player reaches the basement, he is revealed to have imprisoned AZ, who tells the player the history of the ultimate weapon. The player then encounters [[Xerosic]] in conversation with Lysandre, whereupon Lysandre promises to deactivate the weapon if the player defeats Xerosic. However, despite this promise, Xerosic still activates the weapon by remote control, even if the player manages to switch off the weapon. The weapon, situated in [[Geosenge Town]], activates from the three {{wp|menhir}}s in the center of the town.

[[File:Xerneas Encounter.png|thumb|left|220px|Encountering Xerneas by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
[[File:Yveltal Encounter.png|thumb|220px|Encountering Yveltal by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
The player then enters the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], to the Northwest of the town, which was previously blocked. After battling Lysandre, the player, with the help of Calem/Serena and Shauna, make their way down to the legendary Pokémon. The player encounters the legendary Pokémon, and after catching {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, Lysandre challenges the player to one last battle. After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and their friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the [[Mega Evolution]] achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to force immortality on the player and their friends{{sup/6|X}}/destroy everyone in the building{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. The blast from the weapon destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble. As a result, Team Flare disbands. In {{g|Legends: Z-A}} it would be revealed that Lysandre was saved from the rubble by [[Zygarde]], though he had both lost his memory and become immortal due to the ultimate weapon's power.

Despite the collapse of Team Flare, however, the player encounters them once more. After defeating the [[Diantha|Champion]], during the main post-game side story, [[Looker]] arrives in Lumiose City with the intent of apprehending a criminal he is tracking, enlisting the player and a young homeless girl named [[Emma]] to aid him. A crime wave breaks out in the city, and the culprit is ultimately revealed to be one of Team Flare's scientists, [[Xerosic]], conducting an experiment using what little funds he still has following the disbanding of Team Flare. After the player defeats "Essentia," the creation of his project, Xerosic relents and surrenders to Looker, ending Team Flare's reign of terror once and for all.

[[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]] was also a member of Team Flare; however, she was not revealed to be with them until after Lysandre is defeated. Instead, she is the host of the newscasts occasionally sent through the [[Holo Caster]]. In Pokémon Legends: ZA it is revealed that she was an Admin and participated in the mission to capture Yveltal, which left her weakened and unable to participate in the battle against the player and their friends.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], further information relating to the origins of Team Flare is revealed by former Team Flare grunts [[Grisham]] and [[Griselle]]. They reveal that the organization once existed as a place for people to come together and help one another; however, Lysandre eventually grew disillusioned with humanity and sought to decrease the global population. To this end, he decided to use the ultimate weapon, which resulted in the disbanding of Team Flare, with former members being arrested or regarded as outcasts in society. Lysandre Café, the location of [[Lysandre Labs]], eventually grew derelict, as none wanted to rent a location so closely associated with Team Flare. Grisham and Griselle have started [[Team Flare Nouveau]] and wish to fix Team Flare's reputation.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====''{{aniseries|XY}}''====
Lysandre debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. He was seen monitoring [[Alain's Charizard]]'s energy levels during its [[Mega Evolution]] from [[Lysandre Labs|his laboratory]], and was apparently pleased with the result. He reappeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', when he visited the ruins [[Steven Stone]] was investigating, leading to an attack by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', thanks to the efforts of [[Alain]], {{Steven}}, and their Pokémon, Lysandre was able to secure a gigantic [[Key Stone]], the [[Giant Rock]], for his research.

[[Malva]] debuted in person in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', battling Alain and Charizard with her {{me|Houndoom}}. The battle eventually ended in Alain's victory.

Team Flare, as a collective entity, debuted in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', with the {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s and the five Scientists all making appearances. They reappeared in ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]''.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Xerosic and two {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s conducted a test of a prototype weapon that was being powered by {{p|Zygarde}} and the Mega Evolution energy.

They infiltrated Prism Tower in ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', and executed their scheme after the conclusion of the Lumiose Conference in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', using Zygarde to slowly destroy the Kalos region, starting with Lumiose City. Starting from ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Ash and his friends try to stop Team Flare, with Ash himself getting captured so that Lysandre could closely observe the [[Bond Phenomenon]] between Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}. During [[XY133|the next episode]], Ash broke free, and Alain, shocked by the results of his actions, defected from the team, with the duo facing Lysandre. Meanwhile, Xerosic successfully captured [[Squishy]], while {{an|Clemont}} and [[Clembot]] were able to infiltrate the Lumiose Gym, capturing Aliana and Bryony in the process. During the events of ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was defeated by Ash, Malva, and Alain and seemingly committed suicide, while Celosia and Mable were defeated and imprisoned by Team Rocket. Lysandre Labs was then destroyed when the [[Giant Rock]] transformed into a giant copy of Zygarde. During ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Lysandre was revealed to have survived and began controlling the giant rock with a control device, which he used to battle Ash, Alain, Malva, Steven, Professor Sycamore, Diantha, and all of Kalos' Gym Leaders. Squishy and [[Z2]] transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and battled against it. In the end, Ash and Alain destroyed Lysandre's control device while Zygarde destroyed the Giant Rock with {{m|Core Enforcer}}. The explosion engulfed Lysandre as he fell into it with his fate unknown. Afterwards, Malva promised to hunt down the other Team Flare members and afterwards turn herself in as well.

Though not mentioned by name, in ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', it was revealed that the Kalos region was still suffering from the effects of the actions orchestrated by Team Flare. In this episode, Ash and {{AP|Lucario}} teamed up with Greninja to destroy some of the Giant Rock's remaining roots.

Unlike the games, where Team Flare hunts down Xerneas or Yveltal, {{p|Zygarde}} is their main target in {{aniseries|PTS}}. Instead of stealing Poké Balls or electricity to further their plans, they utilize energy collected from Pokémon undergoing Mega Evolution.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:PG16.png|thumb|250px|Team Flare in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Team Flare appeared in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'', where Lysandre introduced the [[Holo Caster]] in [[Kalos]]. It was also revealed that Team Flare was secretly in the process of developing "Project Y". Later, Team Flare's [[Team Flare Secret HQ|secret HQ]] was seen, where {{p|Yveltal}} was being kept while sleeping in its cocoon form.

==In the manga==
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Team Flare Scientists in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Team Flare appear as the main antagonists of the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}. The four Scientists first appear seeking to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]] with various schemes, but were thwarted several times. Lysandre also made an appearance with [[Professor Sycamore]], acquiring a video file of Xerneas and Yveltal for his research.

After Xerneas and Yveltal's clash in [[Vaniville Town]], Team Flare took all the people and Pokémon in the city and imprisoned them in [[Team Flare Secret HQ|their HQ]], including {{adv|Y}}'s mother {{kal|Grace}}. Using [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}'s mind controlling powers, the villainous team forced their prisoners to transport Xerneas, which had retreated to its tree form, from {{rt|8|Kalos}} to [[Geosenge Town]] to be used as an energy source for the [[ultimate weapon]].

After locating Team Flare's hideout, X and his friends stormed the base, and as a result of their actions, [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] was awakened and later joined Y's team, and the ultimate weapon's blast was weakened so that no innocent lives were lost. As a result, Team Flare decided to go hiding in the [[Pokémon Village]] in order to plan their next move. Team Flare eventually planned to activate the ultimate weapon again by transporting Pokémon from the Pokémon Village to the stones at the [[Kalos Route 10|Menhir Trail]] in order to absorb their bioenergy. Their plan was stopped by the teamwork of [[Alexa]], [[Bonnie]], [[Clemont]], [[Viola]], and the {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s led by [[Yvette]], while five other Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s and three of the [[Elite Four]] defeated their forces of grunts stationed elsewhere around Kalos.

==In the TCG==
[[File:TeamFlareGruntXY129.jpg|200px|thumb|right|{{TCG ID|XY|Team Flare Grunt|129}}, the first card depicting Team Flare.]]
Team Flare has appeared in the Trading Card Game, primarily in the {{TCG|XY Series}}. However, where the prior [[villainous team]]s of [[Team Rocket]], [[Team Aqua]], [[Team Magma]], [[Team Galactic]] and [[Team Plasma]] received themed sets, dedicated card types, and specific support for their cards, Team Flare only has a minor presence in the game overall. This would further herald a de-emphasizing of the villainous teams in the TCG overall.

As always, Team Flare's representation in the TCG started with {{TCG ID|XY|Team Flare Grunt|129}} in {{TCG|XY}}, kicking off a pattern of Grunt cards manipulating the opponent's {{TCG|Energy card}}s. {{TCG|Flashfire}} brought in the team's leader, [[Lysandre]], onto the card {{TCG ID|Flashfire|Lysandre|90}}, notably duplicating the effect of {{TCG|Pokémon Catcher}} from before it was weakened by an errata from the XY set. That card also established villainous team leaders being associated with effects that forcibly put one of the opponent's [[Benched Pokémon]] as their [[Active Pokémon]].
[[File:BattleCompressorPhantomForces92.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Battle Compressor|92}}, one of the most powerful Team Flare Gear.]]
{{TCG|Phantom Forces}} was the major Team Flare set, though the set is not named after the team as seen in prior villain-themed sets. There were seven cards associated with Team Flare.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/xy-phantom-forces Phantom Forces set overview]</ref> Two of them are {{TCG|Supporter card}}s, {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Xerosic|110}} for [[Xerosic|the team's most well known admin]] and {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Lysandre's Trump Card|99}} representing Lysandre equipped with the Lysandre Machine for his final battle. "Trump Card" proved to be extremely powerful, and the card was eventually banned from {{TCG|Standard format|Standard}} and {{TCG|Expanded format|Expanded}}. Joining the supporters were three '''Team Flare Gear''' cards, {{TCG|Item card}}s themed to Team Flare, and two {{TCG|Team Flare Hyper Gear}} cards, {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s which are attached to the opponent's {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} to hinder them. The Team Flare Hyper Gear cards feature an especially eye-catching visual treatment, incorporating the team's red color into the frame elements and a large "FLARE" watermark over the textbox. After this set, Team Flare themed cards petered out completely, with older villainous teams like Aqua, Magma, and Rocket getting other cards later on during the {{TCG|XY Series}}.

[[File:BossOrdersShiningFates58.jpg|200px|thumb|right|{{TCG|Boss's Orders}} has versions which depict Lysandre.]]
The Sun & Moon briefly returned to Team Flare. Two campaigns tied to villainous teams led to Pikachu being released for each team as {{TCG|SM-P Promotional cards}}. Team Flare is one such team, so the {{TCG ID|SM-P Promo|Pretend Grunt Pikachu|14}} for 2016 included a Pikachu as a Team Flare Grunt among the other Pikachu as Grunts, and {{TCG ID|SM-P Promo|Pretend Boss Pikachu|196}} was released in 2018 as part of the Team Rainbow Rocket's Ambition campaign. The latter is, understandably for a pretend boss of Team Flare, a Pikachu dressed to resemble Lysandre.

2018's {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} had a [[Kalos]] theme, so there is some Team Flare representation in that set. {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Lysandre ♢|110}}, {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Lysandre Labs|111}}, and {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Pyroar|19}} are the three cards from this set, of which there is some synergy between the trio. The Pyroar represents Lysandre's own, and gets a boost to its attack's damage from the presence of Lysandre Labs. Lysandre {{Prism Star}} is more effective when there are more Fire types in play, such as the Pyroar.

Cards themed to match Team Flare are present in later {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} sets, though they are for specific characters rather than the group as a whole, and as such there is not a loose "Team Flare matters" group of cards. {{TCG|Rebel Clash}} introduces {{TCG|Boss's Orders}}, a card which causes an opponent's Benched Pokémon to become their Active Pokémon, which is the same effect as the Lysandre card. Instead of being named after a specific character, Boss's Orders is named generically so it can represent any villainous team leader.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/favorite-pokemon-tcg-cards-of-the-galar-era-from-tord-reklev-jason-klaczynski-michael-pramawat-ross-cawthon-and-mike-martin Favorite Pokémon TCG Cards of the Galar Era from Tord Reklev, Jason Klaczynski, Michael Pramawat, Ross Cawthon, and Mike Martin], [[Mike Martin]] for [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> A field in the upper right corner indicates the character of the card. While the Rebel Clash version of the card is [[Giovanni]] themed, {{TCG|Shining Fates}} introduces a [[Lysandre]] variant. {{TCG|Silver Tempest}}'s Trainer Gallery has a printing of {{TCG ID|Chilling Reign|Malamar|70}} with [[Xerosic]].

==Trivia==
* Many of Team Flare's targets share notable similarities with [[Team Rocket]]'s targets: a cave where a regional [[Fossil]] can be obtained ([[Glittering Cave]] and [[Mt. Moon]]), a [[Poké Ball]]-producing facility where the [[Master Ball]] can be obtained ([[Poké Ball Factory]] and [[Silph Co.]]), a Pokémon [[Template:Burial ground|burial ground]] ({{rt|10|Kalos}} and [[Pokémon Tower]]), the regional [[Power Plant]] ([[Kalos Power Plant]] and [[Kanto Power Plant]]), and a location where experiments involving agitating a certain Pokémon are conducted ({{p|Abomasnow}} in [[Frost Cavern]] and [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]).
* The names of Team Flare's scientists are possibly a reference to {{wp|solar flare}}s, which are classified as [[Aliana|A]], [[Bryony|B]], [[Celosia|C]], [[Mable|M]], or [[Xerosic|X]] according to their peak flux range. Those are the scientists' initials in each localization of {{g|X and Y}}. Incidentally, the games were released during {{wp|solar maximum}}, a period of high solar activity with frequent solar flares.
*According to a girl in Lysandre Café, it costs {{PDollar}}5,000,000 to join Team Flare.
* Team Flare is the only pre-[[Generation VIII]] villainous team to not receive a [[Nintendo 3DS themes|3DS theme]] based on them.
** The artist of these themes, [[Hitoshi Ariga]], revealed that there were plans to create a 3DS theme for Team Flare, but they fell through as a result of the series moving from the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] to the [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230410112857/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1641046957325193217</ref>

'''Korrina''' (Japanese: '''コルニ''' ''Corni''<ref>[https://bandai-a.akamaihd.net/bc/images/shop_top_candytoy/awefawef_01lucario.jpg "Corni & Mega Lucario"] [[Pokémon Scale World]] figurine catalog image</ref>) is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Shalour City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Shalour Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Rumble}} to Trainers who defeat her. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Successor''' (Japanese: '''けいしょうしゃ''' ''Successor'').

===In the core series games===
===Appearance===
Korrina is tall and slender pale girl with very long knee-length creamy blonde hair tied in a big, thick, high fluffy ponytail that emerges from the back of her helmet. She has gray eyes and a fair complexion. Korrina wears a typical skater attire, consisting of a short white and red sleeveless dress over black cycling shorts and a white and red helmet on her head. In her left hand she holds the Mega Glove, which has the same function as the Mega Ring. She also wears white boots with red heart decals, which also function as skates.

