Description	The leader of the evil Team Galactic. Believing the human spirit to be incomplete, he's trying to create a new world. Calm and logical, he's highly trusted by his subordinates.

Cyrus (Japanese: アカギ Akagi) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series. He forms a sync pair with Palkia. The sync pair can be obtained by completing a Legendary Adventure, New World Dilemma, and was first made available on August 17, 2020. The pair's potential can be upgraded to 6★ EX from January 13, 2022. However, unlike other sync pairs, this pair cannot be upgraded with Champion Spirits - only Custom Legendary Spirits from the Villain Event Dreams of the Void can be used.

Cyrus is also available in his Sygna Suit, forming a sync pair with Darkrai. This sync pair is available through a limited sync pair scout and was first made available on February 10, 2022. The pair's potential can be upgraded to 6★ EX, which unlocks Cyrus's EX Style.

Palkia

Raising this sync pair to 6★ EX will unlock Song Key 04006, which allows "Battle! (Cyrus) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)" to be played in the Jukebox.

Trivia

• Cyrus is one of the few sync pairs with less than seven dialogues in the Pokémon Center, with only three.
• Sygna Suit Cyrus & Darkrai are the first Sygna Suit sync pair with a Mythical Pokémon.
• Since version 2.19.0, all versions of Cyrus use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). As of that version, those Trainers include Cynthia and Giovanni.

Origin

Cyrus's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. Palkia is a Pokémon that Cyrus briefly controls during the climax of Pokémon Pearl and Platinum. An alternate version of Cyrus also uses a Palkia in Pokémon Ultra Moon. Palkia's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Pearl.

Cyrus is not seen owning a Darkrai in the core series, but it parallels Dawn's Sygna Suit partner, Cresselia, which Darkrai has a shared history with. Darkrai's Dex entry comes from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
