A Mystery Man (Japanese: なぞのせいねん Mysterious Man) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in Pokémon Crystal, though it was originally translated as Mysticalman in the English version of Pokémon Crystal. Two important non-player characters have had this class, both of which are, as the name implies, mysterious men. In Crystal Version, Eusine had the title of "Mysticalman", but it was changed to the later translation of "Mystery Man" in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Ardos has this Trainer class in Pokémon XD during his battle with Zook, before his affiliation with Cipher is known. For his battles with the player, however, his true class of Cipher Admin is used.
Under this class, Ardos only reveals one member of his powerful team, his Alakazam. Eusine keeps a varied team, two thirds of which have some connection to mystical powers. He seeks out the legendary Pokémon, Suicune.

| Eusine first used his Alakazam when he was about to have a battle with Ash, but the battle was called out due to the Bug Pokémon covering the town with their strings. Later Eusine attempted to use Alakazam in order to protect Ash and his friends from the attacks of several wild Pokémon, but the attacks came through and stopped Alakazam. When Eusine tried to catch Suicune, he sent his Alakazam against the Aurora Pokémon. However, Alakazam was soon forced to return back into its Poké Ball by the effect of Suicune's Roar.
In The Legend of Thunder! Eusine used his Alakazam to battle against Attila and Hun's Steelix and Skarmory. Alakazam's known moves are Reflect, Disable, Confusion and Psybeam. | ||