===Role===
[[File:Korrina Gym Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Korrina about to battle the player]]
[[File:Korrina Tower of Mastery XY.png|thumb|250px|Korrina challenging the player at the Tower of Mastery]]
Korrina appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a [[Gym Leader]] from [[Shalour City]]. Trainers who defeat Korrina will receive the {{badge|Rumble}}, along with {{TM|98|Power-Up Punch}}. According to the [[television]] show ''Gym Freaks'' and an NPC at [[Lumiose City|Café Action!]], she is a [[Trainer PR Video|PR Video]] star. It also states that she dresses up in costumes; her magnificent legs able to shatter cave rocks into pieces using her axe-kick move.

Korrina first appears on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, when one of her Lucario comes up to the {{player}} while she is doing some special training. She notes about how Lucario has taken a liking to the player's [[aura]], then introduces herself to the player as the Shalour City Gym Leader. She then appears in [[Geosenge Town]], where she challenges the player to a battle with her two {{p|Lucario}}.

After arriving in Shalour City, Korrina can be found in the [[Tower of Mastery]] with her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru. Once the player wins the battle for the [[Mega Ring]] against their rival, Korrina will go to her Gym for a battle.

After battling her at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, Korrina gives the player the Mega Ring. After that, the Lucario that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a [[Lucarionite]]. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.

Once the player obtains rank of Marquis/Marchioness at the [[Battle Chateau]], Korrina and the other Gym Leaders will be able to be battled there for [[rematch]]es. There, Korrina will possess the rank of Marchioness.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
Korrina and her Lucario appear in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It took place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. The other members of her team are [[Cynthia]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.

Korrina and her Lucario also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Korrina and the other non-Cynthia members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In Leon themed events, Korrina and the other non-Leon members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Cynthia and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In this mode, Korrina and her Lucario never use [[Holowear]].

Unlike other Trainers in this game, Korrina and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Korrina has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Lucario with two dimensional artwork (the normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used). This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE#Battle Items|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[Eject Button]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Viola Korrina Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Korrina in Pokémon Adventures]]
Korrina debuted in ''[[PS556|Lucky Lucario Was Here]]''. She first appeared in [[Santalune City]] after being called there by [[Viola]]. As soon as she arrived, she helped {{adv|X}} defeat [[Celosia]], a [[Team Flare]] scientist, and retrieve a [[Kangaskhanite]] she stole. Later, Korrina gave {{adv|Tierno}} a pair of [[Roller Skates]] as a gift. Upon learning X received his [[Mega Ring]] without the proper succession ceremony, Korrina refused to acknowledge X as a true Mega Evolution Successor and angrily left without telling him more about it.

In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'', Korrina returned to the [[Tower of Mastery]], where she demanded that [[Gurkinn]] explain why he gave X a Mega Ring. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by a {{p|Trevenant}} used by [[Emma|Essentia]], another Team Flare member. Korrina and Gurkinn fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina reluctantly helped Gurkinn activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Korrina met [[Diantha]], one of Gurkinn's students. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack by [[Chalmers]], a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}. Once Gurkinn was rescued, he, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Afterward, Diantha joined Korrina and Gurkinn and they set off to keep the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} out of Team Flare's clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Korrina, Gurkinn, and Diantha helped X and his friends fight Team Flare on {{rt|9|Kalos}} to stop them from taking Xerneas's tree form. Gurkinn helped X take on Essentia, Diantha was challenged by [[Malva]], while Korrina went ahead to keep Celosia from transporting Xerneas to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. After a tough battle, Korrina's {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} defeated Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}}, but fainted from exhaustion afterward. As she confidently proclaimed victory, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's lurking behind her and launching an attack. Later, X and his friends found Korrina's unconsciouus body, where they learned that Celosia successfully took Xerneas as well as taking the [[Key Stone]] in Korrina's Mega Glove.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Korrina was taken to a hospital in [[Laverre City]] to recover from her injuries. In ''[[PS594|Floette Returns]]'', three months after Team Flare's defeat, Korrina was revealed to have fully recuperated. X was asked by Korrina to come to [[Shalour City]] to become an official Mega Evolution Successor. Once X arrived at the city, however, Korrina was upset to see that he did not bring his friends for the succession ceremony. She then had him call for his friends before proceeding with the ceremony.

'''Nihil Light''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|無|む}}に{{ruby|帰|き}}す{{ruby|光|ひかり}}''' ''Light That Returns to Nothing'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It is the [[signature move]] of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Zygarde}}.

==Effect==
===Generation IX===
Nihil Light deals damage and ignores any [[stat]] changes affecting its targets. It also bypasses {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s immunity to {{type|Dragon}} [[move]]s.

====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====

|}
|}{{left clear}}

==Learnset==
===Special move===
If {{p|Zygarde}} Complete Forme knows {{m|Core Enforcer}}, for the duration that it [[Mega Evolve]]s into Mega Zygarde, Core Enforcer will become Nihil Light.

{{Movefoot|Dragon|1}}



==Trivia==
* "''Nihil''" is Latin for "nothing".
* Nihil Light is the only new [[move]] introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].
* The Japanese name of Nihil Light uses {{wp|kanji}}, which is similar to some [[signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]]s.
** Specifically, this move is similar to {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}, which can be only used when {{p|Necrozma}} changes its form into [[Ultra Burst|Ultra]] Necrozma, much like how Zygarde needs to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde in order to use Nihil Light.
** [[Lysandre|L]] mentions to the player that seeing Zygarde use Nihil Light reminded him of Z-Moves.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it Mega Evolved—they reminded me of Z-Moves, like those used in the [[Alola]] [[region]]."'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>
* Nihil Light is the only move that is exclusively usable by a Mega Evolved Pokémon.
* Nihil Light is tied with a {{m|Devastating Drake}} based on {{m|Roar of Time}} for the highest base [[power]] of all {{type|Dragon}} moves.

'''Commander Kamado''' (Japanese: '''デンボク''' ''Denboku'') is the boss of the [[Galaxy Team]]. He is an ancestor of [[Professor Rowan]].<ref name="ancestor"/>

==In the core series games==
Kamado makes his first appearance in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], where the {{player}} meets him in the [[Galaxy Hall]] after passing Captain [[Cyllene]]'s trial and becoming an official member of the Galaxy Expedition Team. He issues missions for the player to quell the frenzied [[Noble Pokémon|noble Pokémon]] of the [[Hisui]] [[region]] over the course of the game. He is cautious of the player's identity and intentions, reminding them that they are still a stranger who came from the space-time rift; despite this, he still acknowledges and respects the player's battling prowess as they complete his orders. When the space-time rift grows as a result of the player quelling all of the nobles, Kamado banishes them from the village, believing them to have some sort of connection to the rift and the lightning which agitated the nobles. He is later confronted and defeated by the player at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], where he concedes to the player and entrusts them with the task of properly dealing with {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}.

Kamado immigrated to Hisui from an unspecified region, after his and [[Beni]]'s hometown was burned down by maddened Pokémon. Kamado and Beni then came to Hisui, where he hoped to build a new home where people could live free from the fear of Pokémon. After experiencing the incident in his hometown, Kamado strives to protect the people he serves over, which often leads to him making rash, often dangerous decisions.

==Trivia==
* Kamado practices {{wp|sumo}} and is infamous for sumo throwing people.
* Kamado's mustache is reminiscent of those shown on menpō used by samurai. Such facial hair was historically associated with a warlike character.<ref>[https://mai-ko.com/travel/japanese-history/museum-notes/the-samurai-face-masks-men-yoroi-menpou/ Tea Ceremony Kyoto Museum] ''"The purpose of the mustache is to give it more natural look and also more war-like look. During the peaceful ego{{sic}} period all the men were asked to shave their beards because having a beard may mean the daimyos want to fight and want to revolt against the shogunate."''</ref>
* The suit of armor that Kamado wears while battling is highly similar to that of [[Wikstrom]] of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]]. Said armor is also stated to be from [[Galar]].
** Kamado's armor is on display at the [[Lumiose Museum]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. The description points out its similarity to Wikstrom's armor, and says that when asked about it Wikstrom said it was possibly something his ancestors gifted to Galarians long ago.
* A framed photograph on Kamado's office desk in the Galaxy Team HQ appears to depict him with an unidentified woman.
* In the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], when Kamado loses his composure, he takes on a dialect that is often associated with the real life {{wp|Kansai region}}, the region [[Johto]] is based on.
** In the Italian version, Kamado mentions the [[Whirl Islands]] and [[Mt. Silver]] by name.<ref>'''Soruan:''' ''"Cosa...? Dice che ne arriva un altro?! Per tutti i mulinelli delle [[Whirl Islands|Isole Vorticose]]! Ma la Catena rossa è ormai in pezzi! Affrontare un’altra lotta del genere sarebbe troppo persino per <Player>!"'' ({{pkmn|Legends: Arceus|Leggende Pokémon: Arceus}})</ref><ref>'''Soruan:''' ''"Malediz... <Player>! Ritirata, ho detto! O ti faccio fare un volo da qui al [[Mt. Silver|Monte Argento]]!"'' ({{pkmn|Legends: Arceus|Leggende Pokémon: Arceus}})</ref>

}}
The '''Elite Four''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|四天王|してんのう}}''' ''The Big Four''<ref>English translation used in the pre-battle intro of the Elite Four in the Japanese version of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}</ref>) are four [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who are regarded as the toughest in their [[region]]al [[Pokémon League]], just short of the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. Those who challenge the Elite Four must have won all eight [[Badge]]s from that region (or, for Trainers in [[Alola]], must have completed all of their [[island challenge]] trials). To become Champion, Trainers must face all four and the current Champion consecutively without losing to any of them. Challengers who lose at any time must start their challenge from the beginning. In [[Paldea]], the challenge is named the Elite Test, and is part of the greater Champion Assessment.

One group resides at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Kanto]] and are considered the best Trainers in both Kanto and [[Johto]]. Another group is located in [[Ever Grande City]] in [[Hoenn]], while another is located on [[Mount Lanakila]] in [[Alola]]. Four more groups reside at the Pokémon Leagues in {{si|Pokémon League|Sinnoh}}, {{un|Pokémon League|Unova}}, {{kal|Pokémon League|Kalos}}, and {{pal|Pokémon League|Paldea}}.

In the games, they use strong {{cat|medicine}} items in battles. In [[Generation II]], they use [[Max Potion]]s, and from [[Generation III]] onwards, they use [[Full Restore]]s. Like [[Gym Leader]]s, they typically specialize in Pokémon of a particular [[type]]. Prior to [[Generation V]] and in [[Paldea]], the Elite Four typically progresses in [[level]] with their Pokémon in the games and must be challenged in a set order. From Generation V to Generation VII, all members of the Elite Four (except in [[remake]]s) use Pokémon of the same levels, as they can be challenged in any order. At [[Blueberry Academy]], [[Crispin]]'s Pokémon are one level lower than the others, but the Elite Four can be battled in any order.

In [[Generation VIII]], the [[Galar League|Pokémon League]] in the [[Galar]] region uses the Champion Cup tournament instead of an Elite Four.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
In {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], there is a group composed of powerful four members called the [[Grand Master]]s, who are the counterpart of the Elite Four in these games. Defeating them earns the player the Legendary Cards.
{{-}}

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} infrequently met Elite Four members, who then imparted them with battle strategies.

In ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', [[Lucian]] revealed that when a Trainer wins their respective region's {{pkmn|League Conference}}, they can participate in the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}}, fighting the members of that region's Elite Four, and, if victorious against them, the regional {{pkmn|Champion}} as well. It has also been shown that an Elite Four member can challenge the Champion for their title.

In {{aniseries|JN}}, some members of the Elite Four from around the world (such as {{an|Lance}}, [[Flint]], and [[Drasna]]), were shown participating in the [[World Coronation Series]].

====Kanto Elite Four====
In [[Kanto]], Ash has met the entire original Elite Four roster:
*[[Bruno]] was the first Elite Four member to appear in the animated series (excluding [[Koga]], who was later promoted to be one in [[Generation II]]), in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected]]''.
*[[Lorelei]] appeared in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', but she is named "Prima" in the English [[dub]].
*{{an|Lance}} debuted in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'', where he was mentioned to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} rather than a regular member of the Elite Four. He is referred to as a member of the Elite Four in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]''. From ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'' onwards, he's referred to as the Champion once again, with him being mentioned to have claimed that title recently.
*[[Agatha]] appeared in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', where she was acting as a temporary [[Gym Leader]] for the [[Viridian Gym]].
**[[Koga]], though not an Elite Four member, debuted in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', where he had a Gym battle against Ash.

====Hoenn Elite Four====
In [[Hoenn]], Ash has met only one Elite Four member:
*Only [[Drake]] appeared in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', where he invited Ash and his friends to his boat, where he had a battle with Ash. He reappeared in ''[[JN088|Looking Out for Number Two!]]'', where he was shown to have become a treasure hunter in addition to his Elite Four duties.

====Sinnoh Elite Four====
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png|thumb|250px|The Sinnoh Elite Four in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
In [[Sinnoh]], Ash has also met the entire Elite Four roster:
*[[Lucian]] debuted in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'', where he had a battle with {{an|Dawn}}, using his {{p|Bronzong}} against her {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}. He also helped her to deal with Buizel's [[obedience]] issues.
*[[Aaron]] debuted in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', where he was seen training to challenge {{an|Cynthia}}.
*[[Flint]] debuted in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', where he had a battle with Ash, using his {{TP|Flint|Infernape}} against his {{AP|Buizel}}, {{AP|Infernape}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}. In ''[[JN100|Meeting Up with the Monarch!]]'', Flint was revealed to have entered the [[World Coronation Series]].
*[[Bertha]] appeared in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'', where she taught Ash and Dawn how observation skills can be useful in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest]]s. She's the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four to never be seen battling Cynthia.

====Unova Elite Four====
In [[Unova]], Ash has also seen only one Elite Four member:
*Only [[Caitlin]] debuted in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', where she faced off against {{an|Cynthia}} during an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]].

====Kalos Elite Four====
[[File:Wikstrom and Drasna.png|thumb|left|250px|Wikstrom and Drasna; two members of the Kalos Elite Four]]
In [[Kalos]], the entire Elite Four roster has appeared, with Ash having met three of them. Unlike the games, all members of the Elite Four of Kalos have at least one Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]:
*[[Siebold]] appeared in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', where he used his {{me|Blastoise}} to battle [[Alain]] and his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X.
*[[Wikstrom]] first appeared in a cameo in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', in which he was seen battling [[Diantha]], using his Mega {{p|Scizor}} against her Mega {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}}. He made his animated series debut in ''[[JN056|Searching for Chivalry!]]'', in which Ash met him for the first time when he visited the [[Castle of Chivalry]] in order to train with his {{AP|Farfetch'd}}.
*[[Malva]] debuted in ''[[XY092|Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!]]'' in a video transmission. Ash didn't meet her until ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where he was interviewed by her. Like in the games, she's featured as a member of [[Team Flare]], but ends up opposing [[Lysandre]] when his big plan is put into action.
*[[Drasna]] appeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'' and ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]''. She battled Ash in a [[World Coronation Series]] match at the [[Lumiose Conference]] stadium and ultimately lost, marking the first time Ash has defeated an Elite Four member.

====Alola Elite Four====
In [[Alola]], Ash has met the entire Elite Four rosters from both the {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} paired versions, though none of them presented themselves as such, because the Alola League was not established until ''[[SM115|The Dealer of Destruction!]]'' in the animated series:
*[[Hala]] debuted in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', where he led Ash to [[Verdant Cavern]] so he could start his [[island challenge]].
*[[Olivia]] debuted in ''[[SM031|The Island Whisperer!]]'', where she took Ash and his classmates to [[Akala Island]] and began hosting them during their stay there.
*[[Acerola]] debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'', though Ash didn't meet her until the [[SM074|next episode]], where she assisted him in his first battle against [[Nanu]].
*[[Molayne]] debuted in ''[[SM079|Showering the World with Love!]]'', where he showed Ash and his classmates around the [[Hokulani Observatory]].
*[[Kahili]] debuted in ''[[SM110|Keeping Your Eyes on the Ball!]]'', where she took Ash and his classmates to a Pokémon Golf course and taught them the sport. She later participated in the [[Manalo Conference]], but lost in the preliminary round.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Kanto Elite Four Adventures.png|110px|thumb|Kanto Elite Four in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
The Kanto Elite Four, consisting of [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], [[Lance]], and [[Agatha]], made their debut in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', watching the final battle between {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
The Kanto Elite Four served as the primary antagonists for this arc, seeking to wipe out most of humanity in order to create a utopia for Pokémon. They are each said to be so powerful that the triad leaders of [[Team Rocket]], [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]], all had to begrudgingly team up with the protagonists and {{adv|Blaine}} to take just a single one of them at their base of operations on [[Cerise Island]].

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The Johto Elite Four is formed at the end of this arc, following the defeat of the [[Masked Man]]. It consists of accomplished Pokémon Trainers that were formerly part of criminal organizations, who would eventually rise as the official Elite Four of [[Indigo Plateau]]. [[Will]], Bruno, [[Karen]], and Koga united to train together after they were no longer being controlled.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
[[File:Hoenn Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Hoenn Elite Four in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Hoenn Elite Four, consisting of [[Sidney]], [[Phoebe]], [[Glacia]], and [[Drake]], made an appearance in this arc, helping to find and catch the {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}} in order to contain the massive surge of energy created by the clash of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} alongside {{Steven}} and [[Wallace]], their two regional {{pkmn|Champion}}s. It is also during the Hoenn Elite Four's appearance that the challenge of the Elite Four and Champion was mentioned as having replaced a knockout tournament to determine the best Trainer in the region.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
The first Sinnoh Elite Four member to debut in the series was [[Flint]], who made a cameo appearance in the last chapter of this arc.

===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
[[Aaron]], [[Bertha]], and [[Lucian]] debuted in this arc, where they were enlisted by the [[Pokémon Association]] Chairman to decode the ancient writings in [[Charon]]'s memobook. Meanwhile, Flint accompanied [[Volkner]] to the [[Distortion World]] so that they could battle {{p|Giratina}} for their own amusement.

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
[[File:Johto Elite Four Adventures.png|220px|thumb|The Johto Elite Four in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Johto Elite Four reappeared in this arc, where they faced {{adv|Gold}} in various [[Pokéathlon]] events and later fought [[Lance's Dragonite]] when it went berserk.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
The Unova Elite Four first appeared in this arc as {{adv|Black}} cited them during his daily pledge. However, they never appeared to the main characters as a group. Besides [[Caitlin]], who already appeared in the ''Platinum'' arc, [[Grimsley]] met Black on {{rt|4|Unova}}, [[Shauntal]] met {{adv|White}} aboard the [[Battle Subway]], and [[Marshal]] met both in [[Nimbasa City]]. All four converged for the duration of the {{un|Pokémon League|Unova League}} tournament that would have determined the Trainer that would challenge them. They also participated in the battle against [[Team Plasma]] and the {{adv|forces of nature}} when [[N's Castle]] rose from the ground.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
The first Kalos Elite Four member to appear is [[Malva]], who appeared in person in this arc. [[Drasna]], [[Wikstrom]], and [[Siebold]] were mentioned by [[Diantha]] during her conversation with [[Gurkinn]] and [[Korrina]]. Siebold later appeared in the [[Lost Hotel]], cooking a meal for {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}'s friends, as a way of apologizing for his lack of participation against [[Team Flare]]. Wikstrom and Drasna later appeared in person, assisting X and Y's group in their quest to stop Team Flare. Drasna gave them information about {{adv|Zygarde}} and Wikstrom used his {{p|Probopass}} to guide them to Team Flare's hideout at the [[Pokémon Village]]. Malva, bearing a searing hatred for Diantha, battled against the Kalos Champion twice over the course of the arc.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
While never actually forming, the members comprising the Alola Elite Four appear individually throughout the arc. [[Hala]] and [[Olivia]] debuted in ''[[PASM02|The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl]]'', discussing the sightings of the [[guardian deities]] around Alola with [[Nanu]]. [[Kahili]] debuted in ''[[PASM10|Defeat and the Commander of the School of Fish]]'', coming back to Alola and speculating the [[Ultra Beast]]s were the source of the guardian deities' rage. In ''[[PASM15|Shipwreck and "Oh, What Sharp Teeth You Have, Bruxish!"]]'', [[Acerola]] found an unconscious {{adv|Sun}} and [[Lillie]] on a beach and took them to the [[Aether House]] to recuperate. [[Molayne]] debuted in ''[[PASM19|Truth and the Mastermind Behind Team Skull]]'', helping innocent civilians escape from the Ultra Beasts wreaking havoc on [[Ula'ula Island]].

===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====

[[Rika]] debuted in [[PASV12]]. She, along with [[Geeta]], was first seen watching the [[Gym]] battle between {{adv|Scarlet}} and [[Iono]] in [[Levincia]]. [[Larry]] debuted in [[PASV17]], where he defended [[Penny]] from a group of {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s. The next day, he forced Violet into a battle at the [[Medali Gym]] to determine if he was strong enough to face the Quaking Earth {{pkmn2|Titan}}. After losing, Hassel, [[Poppy]], and Rika approached Larry. Along with Geeta, they figured out who {{Scarlet}} was.
[[File:Paldea Elite Four HZM.png|220px|thumb|Paldea Elite Four in {{OBP|Anime Pocket Monsters: Liko and Roy's Adventure|manga}}]]

===Pocket Monsters===
The Paldea Elite Four members appeared in [[HZM03]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
*The only [[type]]s that have yet to be specialized in by any Elite Four member are {{t|Normal}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Electric}}.
**Although [[Larry]] of the [[Paldea]] Elite Four specializes in the Normal type in his capacity as a [[Gym Leader]], he specializes in {{t|Flying}} types as an Elite Four member.
**Although {{t|Fairy}} has been represented in the BB League, the type has yet to be represented in a mainline Elite Four group.
*The most common type specialization for members of the Elite Four is {{t|Dragon}}, with five specialists.
*[[Koga]], [[Aaron]], [[Siebold]], [[Olivia]], and [[Lacey]] are the only Elite Four members to specialize in their chosen types ({{t|Poison}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Fairy}}, respectively).
*Every {{type|Ghost}} Elite Four member is female.
*{{p|Bronzong}} is the Pokémon used most frequently by Elite Four members, being used by four of them: [[Will]], [[Lucian]], [[Caitlin]], and [[Poppy]].
**Of these, Poppy is the only one who does not specialize in {{t|Psychic}} types, instead specializing in {{t|Steel}} types.
*In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the battles against [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], and [[Agatha]] use the standard {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle theme. The battle against [[Lance]], however, uses the usual Gym Leader battle theme.
**In the [[remake]]s, the Gym Leader battle theme plays in the battles with all members of the Elite Four.
*In the [[Kanto]]-based games:
**The Elite Four's specialty types are the ones that were the least common Pokémon types in [[Generation I]].
**Every Elite Four member has at least one Pokémon not of their specialty type in their initial battle.
*The Kalos Elite Four members are the only ones who do not have higher level Pokémon in future rematches with them in any game.
**Additionally, they are the only ones who use just four Pokémon in rematches with them. All other Elite Four members use either five or six Pokémon during rematches.
*The Alola Elite Four is the only Elite Four with more female than male members.
*{{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} are the only core series games to feature a Pokémon League but not an Elite Four. Instead, the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] takes its place.
*The [[Paldea League|Paldea Elite Four]] is the only Elite Four to not be able to be [[rematch]]ed as a group. Instead, the Elite Four and Champion can be rebattled through other means:
**[[Hassel]] can be rebattled as a part of the [[Academy Ace Tournament]]. However, Hassel battles in his capacity as an {{tc|Instructor}} rather than as an Elite Four member.
**Larry can be rebattled once in his capacity as a [[Gym Leader]].
**In [[The Indigo Disk]], all four can be rebattled in the [[League Club Room]] at [[Blueberry Academy]], although Larry battles as a Gym Leader and Hassel as an Instructor.
*The type specialties of the Paldea Elite Four are the types of the [[Titan Pokémon]]. The Stony Cliff Titan's type is filled in by [[Geeta]], who {{Tera}}stallizes her {{p|Glimmora}} into the Rock type.
*Prior to [[Generation VI]], the English names of the Elite Four are puns based on their respective specialized types. From [[Generation VII]] onwards, they all possess flora-based names similar to the [[Pokémon Professor]]s. The same applies to each region's Gym Leaders.
*Except for [[Unova]], at least one Elite Four representative from each region introduced up to [[Generation VIII]] appeared in {{aniseries|JN}}.
*The Unova Elite Four are the only Elite Four where all members have at least one type advantage over another.
*The BB League Elite Four is the only Elite Four whose members use a full team of six Pokémon for their initial battles.
*[[Drayton]] informally names parts of the Elite Four by replacing “Four” with the number of people he is referring to; i.e. “Elite One”, “Elite Two”, and “Elite Three”.
*Every Elite Four has featured at least one specialist representing the Ghost, Psychic, or Dragon type.

===Name origin===
The Japanese name of the Elite Four literally translates to the ''{{wp|Four Heavenly Kings}}'', a term of Buddhist origins that refers to the group of four {{wp|devas|guardian deities}} presiding over each of the four cardinal directions. By extension, it connotes an ensemble of four leaders in a particular field, akin to the {{wp|Big Four}} in English.

The English translation of "the big four" had also appeared in the Japanese and Korean version of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

'''Korrina''' (Japanese: '''コルニ''' ''Corni''<ref>[https://bandai-a.akamaihd.net/bc/images/shop_top_candytoy/awefawef_01lucario.jpg "Corni & Mega Lucario"] [[Pokémon Scale World]] figurine catalog image</ref>) is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Shalour City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Shalour Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Rumble}} to Trainers who defeat her. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Successor''' (Japanese: '''けいしょうしゃ''' ''Successor'').

===In the core series games===
===Appearance===
Korrina is tall and slender pale girl with very long knee-length creamy blonde hair tied in a big, thick, high fluffy ponytail that emerges from the back of her helmet. She has gray eyes and a fair complexion. Korrina wears a typical skater attire, consisting of a short white and red sleeveless dress over black cycling shorts and a white and red helmet on her head. In her left hand she holds the Mega Glove, which has the same function as the Mega Ring. She also wears white boots with red heart decals, which also function as skates.

===Role===
[[File:Korrina Gym Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Korrina about to battle the player]]
[[File:Korrina Tower of Mastery XY.png|thumb|250px|Korrina challenging the player at the Tower of Mastery]]
Korrina appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a [[Gym Leader]] from [[Shalour City]]. Trainers who defeat Korrina will receive the {{badge|Rumble}}, along with {{TM|98|Power-Up Punch}}. According to the [[television]] show ''Gym Freaks'' and an NPC at [[Lumiose City|Café Action!]], she is a [[Trainer PR Video|PR Video]] star. It also states that she dresses up in costumes; her magnificent legs able to shatter cave rocks into pieces using her axe-kick move.

Korrina first appears on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, when one of her Lucario comes up to the {{player}} while she is doing some special training. She notes about how Lucario has taken a liking to the player's [[aura]], then introduces herself to the player as the Shalour City Gym Leader. She then appears in [[Geosenge Town]], where she challenges the player to a battle with her two {{p|Lucario}}.

After arriving in Shalour City, Korrina can be found in the [[Tower of Mastery]] with her grandfather [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru. Once the player wins the battle for the [[Mega Ring]] against their rival, Korrina will go to her Gym for a battle.

After battling her at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, Korrina gives the player the Mega Ring. After that, the Lucario that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a [[Lucarionite]]. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.

Once the player obtains rank of Marquis/Marchioness at the [[Battle Chateau]], Korrina and the other Gym Leaders will be able to be battled there for [[rematch]]es. There, Korrina will possess the rank of Marchioness.

Unlike other Trainers in this game, Korrina and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Korrina has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Lucario with two dimensional artwork (the normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used). This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE#Battle Items|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[Eject Button]].

{{main|Korrina (anime)}}
Korrina is a recurring character in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' who met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'' on their way to her hometown. The group accompanied her as she traveled to [[Geosenge Town]] to understand and master the [[Mega Evolution]] of her trusted partner {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. She left the group at [[Pomace Mountain]] in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', and eventually battled Ash in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', where Ash emerged victorious. She made later appearances in ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', and returned in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Viola Korrina Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Korrina in Pokémon Adventures]]
Korrina debuted in ''[[PS556|Lucky Lucario Was Here]]''. She first appeared in [[Santalune City]] after being called there by [[Viola]]. As soon as she arrived, she helped {{adv|X}} defeat [[Celosia]], a [[Team Flare]] scientist, and retrieve a [[Kangaskhanite]] she stole. Later, Korrina gave {{adv|Tierno}} a pair of [[Roller Skates]] as a gift. Upon learning X received his [[Mega Ring]] without the proper succession ceremony, Korrina refused to acknowledge X as a true Mega Evolution Successor and angrily left without telling him more about it.

In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'', Korrina returned to the [[Tower of Mastery]], where she demanded that [[Gurkinn]] explain why he gave X a Mega Ring. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by a {{p|Trevenant}} used by [[Emma|Essentia]], another Team Flare member. Korrina and Gurkinn fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina reluctantly helped Gurkinn activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Korrina met [[Diantha]], one of Gurkinn's students. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack by [[Chalmers]], a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}. Once Gurkinn was rescued, he, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Afterward, Diantha joined Korrina and Gurkinn and they set off to keep the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} out of Team Flare's clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Korrina, Gurkinn, and Diantha helped X and his friends fight Team Flare on {{rt|9|Kalos}} to stop them from taking Xerneas's tree form. Gurkinn helped X take on Essentia, Diantha was challenged by [[Malva]], while Korrina went ahead to keep Celosia from transporting Xerneas to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. After a tough battle, Korrina's {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} defeated Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}}, but fainted from exhaustion afterward. As she confidently proclaimed victory, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's lurking behind her and launching an attack. Later, X and his friends found Korrina's unconsciouus body, where they learned that Celosia successfully took Xerneas as well as taking the [[Key Stone]] in Korrina's Mega Glove.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Korrina was taken to a hospital in [[Laverre City]] to recover from her injuries. In ''[[PS594|Floette Returns]]'', three months after Team Flare's defeat, Korrina was revealed to have fully recuperated. X was asked by Korrina to come to [[Shalour City]] to become an official Mega Evolution Successor. Once X arrived at the city, however, Korrina was upset to see that he did not bring his friends for the succession ceremony. She then had him call for his friends before proceeding with the ceremony.

'''Professor Augustine Sycamore''' (Japanese: '''プラターヌ博士''' ''Dr. Platane'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] from the [[Kalos]] region. He specializes in both [[Evolution]], [[Mega Evolution]], and change.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Sycamore Intro XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Sycamore in the opening of Pokémon X and Y]]
Professor Sycamore is mentioned as the one who selected a group made up of the [[player character]], the opposite-gendered character, [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]], and [[Trevor]] to help him with his research, sending the [[Prof's Letter]] to the {{kal|Grace|player's mother}} to ask her permission. Professor Sycamore personally gives Trevor and Tierno their [[Pokédex]] and first Pokémon, asking them to deliver both a Pokédex and a first partner Pokémon for the remaining three members of the group. He sends the three [[Kalos first partner Pokémon]] through Tierno.

The player first meets him in [[Lumiose City]], where he will battle the player and, afterward, gives them one of the three [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and its final evolved form's [[Mega Stone]]. On the way to [[Shalour City]], he will instruct the player to meet [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru, to learn and get a better understanding about [[Mega Evolution]]. Later, he appears at the [[Coumarine City]] monorail station and talks to [[Diantha]] about Mega Evolution and how it may be possibly related to the bonds between Pokémon and their Trainers. There, he will congratulate the player for using Mega Evolution for the first time and gives them {{HM|02|Fly}}.

He feels disappointed when [[Lysandre]] reveals himself to be the boss of [[Team Flare]], but turns to his network of acquaintances to try to stop the villainous team's plan. He sends [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] to the [[Lysandre Labs]] in order to investigate Team Flare's interest in [[AZ]] and how to thwart their plans.

[[File:Sycamore Lab XY.png|thumb|250px|Sycamore at his lab in Pokémon X and Y]]
At [[Couriway Town]], he will apologize to the player for not preventing what Lysandre had done. He then challenges the player to another battle to test how far they have come in their journey. After being defeated, he informs the player that he has a special surprise for helping stop [[Team Flare]] and leaves. Once the player has beaten the {{kal|Pokémon League}}, he leads a parade for the player in Lumiose City, where he awards them and their friends with the [[Honor of Kalos]] for their heroics.

Later, he tells the player to meet him in Lumiose Station, where he gives them a [[TMV Pass]] to board a train to [[Kiloude City]]. After {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} is defeated in Kiloude, Professor Sycamore will upgrade the player's [[Mega Ring]] in [[Anistar City]] so that they can detect hidden Mega Stones around [[Kalos]] from 8 PM to 9 PM.

When the Pokédex is evaluated at his lab in [[Lumiose City]], Sycamore will give the player an [[Oval Charm]] for completing all three Kalos [[Pokédex]]es (Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos) and a [[Shiny Charm]] for completing the [[National Pokédex]].

Professor Sycamore is also [[List of cross-generational references|mentioned]] in {{game4|SMUSUM}}, where Dexio and Sina reveal that he was the one who discovered the [[Zygarde Cube]].

Professor Sycamore does not physically appear in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. It is confirmed by an NPC in the lab that he had resigned as the director of the Pokémon Research Lab, with [[Mable]] serving as acting director in his place. He does, however, appear in a few photos hanging up in the lab. A different NPC mentions that Sycamore is currently in another region with Trevor, with the two conducting research together.

After being defeated for the first time in Lumiose City, Professor Sycamore will let the player choose themselves one of the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]]. After the player has chosen their Pokémon, Professor will also give the player the first partner Pokémon's final Evolution's respective [[Mega Stone]] (if Charmander was chosen, the Charizardite received will depend on the version of the game that's being played).

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Professor Sycamore Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Professor Sycamore in Pokémon Adventures]]
Professor Sycamore debuts in the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}. He is first seen messaging {{adv|Trevor}} via [[Holo Caster]] to inform him that the package of first partner Pokémon he requested has been sent to Trevor's house. When Trevor arrives to take the three Pokémon, he is shocked to find the Legendary Pokémon [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} have appeared and begin battling each other. The battle causes destruction and mass panic in Vaniville Town, but Trevor manages to record footage of the event on his Holo Caster before it gets damaged. Once the two Pokémon leave, Trevor decides to travel with his friends to find answers as to what happened while also wanting to meet up with the professor in Lumiose City.

Sycamore debuts in person at his lab in Lumiose City, where he shows the footage Trevor recorded to Lysandre. Sycamore also gives a copy of the footage so that it may be used for further study.

Later, Trevor and his friends make it to Lumiose City. There, they meet with Professor Sycamore and return the {{p|Charmander}} that had previously escaped from Sycamore's lab. Trevor, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} are sent to Lysandre Café to have Trevor's Holo Caster fixed while {{adv|X}} stays behind. When X reveals that he doesn't want to take the {{p|Chespin}} that Trevor got for him because he worries that it will only get caught up in the constant attacks from [[Team Flare]], Professor Sycamore decides to challenge him to a battle in hopes of changing his mind. Although X agrees, he is angered when he is forced to use Chespin instead of [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]. The battle ends with Professor Sycamore as the victor. Despite the lack of interest in the fight, X is impressed by Chespin's valor enough to take it on his team and give it a nickname. Much to Professor Sycamore's surprise and confusion, X also takes an interest in training the Charmander.

Afterward, the two head off to the Prism Tower while riding the Gogoat Shuttle service. When X's friends ask Sycamore about Lysandre's scary demeanor, Sycamore laughs their worries off and assumes they were just shocked from his majestic personality. He then heads inside Prism Tower to have an interview with Lumiose Press.

Sometime after Team Flare's plot to use the ultimate weapon fails, Professor Sycamore apologizes to X and his friends for not noticing that Lysandre was actually the leader of Team Flare earlier. He asks them to head to Anistar City, where he may use the secrets of the Anistar Sundial to help them stop Team Flare. When X's group arrives at Anistar to meet with the Professor, they find him surrounded by four {{p|Hawlucha}} while dangling on a harness connected to the Anistar Sundial. X and Y free the Professor and battle against the Hawlucha, whose Trainer is hidden in the area. While X's team battles the Hawlucha, Sycamore reveals that the effects of the ultimate weapon firing on Kalos have made it so that X and Y can track Mega Stones with their [[Mega Ring]]s, but only from 8 PM to 9 PM. X and Y decide to take this information to look for the Mega Stones for their new team members, {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and {{p|Absol|Solsol}}, but realize that the person who commanded the Hawlucha is still at large. While X and Y stay behind to face the unknown Trainer, Tierno and Shauna take their Mega Rings to find the Mega Stones for Rute and Solsol. As Tierno and Shauna search for the Mega Stones, Y discovers the person who attacked Sycamore was [[Emma|Essentia]], a member of Team Flare, and battles her. After Essentia escapes, Sycamore learns from his assistants that Team Flare are hiding at the [[Pokémon Village]].

Later, after Team Flare is defeated once and for all, Professor Sycamore, the Kalos Gym Leaders, [[Alexa]], [[Bonnie]], and [[Yvette]] congratulate X and his friends for their victory. Professor Sycamore proposes to have a party and parade as a celebration for their heroics, but Trevor declines, as he and his friends prefer to stick close to one another. Later, Sycamore talks to {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Blaine}} about their involvement in the battle against Team Flare. Blue and Blaine reveal that after they witnessed Zygarde disintegrate into its Cells, they noticed a green figure from where it once stood. Sycamore reveals that similar creatures have been seen in the [[Alola]] region, and sends Sina and Dexio there to investigate. While Sina and Dexio are away, Sycamore has Trevor take their place as his assistant.

'''Trevor''' (Japanese: '''トロバ''' ''Trova'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] of the {{player}} in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:Friends XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Trevor with the player's other friends in Aquacorde Town]]
Trevor appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a friend of the player. Trevor delivers the player a [[Pokédex]] on behalf of [[Professor Sycamore]], and he aims to be the first among his friends to finish collecting data for his Pokédex. Trevor and his older sister live in [[Lumiose City]], near Jaune Plaza. Ever since their parents left them behind in order to travel around the world and train their Pokémon, it has been Trevor's dream to travel all over Kalos with a Pokédex of his own. He first battles the player on {{rt|7|Kalos}} alongside [[Tierno]]. From then on, Trevor occasionally engages in his own kind of battle with the player, comparing how much each has completed the Pokédex and losing every time.

When the {{p|Abomasnow}} in [[Frost Cavern]] is threatened by [[Team Flare]], Trevor comes and helps the player by battling one Team Flare Grunt's Mightyena to let the player beat [[Mable]] and save the Abomasnow.

After the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], Trevor can be found in [[Geosenge Town]]. There, he will tell the player about various Pokémon that can use [[Mega Evolution]].

Trevor captures many different kinds of Pokémon to complete his Pokédex, but the Pokémon he keeps in his party tend to be members of the [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Fairy Egg Group]] or ones revived from [[Fossil]]s.

Trevor also appears as one of the player's partners in the [[Battle Maison]] when choosing Multi Battle.

Trevor is mentioned by an NPC in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} who states that he and Professor Sycamore are currently in another region together for research.

'''Mable''' (Japanese: '''モミジ''' ''Momiji'') is formerly one of five [[Team Flare]] scientists in {{g|X and Y}}. She returns in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, where she is the acting director of the [[Sycamore Pokémon Lab|Pokémon Research Lab]].

==In the core series games==

=== [[Pokémon X and Y]] ===
Mable is one of five [[Team Flare]] scientists that are the driving force behind the team, being distinguishable with her blue hair, blue lipstick, and her prominent visor. She is first seen in the [[Frost Cavern]] agitating an {{p|Abomasnow}} with two {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s. With [[Trevor]] helping the {{player}} in defeating the Grunts, the player then defeats Mable and forces her to retreat.

She is met again at [[Lysandre Labs]], preparing for Team Flare's plan to use the [[ultimate weapon]]. Upon being defeated again, she hands the player the [[Elevator Key]] required to access the lower floors of the facility.

=== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ===
{{main|Mable's research}}
Sometime after the events of Pokémon X and Y, Mable, along with the other Team Flare members, was taken into custody. However, she was offered a plea deal and appointed as the acting director of the [[Sycamore Pokémon Lab|Pokémon Research Lab]] so the government can keep a close eye on her, effectively replacing [[Professor Sycamore]] following his resignation as the previous director some time before the events of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. Mable also mentions that she is not allowed to leave [[Lumiose City]]. Due to the sudden increase in Pokémon since the beginning of the urban redevelopment plan, she is researching the habits of these new Pokémon and the reason for their sudden surge in population. She seeks the {{player}}'s help in her investigation to offset her large workload by filling in the [[Pokédex]] and Mega Evolution Pokédex.

By helping complete her research requests, the player can earn [[TM]]s and other rewards.

* First meeting
:''"This {{p|Abomasnow}} is a fine specimen! It's absolutely brimming with energy. The more we agitate it, the stronger its {{a|Snow Warning}} Ability becomes, making the snow fall even more furiously. Let's catch it swiftly and get out of here."''
:''"What does it look like? We're catching Pokémon. Why else would we have grabbed all of those [[Poké Ball]]s? It was all so we could catch powerful Pokémon like this Abomasnow. It's full of potent energy!"''
:''"You're not the brightest one, are you? Whoever has the most Pokémon and the most energy will come out on top! Lazy people who just wait for things to be handed to them don't get to have these resources!"''
:''"Allow me to spell it out for you! It's so Team Flare--and only Team Flare--can survive! After all, why should we care about saving people who aren't on our side? Anyway, I don't mind a healthy curiosity, but I'm afraid I just don't have any more time for you."''
:''"You two--hurry up and send these kids packing!"''

* Before battle
:''"Hmm... You're more powerful than you look. I wonder how much energy there is inside you."''

* Being defeated
:''"Not just strong... TOO strong! Not ordinary, indeed..."''

* After being defeated
:''"Hrmph! I've no patience for losing. Let's get out of here!"''

::'''No:''' ''"Oh! Well, of course you're not! You have your Pokémon, huh?''
:::'''Either way:''' ''We gather data all about the Trainers in the region through the [[Holo Caster]], so we know all about you guys. And you know how the [[Mega Ring]] is used to awaken a Pokémon's power, right? Just like how the [[ultimate weapon]] can max out a Pokémon's power. Heheh... Looks like you and me are practically after the same thing, yeah?"''

:''"Oooh, you are strong! You and your Pokémon are most certainly not ordinary!"''

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
In the past, Mable, alongside [[Lysandre]] and the other [[Team Flare]] Scientists, would help those in need, until Lysandre became disillusioned with the [[human]] race and sought to restart the world.

Mable debuted in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. She was first seen leading a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s in [[Terminus Cave]], where they attempted to capture {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|50%}} {{p|Zygarde}}. However, all of their Pokémon's combined attacks didn't even phase the [[Legendary Pokémon]], which used {{m|Land's Wrath}} on the [[villainous team]] members before disappearing. Mable was later seen informing Lysandre and [[Xerosic]] of the failure of her mission.

Mable briefly appeared in ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'' in a video call with Xerosic, where she and [[Aliana]] were ordered to head to [[Z2]] after Team Flare discovered its location thanks to their sensors.
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Mable (far left)]]
In ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', she, Aliana, and several Team Flare Grunts were trying to capture Z2. She managed to hit Z2 with a beam from her specialized gun, preventing Z2 from camouflaging itself. When she and Aliana ordered their Pokémon, {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Druddigon}}, to attack Z2, it transformed into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|10% Forme}} and used its powerful attacks to defeat Team Flare and managed to escape. She and Aliana caught up to it, only to face {{TRT}}, who wanted Z2 for themselves. Due to Team Rocket's intervention, Z2 managed to escape once again. Team Flare, however, quickly found them and a battle between both teams took place. After a prolonged struggle, Team Flare emerged victorious and managed to corner Z2. This, however, triggered Z2 to transform to its 50% Forme and it easily blew Mable and the others back. As Z2 was about to finish them off, [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} interfered and battled Z2 to buy her and Aliana time. While Z2 was battling, she and Aliana surprised it by shooting it with their laser guns, finally bringing it down and captured it, completing their mission.

During Team Flare's attack on [[Lumiose City]], Mable had been ordered to stay at [[Lysandre Labs]]. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', she and Celosia saw a helicopter containing {{an|Serena}}, [[Mairin]], [[Professor Sycamore]], and Team Rocket nearing Lysandre Labs through their security cameras. In [[XY134|the following episode]], Mable tried taking down the helicopter with her Weavile, but she was attacked by {{Steven}} and his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}. She and several Team Flare Grunts then faced Steven in battle, but were presumably defeated. In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Mable joined Celosia in her battle against Team Rocket. However, the two Scientists were quickly defeated and subdued.

When Z2 transformed to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|10% Forme}}, it was easily beaten back. It was later used twice against {{TRT}} to try to retrieve Z2. While it failed to defeat their Pokémon the first time it succeeded the second time and managed to corner Z2. It, however, was blown back once more when Z2 transformed to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|50% Forme}}. After Z2 was brought down, Weavile and Druddigon were used to blast Team Rocket off.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Mable used Weavile to attack the helicopter that {{an|Serena}}, Team Rocket, [[Mairin]], and [[Professor Sycamore]] were using to approach [[Lysandre Labs]]. After the arrvial of {{Steven}}, Weavile and several Team Grunt's Pokémon battled [[Steven's Metagross]], but were presumably defeated. Weavile appeared again in [[XY135|the next episode]], where it aided [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Drapion}} in its battle against Team Rocket. After its and Drapion's attacks were countered by [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]]'s {{m|Mirror Coat}}, the two Pokemon and their Trainer's were subdued by Team Rocket's net.

Weavile's known moves are {{m|Metal Claw}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Icy Wind}}, and {{m|Ice Shard}}.}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Adventures.png|thumb|right|300px|Mable in Pokémon Adventures]]
Mable debuted in ''[[PS550|X-actly What They Wanted]]''. She, [[Aliana]], and a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s traveled to [[Vaniville Town]] to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]]. While protecting her {{pkmn|Trainer}} from the two scientists, X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]] was injured. This angered Kanga's baby, Li'l Kanga, who reacted to the Mega Ring and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Kangaskhan and easily drove the villains off.

In ''[[PS551|Inn-teresting Developments]]'', X's friends stayed at an [[Aquacorde Town]] inn while he slept in the tent on {{adv|Y}}'s {{p|Rhyhorn}}'s back. The inn was a trap designed to keep Y and the others inside while Mable and Aliana tried to steal Li'l Kanga when X wasn't looking. Y broke out and informed X of the situation, but when he tried to Mega Evolve Li'l Kanga again, it failed. With no other options, X and Y teamed up with [[Marisso|Chespin]] and [[Croaky|Froakie]] to defeat the scientists. X had Chespin pin Mable and Aliana to a tree with {{m|Pin Missile}}, preventing them from chasing the Vaniville children as they fled to a nearby forest.

In ''[[PS555|The Aegislash Agenda]]'', Mable and Aliana met with [[Bryony]] and [[Xerosic]] at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. They were informed that their repeat failures have led to [[Celosia]] taking over their duties.

In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', Mable and the other female scientists witnessed X trying to break into the Secret HQ. Noting Celosia hadn't slept since she brought [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] back to base, Mable and Aliana offered to stop X in her place, only for Bryony to tell them to return to their stations. Later, after the [[ultimate weapon]] was stopped by X and his friends, Mable and Aliana helped Bryony up after she was defeated by Y and her newly caught Xerxer.

In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', Mable and the other female scientists each intercepted Y and her friends to prevent them from reaching the [[Pokémon Village]]. Mable picked {{adv|Tierno}} as her opponent. Although Mable proved to be powerful, she was defeated when Tierno's {{p|Corphish}} evolved into {{p|Crawdaunt}}, giving it the power to take down Mable and her {{p|Houndoom}} at the same time.

She attacked {{adv|Y}} when she attempted to protect X, only to be defeated by X's Li'l Kanga after she Mega Evolved into Mega Kangaskhan. At Aquacorde Town, she was used to try and capture X's Li'l Kanga. While X and [[Marisso|Chespin]] fought Aliana and her {{p|Diggersby}}, [[Croaky|Froakie]] fought Houndoom. Later, she was used to fight Tierno's {{p|Corphish}} on the route to Pokémon Village. After Corphish evolved into a {{p|Crawdaunt}}, it defeated both Houndoom and her Trainer with a powerful {{m|Guillotine}}.

Houndoom's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Inferno}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Mable's design for Pokémon X and Y was illustrated by [[Rafał Gosieniecki]].<ref name=instagram>[https://www.instagram.com/p/CHaXIiIHaPY/ Rafał Gosieniecki's Instagram]</ref>
* The visor Mable once wore during her time as one of Team Flare's scientists appears on her desk, next to her laptop.
* Her chair in the Research Lab bears resemblance to a typical gaming chair, and sports the former Team Flare logo on it, in blue, implying she took the logo and repurposed it for herself.
* She is the only member of Team Flare whose eye color is known, aside from [[Lysandre]] and [[Malva]].
* Some aspects of Mable's redesign for Legends: Z-A reference her previous design and past. She wears a clear visor over her eyes, a reference to her old visor, a blue tie around her neck, a callback to the blue tie she wore in her original design, and a white lab coat, which while typical of Pokémon Professors, is a reference to her former occupation as one of Team Flare's scientists.
* Her hairstyle, specifically the twintail loops, resembles that of the [[Pokémon Center lady]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

'''Bonnie''' (Japanese: '''ユリーカ''' ''Eureka'') is a young girl introduced in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. She is the younger sister of [[Clemont]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:XY Bonnie.png|thumb|250px|right|Bonnie in {{g|X and Y}}]]
Bonnie is present as an unwavering companion and supporter for her brother during his Gym battle with the player character. During the player's challenge of the Gym, she runs the quiz that the player must solve in order to challenge Clemont.

After defeating Clemont, Bonnie can be found on the first floor of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]]. If talked to with a Pokémon with max [[Affection]] in front of the party, she will award the player with a {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Best Friends Ribbon}}.

Clemont and Bonnie do not appear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, though they are mentioned by some NPCs in Lumiose City. The Lumiose Gym was temporarily closed two years prior when Prism Tower was closed for renovations by [[Quasartico Inc.]].

Bonnie appears in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' as a {{ashfr|traveling companion}} for {{Ash}} alongside {{an|Serena}} and her brother {{an|Clemont}}. She and Clemont first met Ash in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', but they officially began traveling with him in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''. She also reappeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' for a [[JN103|two-part]] [[JN104|episode]] set in Kalos.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Bonnie Adventures.png|thumb|130px|Bonnie in Pokémon Adventures]]
Bonnie debuted in ''[[PS563|Charging After Electrike]]''. She was first seen entering the Prism Tower, only to find the aftermath of a {{pkmn|battle}} between {{adv|X}} and the [[Lumiose Press editor-in-chief]], a member of [[Team Flare]]. To her shock, Bonnie noticed an {{p|Electrike}} that helped keep the tower active during a blackout had gone missing. She then went off to inform [[Clemont]] about what happened.

In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', Bonnie, Clemont, [[Alexa]], [[Viola]], and [[Yvette]] confronted Team Flare at {{rt|10|Kalos}}. Together, the group managed to successfully free the Pokémon Team Flare had captured. After Team Flare was fully defeated, Bonnie and her allies met with X and his friends at [[Lumiose City]] to congratulate them on their victory. She and Clemont also returned Furry, {{adv|Shauna}}'s missing {{p|Furfrou}}, to its Trainer.

{{main|Bonnie (Forbidden Light 103)}}
'''Bonnie''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese SM Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Forbidden Light|expansion of the same name}}, with the background artwork by [[Hideki Ishikawa]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in Forbidden Light, with an illustration by the same artist. It allows the player, if there is any [[Stadium card]] in play, to discard that Stadium card and to use {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Zygarde-GX|73}}'s GX attack even if the player has used a GX attack already.

'''Clemont''' (Japanese: '''シトロン''' ''Citron'') is an [[Clemontic Gear|inventor]] who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Lumiose City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Lumiose Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Voltage}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Clemont Gym XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Clemont challenging the player]]
Clemont is the fifth Gym Leader to be faced by the player. At some early point in the game, he gives a device that solves electronic puzzles to [[Shauna]]. He first appears outside the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] with his little sister, [[Bonnie]], lighting it up. He will give {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}} after being defeated. According to the [[television]] show ''Gym Freaks'', he is currently developing a machine that enables him to run faster, which is apparently his worst talent. It also states that he has secretly started to save money to go to the [[Nimbasa City|amusement park]] in the [[Unova]] region. He is described as a genius, having been credited with the invention of [[Super Training]]. Despite this, many of his inventions apparently fail to work.

Clemont and Bonnie do not appear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, though they are mentioned by some NPCs in Lumiose City. The Lumiose Gym was temporarily closed two years prior when Prism Tower was closed for renovations by [[Quasartico Inc.]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Grant Clemont Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Clemont in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Clemont debuted in ''[[PS563|Charging After Electrike]]''. He was first seen in [[Cyllage City]] alongside [[Grant]], who was helping him find {{type|Electric}} Pokémon to power the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] during a blackout. After witnessing {{kal|Grace}}, a famous {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer, being found and taken away by several {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s, the two were left wondering what happened. In ''[[PS565|Fast-Thinking Froakie]]'', Clemont found Grace's daughter, {{adv|Y}}, and her friends chasing an [[Élec|Electrike]] on {{rt|5|Kalos}}. After {{p|Electrike}} was defeated, it evolved into a {{p|Manectric}} and revealed it wanted Y to retrieve a [[Manectite]] stuck in a tree. Overhearing the commotion, Clemont introduced himself and offered to help get the [[Mega Stone]] in Y's place. Before Clemont could grab the stone, a Team Flare Grunt stole it and fled, causing a tree to fall on top of Clemont. {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Trevor}} went after the Grunt while Y helped free Clemont, who revealed what he saw happened to Grace in Cyllage.

In ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', Clemont and the others were saved by [[Cassius]], who defeated the Grunt's four {{p|Espurr}}. With the Espurr held captive, a curious Clemont took checked to see what was under their ears, causing him to be sent flying by the Espurr's unrestrained psychic power. The Grunt that stole the Manectite later found Clemont's unconscious body and captured him. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Clemont awakened in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], where he was greeted by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists. Xerosic freed Clemont from his bindings and ordered him to build a machine for Team Flare. Clemont initially refused, but was forced to comply after seeing Xerosic use his {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}} as a hostage.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', the device was finished and given to [[Lysandre]]. With Clemont having served his purpose, Xerosic order some Grunts to throw the boy down an incinerator chute. Using his {{p|Aipom}} Arm's camera function, Clemont discovered the Secret HQ was located in [[Geosenge Town]]. Around the same time in [[Laverre City]], X received a pair of glasses belonging to Clemont from a wild {{p|Klefki}}. Using the glasses, he also discovered where the Secret HQ was hidden and set out to confront Team Flare.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', Trevor, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} made it inside the Secret HQ, where they reunited with Clemont and freed [[AZ]], a giant man that was held prisoner. Clemont helped launch Trevor and the others to where the [[ultimate weapon]]'s key was held, but they were unable to pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. AZ stayed behind to allow [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to take Clemont and the others back to the surface. Once Xerneas joined Y, they attempted to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerxer confirmed this and retreated, taking everyone with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', [[Ramos]] revealed that Team Flare blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on the Gym Leaders and the [[Vaniville Town|Vaniville]] children. X and his friends were advised to keep out of the public's eye while the Gym Leaders helped rebuild the damaged areas. In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', Clemont, [[Bonnie]], [[Alexa]], [[Viola]], and [[Yvette]] confronted Team Flare at {{rt|10|Kalos}}. Together, the group managed to successfully free the Pokémon Team Flare had captured. After Team Flare was fully defeated, Clemont and his allies met with X and his friends at [[Lumiose City]] to congratulate them on their victory. He and Bonnie returned Furry, {{adv|Shauna}}'s missing {{p|Furfrou}}, to its Trainer. Clemont also gave Trevor [[Malva's Delphox]], who they faced on Route 10, due to Furry recognizing it as an ally.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
Clemont was mentioned by [[Professor Kukui]] in ''[[PASM03|Pokémon Move Specialist Professor Kukui]]'' as the one that invented the [[Rotom Pokédex]].

'''Team Flare''' (Japanese: '''{{j|フレア{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Flare-dan'', ''lit. Flare Gang'') is the [[villainous team]] with their organization based in the [[Kalos]] region. Their goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money and eliminating everyone who does not follow their standards.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon X and Y===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Team Flare Introduction XY.png|thumb|250px|left|Team Flare's introduction]]
Team Flare appears in {{pkmn|X and Y}}. They are first encountered in [[Glittering Cave]], where they attempt to steal [[fossil]]s off the researcher working there, but are stopped by the {{player}} and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}}. This occurs without the researcher noticing. They next appear in a scene in {{rt|10|Kalos}}, examining the mysterious rock formation. The Grunt defeated in Glittering Cave challenges the player to a rematch.

In [[Geosenge Town]], they are seen examining the rock formations there, when a grunt is encountered by the player and tries to flee. Once he is followed, there appears to be an entrance to a cavern which has been blocked off. This is later revealed to be [[Team Flare Secret HQ]].

On {{rt|13|Kalos}}, it is revealed that a problem inside the [[Kalos Power Plant]] is responsible for the blackout in [[Lumiose City]], which is preventing the player from accessing the majority of the city, including the [[Lumiose Gym]]. A Team Flare Grunt outside the Power Plant drops a [[Power Plant Pass]], which the player uses to enter the building. Inside the building, a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} and Team Flare Scientist [[Aliana]] are siphoning electricity from the Power Plant, causing the blackout. Once they are defeated, the player can progress to Lumiose City.

At [[Laverre City]], Team Flare Grunts are blocking the player from entering {{rt|15|Kalos}} and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] until the player has defeated the [[Laverre Gym]] and received the {{Badge|Fairy}}. At that point {{ga|Shauna}} tricks the Grunt guarding the Poké Ball Factory away so the player and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} can enter. Although the player defeats them, the Team Flare Scientists are able to steal many of the Poké Balls, with the exception of the [[Master Ball]].

In [[Frost Cavern]], a Trainer's {{p|Mamoswine}}, which the player needs to traverse the snow-blocked {{rt|17|Kalos}}, is upset. Upon reaching the depths of the Cavern, Team Flare, led by [[Mable]], are antagonizing an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Once she has been defeated, the Abomasnow gives the player an [[Abomasite]], and the player is now able to traverse Route 17 on the Mamoswine.

Team Flare does not appear again until the player has received their seventh badge from the [[Anistar Gym]], where [[Lysandre]] reveals that he is the leader of Team Flare, and sends out a live broadcast to all trainers around Kalos via the Holo Caster. During the broadcast, Lysandre reveals Team Flare's plans of using the "[[ultimate weapon]]", a machine built by the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] 3,000 years ago that can eliminate all life. To achieve this, Lysandre plans to use {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} to activate the machine in [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]].

Lysandre Labs' secret entrance is located inside {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}, where Lysandre greets the player with a battle, before moving to the basement. Once the player reaches the basement, he is revealed to have imprisoned AZ, who tells the player the history of the ultimate weapon. The player then encounters [[Xerosic]] in conversation with Lysandre, whereupon Lysandre promises to deactivate the weapon if the player defeats Xerosic. However, despite this promise, Xerosic still activates the weapon by remote control, even if the player manages to switch off the weapon. The weapon, situated in [[Geosenge Town]], activates from the three {{wp|menhir}}s in the center of the town.

[[File:Xerneas Encounter.png|thumb|left|220px|Encountering Xerneas by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
[[File:Yveltal Encounter.png|thumb|220px|Encountering Yveltal by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
The player then enters the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], to the Northwest of the town, which was previously blocked. After battling Lysandre, the player, with the help of Calem/Serena and Shauna, make their way down to the legendary Pokémon. The player encounters the legendary Pokémon, and after catching {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, Lysandre challenges the player to one last battle. After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and their friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the [[Mega Evolution]] achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to force immortality on the player and their friends{{sup/6|X}}/destroy everyone in the building{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. The blast from the weapon destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble. As a result, Team Flare disbands. It is unknown what becomes of Lysandre afterwards.

Despite the collapse of Team Flare, however, the player encounters them once more. After defeating the [[Diantha|Champion]], during the main post-game side story, [[Looker]] arrives in Lumiose City with the intent of apprehending a criminal he is tracking, enlisting the player and a young homeless girl named [[Emma]] to aid him. A crime wave breaks out in the city, and the culprit is ultimately revealed to be one of Team Flare's scientists, [[Xerosic]], conducting an experiment using what little funds he still has following the disbanding of Team Flare. After the player defeats "Essentia," the creation of his project, Xerosic relents and surrenders to Looker, ending Team Flare's reign of terror once and for all.

[[Elite Four]] member [[Malva]] was also a member of Team Flare; however, she was not revealed to be with them until after Lysandre is defeated. Instead, she is the host of the newscasts occasionally sent through the [[Holo Caster]]. Her rank in Team Flare is unknown, although she knows classified information.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], further information relating to the origins of Team Flare is revealed by former Team Flare grunts [[Grisham]] and [[Griselle]]. They reveal that the organization once existed as a place for people to come together and help one another; however, Lysandre eventually grew disillusioned with humanity and sought to decrease the global population. To this end, he decided to use the ultimate weapon, which resulted in the disbanding of Team Flare, with former members being arrested or regarded as outcasts in society. Lysandre Café, the location of [[Lysandre Labs]], eventually grew derelict, as none wanted to rent a location so closely associated with Team Flare. Grisham and Griselle have started [[Team Flare Nouveau]] and wish to fix Team Flare's reputation.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{mas|Lysandre}} and {{mas|Malva}} appear in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]

Team Flare members serve as supporting characters in the [[Villain Arc]].

====''{{aniseries|XY}}''====
Lysandre debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. He was seen monitoring [[Alain's Charizard]]'s energy levels during its [[Mega Evolution]] from [[Lysandre Labs|his laboratory]], and was apparently pleased with the result. He reappeared in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', when he visited the ruins [[Steven Stone]] was investigating, leading to an attack by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', thanks to the efforts of [[Alain]], {{Steven}}, and their Pokémon, Lysandre was able to secure a gigantic [[Key Stone]], the [[Giant Rock]], for his research.

[[Malva]] debuted in person in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', battling Alain and Charizard with her {{me|Houndoom}}. The battle eventually ended in Alain's victory.

Team Flare, as a collective entity, debuted in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', with the {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s and the five Scientists all making appearances. They reappeared in ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]''.

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Xerosic and two {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s conducted a test of a prototype weapon that was being powered by {{p|Zygarde}} and the Mega Evolution energy.

They infiltrated Prism Tower in ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', and executed their scheme after the conclusion of the Lumiose Conference in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', using Zygarde to slowly destroy the Kalos region, starting with Lumiose City. Starting from ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Ash and his friends try to stop Team Flare, with Ash himself getting captured so that Lysandre could closely observe the [[Bond Phenomenon]] between Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}. During [[XY133|the next episode]], Ash broke free, and Alain, shocked by the results of his actions, defected from the team, with the duo facing Lysandre. Meanwhile, Xerosic successfully captured [[Squishy]], while {{an|Clemont}} and [[Clembot]] were able to infiltrate the Lumiose Gym, capturing Aliana and Bryony in the process. During the events of ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was defeated by Ash, Malva, and Alain and seemingly committed suicide, while Celosia and Mable were defeated and imprisoned by Team Rocket. Lysandre Labs was then destroyed when the [[Giant Rock]] transformed into a giant copy of Zygarde. During ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Lysandre was revealed to have survived and began controlling the giant rock with a control device, which he used to battle Ash, Alain, Malva, Steven, Professor Sycamore, Diantha, and all of Kalos' Gym Leaders. Squishy and [[Z2]] transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and battled against it. In the end, Ash and Alain destroyed Lysandre's control device while Zygarde destroyed the Giant Rock with {{m|Core Enforcer}}. The explosion engulfed Lysandre as he fell into it with his fate unknown. Afterwards, Malva promised to hunt down the other Team Flare members and afterwards turn herself in as well.

Though not mentioned by name, in ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'', it was revealed that the Kalos region was still suffering from the effects of the actions orchestrated by Team Flare. In this episode, Ash and {{AP|Lucario}} teamed up with Greninja to destroy some of the Giant Rock's remaining roots.

Unlike the games, where Team Flare hunts down Xerneas or Yveltal, {{p|Zygarde}} is their main target in {{aniseries|PTS}}. Instead of stealing Poké Balls or electricity to further their plans, they utilize energy collected from Pokémon undergoing Mega Evolution.

[[File:PG16.png|thumb|250px|Team Flare in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Team Flare appeared in ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'', where Lysandre introduced the [[Holo Caster]] in [[Kalos]]. It was also revealed that Team Flare was secretly in the process of developing "Project Y". Later, Team Flare's [[Team Flare Secret HQ|secret HQ]] was seen, where {{p|Yveltal}} was being kept while sleeping in its cocoon form.

==In the manga==
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Team Flare Scientists in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Team Flare appear as the main antagonists of the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}. The four Scientists first appear seeking to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]] with various schemes, but were thwarted several times. Lysandre also made an appearance with [[Professor Sycamore]], acquiring a video file of Xerneas and Yveltal for his research.

After Xerneas and Yveltal's clash in [[Vaniville Town]], Team Flare took all the people and Pokémon in the city and imprisoned them in [[Team Flare Secret HQ|their HQ]], including {{adv|Y}}'s mother {{kal|Grace}}. Using [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}'s mind controlling powers, the villainous team forced their prisoners to transport Xerneas, which had retreated to its tree form, from {{rt|8|Kalos}} to [[Geosenge Town]] to be used as an energy source for the [[ultimate weapon]].

After locating Team Flare's hideout, X and his friends stormed the base, and as a result of their actions, [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] was awakened and later joined Y's team, and the ultimate weapon's blast was weakened so that no innocent lives were lost. As a result, Team Flare decided to go hiding in the [[Pokémon Village]] in order to plan their next move. Team Flare eventually planned to activate the ultimate weapon again by transporting Pokémon from the Pokémon Village to the stones at the [[Kalos Route 10|Menhir Trail]] in order to absorb their bioenergy. Their plan was stopped by the teamwork of [[Alexa]], [[Bonnie]], [[Clemont]], [[Viola]], and the {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s led by [[Yvette]], while five other Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s and three of the [[Elite Four]] defeated their forces of grunts stationed elsewhere around Kalos.

==In the TCG==
[[File:TeamFlareGruntXY129.jpg|200px|thumb|right|{{TCG ID|XY|Team Flare Grunt|129}}, the first card depicting Team Flare.]]
Team Flare has appeared in the Trading Card Game, primarily in the {{TCG|XY Series}}. However, where the prior [[villainous team]]s of [[Team Rocket]], [[Team Aqua]], [[Team Magma]], [[Team Galactic]] and [[Team Plasma]] received themed sets, dedicated card types, and specific support for their cards, Team Flare only has a minor presence in the game overall. This would further herald a de-emphasizing of the villainous teams in the TCG overall.

As always, Team Flare's representation in the TCG started with {{TCG ID|XY|Team Flare Grunt|129}} in {{TCG|XY}}, kicking off a pattern of Grunt cards manipulating the opponent's {{TCG|Energy card}}s. {{TCG|Flashfire}} brought in the team's leader, [[Lysandre]], onto the card {{TCG ID|Flashfire|Lysandre|90}}, notably duplicating the effect of {{TCG|Pokémon Catcher}} from before it was weakened by an errata from the XY set. That card also established villainous team leaders being associated with effects that forcibly put one of the opponent's [[Benched Pokémon]] as their [[Active Pokémon]].
[[File:BattleCompressorPhantomForces92.jpg|200px|thumb|left|{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Battle Compressor|92}}, one of the most powerful Team Flare Gear.]]
{{TCG|Phantom Forces}} was the major Team Flare set, though the set is not named after the team as seen in prior villain-themed sets. There were seven cards associated with Team Flare.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/xy-phantom-forces Phantom Forces set overview]</ref> Two of them are {{TCG|Supporter card}}s, {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Xerosic|110}} for [[Xerosic|the team's most well known admin]] and {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Lysandre's Trump Card|99}} representing Lysandre equipped with the Lysandre Machine for his final battle. "Trump Card" proved to be extremely powerful, and the card was eventually banned from {{TCG|Standard format|Standard}} and {{TCG|Expanded format|Expanded}}. Joining the supporters were three '''Team Flare Gear''' cards, {{TCG|Item card}}s themed to Team Flare, and two {{TCG|Team Flare Hyper Gear}} cards, {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s which are attached to the opponent's {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} to hinder them. The Team Flare Hyper Gear cards feature an especially eye-catching visual treatment, incorporating the team's red color into the frame elements and a large "FLARE" watermark over the textbox. After this set, Team Flare themed cards petered out completely, with older villainous teams like Aqua, Magma, and Rocket getting other cards later on during the {{TCG|XY Series}}.

[[File:BossOrdersShiningFates58.jpg|200px|thumb|right|{{TCG|Boss's Orders}} has versions which depict Lysandre.]]
The Sun & Moon briefly returned to Team Flare. Two campaigns tied to villainous teams led to Pikachu being released for each team as {{TCG|SM-P Promotional cards}}. Team Flare is one such team, so the {{TCG ID|SM-P Promo|Pretend Grunt Pikachu|14}} for 2016 included a Pikachu as a Team Flare Grunt among the other Pikachu as Grunts, and {{TCG ID|SM-P Promo|Pretend Boss Pikachu|196}} was released in 2018 as part of the Team Rainbow Rocket's Ambition campaign. The latter is, understandably for a pretend boss of Team Flare, a Pikachu dressed to resemble Lysandre.

2018's {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} had a [[Kalos]] theme, so there is some Team Flare representation in that set. {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Lysandre ♢|110}}, {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Lysandre Labs|111}}, and {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Pyroar|19}} are the three cards from this set, of which there is some synergy between the trio. The Pyroar represents Lysandre's own, and gets a boost to its attack's damage from the presence of Lysandre Labs. Lysandre {{Prism Star}} is more effective when there are more Fire types in play, such as the Pyroar.

Cards themed to match Team Flare are present in later {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} sets, though they are for specific characters rather than the group as a whole, and as such there is not a loose "Team Flare matters" group of cards. {{TCG|Rebel Clash}} introduces {{TCG|Boss's Orders}}, a card which causes an opponent's Benched Pokémon to become their Active Pokémon, which is the same effect as the Lysandre card. Instead of being named after a specific character, Boss's Orders is named generically so it can represent any villainous team leader.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/favorite-pokemon-tcg-cards-of-the-galar-era-from-tord-reklev-jason-klaczynski-michael-pramawat-ross-cawthon-and-mike-martin Favorite Pokémon TCG Cards of the Galar Era from Tord Reklev, Jason Klaczynski, Michael Pramawat, Ross Cawthon, and Mike Martin], [[Mike Martin]] for [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> A field in the upper right corner indicates the character of the card. While the Rebel Clash version of the card is [[Giovanni]] themed, {{TCG|Shining Fates}} introduces a [[Lysandre]] variant. {{TCG|Silver Tempest}}'s Trainer Gallery has a printing of {{TCG ID|Chilling Reign|Malamar|70}} with [[Xerosic]].

==Trivia==
* Many of Team Flare's targets share notable similarities with [[Team Rocket]]'s targets: a cave where a regional [[Fossil]] can be obtained ([[Glittering Cave]] and [[Mt. Moon]]), a [[Poké Ball]]-producing facility where the [[Master Ball]] can be obtained ([[Poké Ball Factory]] and [[Silph Co.]]), a Pokémon [[Template:Burial ground|burial ground]] ({{rt|10|Kalos}} and [[Pokémon Tower]]), the regional [[Power Plant]] ([[Kalos Power Plant]] and [[Kanto Power Plant]]), and a location where experiments involving agitating a certain Pokémon are conducted ({{p|Abomasnow}} in [[Frost Cavern]] and [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]).
* The names of Team Flare's scientists are possibly a reference to {{wp|solar flare}}s, which are classified as [[Aliana|A]], [[Bryony|B]], [[Celosia|C]], [[Mable|M]], or [[Xerosic|X]] according to their peak flux range. Those are the scientists' initials in each localization of {{g|X and Y}}. Incidentally, the games were released during {{wp|solar maximum}}, a period of high solar activity with frequent solar flares.
*According to a girl in Lysandre Café, it costs {{PDollar}}5,000,000 to join Team Flare.
* Team Flare is the only pre-[[Generation VIII]] villainous team to not receive a [[Nintendo 3DS themes|3DS theme]] based on them.
** The artist of these themes, [[Hitoshi Ariga]], revealed that there were plans to create a 3DS theme for Team Flare, but they fell through as a result of the series moving from the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] to the [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230410112857/https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1641046957325193217</ref>

'''Clemont''' (Japanese: '''シトロン''' ''Citron'') is an [[Clemontic Gear|inventor]] who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Lumiose City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Lumiose Gym]]. He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{badge|Voltage}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Clemont Gym XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Clemont challenging the player]]
Clemont is the fifth Gym Leader to be faced by the player. At some early point in the game, he gives a device that solves electronic puzzles to [[Shauna]]. He first appears outside the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] with his little sister, [[Bonnie]], lighting it up. He will give {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}} after being defeated. According to the [[television]] show ''Gym Freaks'', he is currently developing a machine that enables him to run faster, which is apparently his worst talent. It also states that he has secretly started to save money to go to the [[Nimbasa City|amusement park]] in the [[Unova]] region. He is described as a genius, having been credited with the invention of [[Super Training]]. Despite this, many of his inventions apparently fail to work.

Clemont and Bonnie do not appear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, though they are mentioned by some NPCs in Lumiose City. With Prism Tower closed for [[Quasartico Inc.]]'s reconstruction project, the Lumiose Gym has presumably either been temporarily shut down or moved.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Grant Clemont Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Clemont in Pokémon Adventures]]
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Clemont debuted in ''[[PS563|Charging After Electrike]]''. He was first seen in [[Cyllage City]] alongside [[Grant]], who was helping him find {{type|Electric}} Pokémon to power the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] during a blackout. After witnessing {{kal|Grace}}, a famous {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer, being found and taken away by several {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s, the two were left wondering what happened. In ''[[PS565|Fast-Thinking Froakie]]'', Clemont found Grace's daughter, {{adv|Y}}, and her friends chasing an [[Élec|Electrike]] on {{rt|5|Kalos}}. After {{p|Electrike}} was defeated, it evolved into a {{p|Manectric}} and revealed it wanted Y to retrieve a [[Manectite]] stuck in a tree. Overhearing the commotion, Clemont introduced himself and offered to help get the [[Mega Stone]] in Y's place. Before Clemont could grab the stone, a Team Flare Grunt stole it and fled, causing a tree to fall on top of Clemont. {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Trevor}} went after the Grunt while Y helped free Clemont, who revealed what he saw happened to Grace in Cyllage.

In ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', Clemont and the others were saved by [[Cassius]], who defeated the Grunt's four {{p|Espurr}}. With the Espurr held captive, a curious Clemont took checked to see what was under their ears, causing him to be sent flying by the Espurr's unrestrained psychic power. The Grunt that stole the Manectite later found Clemont's unconscious body and captured him. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Clemont awakened in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], where he was greeted by [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's scientists. Xerosic freed Clemont from his bindings and ordered him to build a machine for Team Flare. Clemont initially refused, but was forced to comply after seeing Xerosic use his {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}} as a hostage.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', the device was finished and given to [[Lysandre]]. With Clemont having served his purpose, Xerosic order some Grunts to throw the boy down an incinerator chute. Using his {{p|Aipom}} Arm's camera function, Clemont discovered the Secret HQ was located in [[Geosenge Town]]. Around the same time in [[Laverre City]], X received a pair of glasses belonging to Clemont from a wild {{p|Klefki}}. Using the glasses, he also discovered where the Secret HQ was hidden and set out to confront Team Flare.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', Trevor, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} made it inside the Secret HQ, where they reunited with Clemont and freed [[AZ]], a giant man that was held prisoner. Clemont helped launch Trevor and the others to where the [[ultimate weapon]]'s key was held, but they were unable to pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. AZ stayed behind to allow [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to take Clemont and the others back to the surface. Once Xerneas joined Y, they attempted to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerxer confirmed this and retreated, taking everyone with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', [[Ramos]] revealed that Team Flare blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on the Gym Leaders and the [[Vaniville Town|Vaniville]] children. X and his friends were advised to keep out of the public's eye while the Gym Leaders helped rebuild the damaged areas. In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', Clemont, [[Bonnie]], [[Alexa]], [[Viola]], and [[Yvette]] confronted Team Flare at {{rt|10|Kalos}}. Together, the group managed to successfully free the Pokémon Team Flare had captured. After Team Flare was fully defeated, Clemont and his allies met with X and his friends at [[Lumiose City]] to congratulate them on their victory. He and Bonnie returned Furry, {{adv|Shauna}}'s missing {{p|Furfrou}}, to its Trainer. Clemont also gave Trevor [[Malva's Delphox]], who they faced on Route 10, due to Furry recognizing it as an ally.

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
Clemont was mentioned by [[Professor Kukui]] in ''[[PASM03|Pokémon Move Specialist Professor Kukui]]'' as the one that invented the [[Rotom Pokédex]].

'''Naveen''' (Japanese: '''ピュール''' ''Pur'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is a member of [[Team MZ]], which he joined in return for studio space. He is an aspiring fashion designer, slowly earning a reputation in [[Lumiose City]] as a designer shrouded in mystery. He is not fond of battling. Outside of battles, he has a passion for watching [[Canari]]'s streams and is proved to be a devoted supporter of her, as he helps the player win the Canari's Quiz Whiz Contest which most cannot achieve.

His partner Pokémon is {{p|Scraggy}}. He wears a [[Mega Ring]] on his left arm.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Naveen lives with his grandmother, who disapproves of his interest in sewing and wants him to focus on his studies. One day she threw out his sewing supplies, prompting an upset Naveen to wander [[Lumiose City]] until he eventually met [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] and joined [[Team MZ]]. Unlike the other members of Team MZ he does not live at [[Hotel Z]], instead continuing to live with his grandmother.

'''Lida''' (Japanese: '''デウロ''' ''Duro'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a member of [[Team MZ]], which she joined in exchange for lodging. She is a dance school student who came to [[Lumiose City]] seeking to become a professional dancer.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Staryu}}. She wears a [[Mega Ring]] on her left arm.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Lida was inspired by her brother to become a professional dancer. She got a scholarship to a dance school in [[Lumiose City]], and initially lived in the city with a roommate. Her roommate signed on with a talent agency and moved out, leaving Lida worrying about how to pay her rent alone.

==Trivia==
* It is heavily implied that Lida's older brother is in fact [[Tierno]], as the two characters share many similar traits. They both serve as the player's close friends in the [[Kalos]] region and show a strong interest in dance. Their hairstyles are also similar, featuring dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands. Additionally, their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender". Lida using {{p|Vanillite}} could also be a reference to Tierno's Vanillite shirt.

'''Naveen''' (Japanese: '''ピュール''' ''Pur'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is a member of [[Team MZ]], which he joined in return for studio space. He is an aspiring fashion designer, slowly earning a reputation in [[Lumiose City]] as a designer shrouded in mystery. He is not fond of battling. Outside of battles, he has a passion for watching [[Canari]]'s streams and is proved to be a devoted supporter of her, as he helps the player win the Canari's Quiz Whiz Contest which most cannot achieve.

His partner Pokémon is {{p|Scraggy}}. He wears a [[Mega Ring]] on his left arm.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Naveen lives with his grandmother, who disapproves of his interest in sewing. One day she threw out his sewing supplies, prompting an upset Naveen to wander [[Lumiose City]] until he eventually met [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] and joined [[Team MZ]]. Unlike the other members of Team MZ he does not live at [[Hotel Z]], instead continuing to live with his grandmother.

'''Naveen''' (Japanese: '''ピュール''' ''Pur'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. He is a member of [[Team MZ]], which he joined in return for studio space. He is an aspiring fashion designer, slowly earning a reputation in [[Lumiose City]] as a designer shrouded in mystery. He is not fond of battling. Outside of battles, he has a passion for watching [[Canari]]'s streams and is proved to be a devoted supporter of her, as he helps the player win the Canari's Quiz Whiz Contest which most cannot achieve.

His partner Pokémon is {{p|Scraggy}}. He wears a [[Mega Ring]] on his left arm.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Naveen lives with his grandmother, who disapproves of his interest in sewing. One day she threw out his sewing supplies, prompting an upset Naveen to wander [[Lumiose City]] until he eventually met [[Urbain]] and joined [[Team MZ]]. Unlike the other members of Team MZ he does not live at [[Hotel Z]], instead continuing to live with his grandmother.

'''Tierno''' (Japanese: '''ティエルノ''' ''Tierno'') is a [[friend]] and [[rival]] of the {{player}} in {{g|X and Y}}.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Friends XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Tierno with the player's other friends in Aquacorde Town]]
Tierno appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a friend of the player, to whom he gives the [[first partner Pokémon]] sent through him by [[Professor Sycamore]]. He is a dancer and his goal is to create a dance team with Pokémon and wants to find Pokémon with amazing moves. As such, the Pokémon in his party know "[[dance moves]]", such as {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Petal Dance}}.

Tierno is first met in [[Aquacorde Town]], where he delivers the player and two of their friends a [[first partner Pokémon]] on behalf of Professor Sycamore. He is then met at the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Santalune City]], where he gives the player a minor tutorial on what is in the Pokémon Center.

Tierno is first battled on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, and then again on {{rt|7|Kalos}}, albeit this time with [[Trevor]]. Tierno is next met in [[Reflection Cave]], where he gives the player a TM containing {{m|Flash}}.

After the completion of the story line, Tierno can be found in [[Coumarine City]], asking to see a Pokémon knowing a randomly selected dance move each day, giving the player a [[Heart Scale]] if his request is fulfilled.

Tierno also appears as one of the player's partners in the [[Battle Maison]] when choosing Multi Battle.

Tierno does not appear in person in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, but an NPC mentions that he has traveled to [[Unova]] and is making waves as a dancer. It is also implied that [[Lida]] is his younger sister.

'''Lida''' (Japanese: '''デウロ''' ''Duro'') is a character introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. She is a member of [[Team MZ]], which she joined in exchange for lodging. She is a dance school student who came to [[Lumiose City]] seeking to become a professional dancer.

Her partner Pokémon is {{p|Staryu}}. She wears a [[Mega Ring]] on her left arm.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Lida was inspired by her brother to become a professional dancer. She got a scholarship to a dance school in [[Lumiose City]], and initially lived in the city with a roommate. Her roommate signed on with a talent agency and moved out, leaving Lida worrying about how to pay her rent alone. It was then that Lida met [[Urbain]], who invited her to join [[Team MZ]], and [[AZ]] allowed her to stay at [[Hotel Z]].

===Pokémon===
Lida keeps her Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

==Trivia==
* It is heavily implied that Lida's older brother is in fact [[Tierno]], as the two characters share many similar traits. They both serve as the player's close friends in the [[Kalos]] region and show a strong interest in dance. Their hairstyles are also similar, featuring dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands. Additionally, their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender". Lida using {{p|Vanillite}} could also be a reference to Tierno's Vanillite shirt.

'''Professor Laventon''' (Japanese: '''ラベン博士''' ''Dr. Laven'') is a travelling [[Pokémon Professor]] who studies in the [[Hisui]] region. He is a member of the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps and specializes in {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s modes of life.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
Professor Laventon finds the {{player}} on [[Jubilife Village|Prelude Beach]] after they have fallen through the [[space-time rift]]. The appearance of the player has attracted the interest of the Professor's three [[first partner Pokémon]]. After the player awakens, the Pokémon run away and the Professor tasks the player with recapturing them. Impressed by their skill he takes the player to [[Jubilife Village]] to recruit them into the [[Galaxy Team]]'s Survey Corps.

For most of the game, Professor Laventon can be found at all [[base camp]]s or his laboratory in [[Galaxy Hall]]. The player can report their latest survey results by speaking to Laventon, which entails any Pokémon caught and {{OBP|research task|Legends: Arceus}}s completed since the last report. He will then reward the player with [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] and [[Rank (Galaxy Team)|research points]] based on these results.

The [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in Pokémon Legends: Arceus are written by Laventon. Incidentally, he coined the term "[[scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]]" for {{p|Oshawott}}'s signature seashell and the term "[[aura]]" for {{p|Lucario}}'s signature energy wave control power. Laventon also observed that {{p|Unown}} resemble human writing from other lands, though no one takes him seriously.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
Professor Laventon makes a cameo in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. During Ms. [[Raifort]]'s history classes, a photo of Laventon appears on the classroom board as part of a timeline on the [[History of Poké Balls|history and development of the Poké Ball]].

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
Professor Laventon makes a cameo in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, where he is portrayed in an old painting in an office building in [[Lumiose City]].

===Pokémon===
====Gives to the player====
Professor Laventon gives the player their choice of [[first partner Pokémon]] from Pokémon he collected while traveling the {{pkmn|world}}. After the player has beaten the main story of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, he will give the player the remaining two first partner Pokémon once spoken to at his lab.

==Quotes==
{{main|Professor Laventon/Quotes}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:ProfessorLaventonSilverTempest162.jpg|200px|thumb|Professor Laventon in the TCG]]
{{main|Professor Laventon (Silver Tempest 162)}}
'''Professor Laventon''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|S-P Promotional cards}} and the English {{TCG|Silver Tempest}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It allows the player to put up to three Pokémon that have "Hisuian" in their names from their discard pile into their hand.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* As the Galaxy Expedition Team consists of foreigners to Hisui, Laventon is the only known [[Pokémon Professor]] in the [[core series]] not to be from the region he resides in.
** There are several hints in the game that Professor Laventon may be from the [[Galar]] region:
*** In the [[Pokédex entry]] for {{p|Raichu}}, he mentions {{p|Copperajah}} that live in his homeland, with Galar being the only region where they can be encountered that had been revealed as of the release of the game.
*** The writing on the blackboard in his office uses the alphabet from {{g|Sword and Shield}} instead of the style of writing used elsewhere in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
*** He often uses stock British phrases such as "jolly good". In other versions of the game, such as the Japanese and German versions, he will sometimes speak in English instead.
* Professor Laventon's drawings that he made for his Pokédex are on display at the [[Lumiose Museum]] in {{g|Legends Z-A}}. The description for the display states that his original Pokédex was thought lost until it was found in a shed in the [[Sinnoh]] region.
** In the same game, an old portrait of Laventon is hanging in the [[Old Building]].

==Trivia==
* It is heavily implied that Lida's older brother is in fact [[Tierno]], as the two characters share many similar traits. They both serve as the player's close friends in the [[Kalos]] region and show a strong interest in dance. Their hairstyles are also similar, featuring dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands. Additionally, their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender". Lida using {{p|Vanillite}} could also be a reference to Tierno's Vanillite shirt.

'''Leon''' (Japanese: '''ダンデ''' ''Dande'') is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar]] region's [[Galar League|Pokémon League]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

==In the core series games==
===History===
====Background====
Leon originally started out as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} at the age of 10 with his partner {{p|Charizard}} when he entered the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] after he was endorsed by [[Rose]], who saw talent in him.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/story/pokemon-league/</ref> He proceeded to win his first-ever Gym Challenge and become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Galar League, without losing a single battle. Since then, he and his partner have remained undefeated in every league and exhibition they participated in. He has been referred to as "the unbeatable Champion" and "the greatest Trainer in all of Galar."<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/champion-leon/</ref> He is considered a hero to many Trainers in [[Galar]]. However, he is also known for his poor sense of directions. His catchphrase is "Let's have a champion time!". According to [[Mustard]], Leon was once his best student at the [[Master Dojo]], but he was never able to finish his training there, as he never made it to the [[Towers of Two Fists]] due to his horrible sense of direction.

===={{g|Sword and Shield}}====
Leon first appears in the games' introduction movie, where he is introduced as [[Galar]]'s undefeated {{pkmn|Champion}} by [[Rose]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. He exchanges greetings with his opponent [[Raihan]], who is challenging him with {{p|Duraludon}}, before [[Gigantamax]]ing his {{p|Charizard}}. Their subsequent battle is not shown on-screen, but Leon defeats Raihan to retain his title.

Later, Leon travels via train to [[Wedgehurst]], where he entertains a crowd outside Wedgehurst Station with Charizard until [[Hop]] and the {{player}} meet him. Together, the trio return to Hop and Leon's home in [[Postwick]]. Once there, Leon reveals the gifts he brought for Hop and the player — the [[first partner Pokémon]] {{p|Grookey}}, {{p|Scorbunny}} and {{p|Sobble}}. He allows the player and Hop to choose which of the three Pokémon they want, then adds the remaining Pokémon to his own [[party]]. Leon then watches the battle between the player and Hop before joining in a barbecue dinner he and Hop's mother hosts at their home. Hop also asks Leon to endorse him and the player for the Gym Challenge, but he is initially hesitant to do so because of their inexperience. Later, when Hop and the player run into the [[Slumbering Weald]] to save a {{p|Wooloo}}, Leon eventually runs in and finds them unconscious, and manages to save the Wooloo.

Leon meets Hop and the player again at Professor Magnolia's Laboratory, and after Magnolia encourages him to endorse Hop and the player, he asks them to engage in a battle. After the player defeats Hop in a formal battle, Leon decides to write letters of [[endorsement]], ensuring they are eligible to participate in the Gym Challenge.

Leon appears throughout the player's {{pkmn|journey}}. During the Champion Cup, Leon invites the player and Hop to a dinner after the semifinals, but he ends up late due to having a heated, passionate conversation with Rose about the future of Galar atop Rose Tower. Leon argues that he must fulfill his duty as a Champion primarily before dealing with the distant future. Hop and the player manage to find him after dealing with several Macro Cosmos employees and [[Oleana]]. Later, when the player wins the finals, before they can have a final match with Leon, Rose interrupts the League to announce that he has summoned {{p|Eternatus}} and intends to solve the future energy crisis by bringing about the [[Darkest Day]]. Leon rushes to Hammerlocke Stadium to deal with the situation, and manages to hold off Eternatus until Hop and the player arrive. He is unable to catch Eternatus and is left to take the resulting energy blast from Eternatus breaking out of Leon's Poké Ball. He spends the next few days recovering from his injuries after the player, Hop, {{p|Zacian}}, and {{p|Zamazenta}} successfully stop Eternatus. The player and Leon finally have their grand showdown, which invites an incredibly large amount of fans across Galar. The player prevails over Leon, and becomes the new Champion.

After the events of the main story, Leon succeeds Rose as chairman of the Galar League and owner of [[Rose Tower]], which he has transformed into the {{gal|Battle Tower}}. His reason for this was to fulfill a lifelong dream he had while he was still Champion, where Galarian Trainers can become the strongest in the world. Another reason behind his ownership of the Battle Tower was so that he can never get lost inside it. Some say Leon has become more lively than when he was Champion and is currently having a hard time looking for a new catchphrase to use.

After the player has completed the events of [[The Isle of Armor]] and [[The Crown Tundra]], Leon calls the player and invites them, along with Hop, [[Avery]] or [[Klara]], [[Peony]], and all of the Gym Leaders to participate in the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], an event he created for the Galar League that is focused on [[Multi Battle]]s. After the first Galarian Star Tournament, Leon announces that there will be many more Star Tournaments held in the future. It is later revealed that he received the funding for the tournament from [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] as their way of atoning for the crimes they committed in the postgame.

In the English versions of the games, Hop refers to Leon by the nickname Lee. In all other languages, he is merely referred to as "older brother" or "brother" (Japanese: '''アニキ''' ''big bro'').

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Leon's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Leon is known far and wide for taking part in the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] at the tender age of 10 years old—and even more so for claiming victory in the Champion Cup on his first attempt. Ever since that victory, he and his partner {{p|Charizard}} have remained unbeaten in both League and exhibition matches. He is called "the unbeatable Champion" and is a hero to many Trainers. He has but one weakness: a dismal sense of direction. But don't worry—wherever he ends up, he makes sure everyone has a champion time!"
;Rare League Card
:"Leon's dream, even when he was still the Champion, was to make [[Galar]]ian Trainers the strongest Trainers in the world. In order to fulfill that dream, he has rebuilt [[Rose Tower]] into the {{gal|Battle Tower}}, a facility dedicated to [[Pokémon battle]]s. People say that he seems even more lively now than he was as Champion. Leon has also commented that another reason he likes the tower so much is that it's impossible to get lost inside. Leon's biggest problem now is coming up with a new signature catchphrase to replace "Let's have a champion time!""

===Pokémon===
Leon's team will always contain the final evolutionary form of the [[first partner Pokémon]] with a type advantage to the player's chosen first partner Pokémon. This is likely the first partner Pokémon that remained with him after the player and [[Hop]] chose their own first partner Pokémon at the beginning of the game.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
Leon and his {{p|Charizard}} appear in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It took place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. His Charizard starts the battle as {{p|Charmander}} and can evolve to {{p|Charmeleon}} and then Charizard during the battle. The other members of his team are [[Cynthia]], [[Korrina]], [[Raihan]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.

Leon and his Charizard also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. It also takes place on Theia Sky Ruins. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of himself, Cynthia, Raihan, Korrina, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Leon only appears on the Expert and Extreme difficulties, being replaced by an Ace Trainer on lower difficulties. In a Leon themed event, Leon's team includes Korrina, Raihan, Cynthia, and Green. On the Casual difficulty, all four of the other trainers are replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Cynthia and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In this mode, Leon and his Charizard never use [[Holowear]].

Unlike other Trainers in this game, Leon and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Leon has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting him and his Charizard with two dimensional artwork. (The normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used.) This means his [[list of items in Pokémon UNITE#Battle Items|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, he uses [[X Attack]].

Leon appears as a Background element for a Trainer's Unite Snapshot. It is the same background Leon's own Snapshot uses, but it excludes Charizard. Leon's outfit can be worn as a Trainer Outfit by players. (It does not consist of separate items and cannot be worn with any additional items.) This outfit is rendered as a model, unlike Leon. Leon's signature pose is usable as a Trainer's Pose in Unite Snapshot, with the item named after the character.

{{main|Leon (anime)}}
Leon is a recurring character in {{aniseries|JN}}. He debuted in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', where he earned himself the title of Monarch, the strongest [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the {{pkmn|world}}, by winning the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]]. This inspired {{Ash}} to participate in the World Coronation Series as well in the hopes of getting to battle Leon, making him Ash's main [[rival]] for the [[series]].

===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
[[File:Leon Twilight Wings.png|250px|thumb|left|Leon in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]
Leon appeared in ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', where he and {{TP|Leon|Charizard}} battled [[Bea]] and her {{p|Machamp}} in a televised battle inside [[Wyndon Stadium]]. The {{pkmn|Champion}} and his partner eventually emerged victorious. He later appeared with his Charizard in a brief flashback [[Rose]] had while meeting {{gal|John}}, a fan of Leon's.

In a fantasy in ''[[TW02|Training]]'', Bea thought she saw Leon in the [[Wild Area]], only to realize it was actually a {{p|Rhydon}}.

In ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', [[Hop]] watched Leon's match with Bea on television. He reappeared in the same role in ''[[TW04|Early-Evening Waves]]''.

In ''[[TW06|Moonlight]]'', he received John's letter from Chairman Rose while at [[Rose Tower]].

In ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', Leon was walking to the stadium for his match against [[Raihan]] when he got lost along the way on a mountain. Then, he encountered John, who was en route to the stadium in a [[Flying Taxi]] when he spotted him. Realizing they wouldn't reach the stadium on foot in time, Leon flew with John on top of the {{p|Corviknight}} and arrived at the stadium in time for his match. Leon then invited John to watch the match from the field as the match started.

In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', he was seen flying towards the [[Isle of Armor]] in a Flying Taxi. He battled his master [[Mustard]] before giving him an invitation letter to the [[Galarian Star Tournament]]. He visited and invited various [[Gym Leader]]s for the tournament. Later on, he declared the tournament's commencement at [[Wyndon Stadium]].

====Character====
Leon's presence throughout the miniseries has been shrouded in mystery, with several characters being influenced by the desire to battle him. Leon is also shown to be close to [[Hop]], who looks up to Leon and watches his matches on TV, and [[Sonia]], who is seen talking on the phone with him and attending Leon's exhibition match against [[Raihan]]. Leon's desire to help new Trainers do their best is also seen when he says that the next time he meets John, it will be in a Pokémon battle.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
[[File:Leon Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Leon in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
Leon appeared in ''[[PE01|The Champion]]''. While preparing for his [[Galar League|Championship Match]] against {{ga|Victor}}, he recalled how he had battled against {{p|Eternatus}} during the [[Darkest Day]], but had failed to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, leaving it to Victor and [[Hop]] to finish the job with {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}'s help. This failure had caused Leon to start doubting himself, but his {{p|Charizard}} was able to restore his self confidence. Leon then stepped out into the [[Wyndon Stadium]] battlefield, ready to face Victor.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Leon Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Leon in Pokémon Adventures]]
Leon debuted in ''[[PASS02|Crackle!! Practice Battle]]''. He was first seen in the outskirts of [[Wedgehurst]], trying to move a flock of {{p|Wooloo}} off of some train tracks. He was helped by {{Henry}} and {{Casey}}, who drove off the {{p|Obstagoon}} that was terrorizing the Wooloo. After introducing himself to the children, Leon headed off to [[Motostoke]] to appear on a television program, only to get lost on the way there. It was revealed that Leon had decided to [[endorsement|endorse]] the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] thanks to this experience, just like they had hoped he would. The [[Gym Leader]]s of Galar were surprised by this decision, as Leon had never endorsed two Trainers at the same time before.

In ''[[PASS17|Stealth!! Infiltrate the Energy Plant]]'', after a large earthquake struck [[Hammerlocke]], Leon attempted to get inside the [[Energy Plant]] and see if [[Rose]] was safe. Several {{tc|Macro Cosmos's|Macro Cosmos employees}} blocked his attempt, stating that no one was allowed inside the building. [[Raihan]] arrived and told Leon to go evacuate people with [[Sonia]] while he went inside to check on Rose.

In ''[[PASS22|Grrr!! Noble Kidnappers]]'', Leon received a call from Sonia asking him to join her and Henry's group around [[Spikemuth]]. Along the way, he witnessed Sonia falling to the ground after the [[Flying Taxi]] she was riding in was shot out of the sky. After rescuing Sonia, Leon encountered Raihan and [[Piers]], who were alerted by the noise coming from [[Route 9 Tunnel]]. Leon and Raihan took Sonia and the {{tc|Cabbie}} to a hospital in Hammerlocke. Before leaving, Leon entrusted a camera Sonia was carrying to Piers and told him to deliver it to Casey.

In ''[[PASS24|Unbelievable!! The Shocking Truth]]'', after reconciling with each other at the hospital, Sonia informed Leon that Rose was working together with [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], the pair responsible for her near-crash landing. The Gym Leaders were informed of the situation and agreed to meet at [[Rose Tower]] in order to find out whether Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar. Before Leon, Sonia, Raihan, and [[Nessa]] could leave the city, Rose unleashed {{p|Eternatus}} and brought out the [[Darkest Day]], causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random. After dealing with some Pokémon, Leon and the others went to check on Rose in the Energy Plant, where they ran into Henry's group. Everyone went into the plant, where they found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.

In ''[[PASS27|Shock!! Chairman Rose's Plan]]'', Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite their claims of being descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, Sordward and Shielbert were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana explained that Rose's actions were for the benefit of Galar and requested that everyone help stop Eternatus. The group agreed and made their way to the summit, where they found Rose had already been defeated. Leon, Raihan, [[Piers]], [[Hop]], [[Marnie]], Nessa, and [[Melony]] managed to take Eternatus down, only for it to get back up and unleash its Eternamax form.

In ''[[PASS29|GRRR!! The Irrepairable Gears]]'', Eternatus quickly overwhelmed Leon and the others, only for {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} to appear and assist in the battle against the Gigantic Pokémon. They attempted to wield the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]], but the items and Henry were snatched out of the air by Eternatus. Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus at the same time, creating a massive blast of light. By the time the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had vanished. Leon and everyone injured during the battle were taken to a hospital to recover from the effects of Eternatus's poison.

In ''[[PASS35|Bom Bom!! Kubfu and Intense Training]]'', after taking special medicine, Leon and the others began to recover from the effects of the poison.

==Trivia==
* Leon's uniform number being just "1" could be a reference to 一番 ''Ichiban'', meaning ''Number One'', but can also mean ''Best''. This can be in reference to his role as champion, thus being the best trainer in all of Galar.
** Leon is also one of two characters to have a single digit uniform number, the other being [[Mustard]].
* Leon's {{pkmn|Champion}} logo is only displayed when the {{player}} enters the center of [[Wyndon Stadium]] before the actual {{pkmn|battle}} with Leon. When the player enters the area before the match that [[Rose]] soon interrupts, the regular Wyndon Stadium logo is displayed instead.
* Leon failed [[Opal]]'s audition, getting only one out of three answers correct. Opal's notes on Leon are: "Your talent in Pokémon battles is beyond anything I've ever seen, but you're rather hard to read..."
* During the [[2022 World Championships]], Leon's battle theme was the standardized battle theme for all qualified video game players. In addition, the victory theme that plays when the player defeats him was also used at the tournament.
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]'s [[The Indigo Disk]] DLC, the player can unlock Leon's signature {{p|Charizard}} Pose as an emote by showing a Pokémon with the [[Mark|Mightiest Mark]] to a [[Blueberry Academy]] {{tc|student}} at the academy's School Store. Moreover, Leon's [[Poké Ball]]-{{OBP|Battle style|game mechanic|throwing style}} can also be learned in the [[League Club Room]] in the same games.
* Leon is mentioned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} as the former Champion of Galar who just recently visited [[Lumiose City]]. A [[Lumi Cab]] driver tells the player that he somehow got lost while driving Leon through the city despite knowing where he was going, and [[Jacinthe]] says that he participated in one of her tournaments.

==Trivia==
* It is heavily implied that Lida's older brother is in fact [[Tierno]], as the two characters share many similar traits. They both serve as the player's close friends in the [[Kalos]] region and show a strong interest in dance. Their hairstyles are also similar, featuring dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands. Additionally, their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender". Lida using {{p|Vanillite}} could also be a reference to Tierno's Vanillite shirt.

==Trivia==
* It is heavily implied that Lida's older brother is in fact [[Tierno]], as the two characters share many similar traits. They both serve as the player's close friends in the [[Kalos]] region and show a strong interest in dance. Their hairstyles are also similar, featuring dark hair styled into three upward-pointing strands. Additionally, their names suggest a thematic contrast: Lida's name in various languages is derived from words meaning "hard" or "rough", while Tierno's name likely comes from a word meaning "tender". Lida using {{p|Vanillite}} could also be a reference to Tierno's Vanillite shirt.
