Sidian: Difference between revisions

This article is about the character in Pokémon Horizons. For the Pokémon, see Onix (disambiguation).

Sidian (Japanese: オニキス Onyx) is one of the admins of the Explorers, and a recurring major antagonist in Pokémon Horizons: The Series.

History

Sidian in the anime

Sidian first appeared as a hologram in The Ancient Poké Ball, silhouetted with two other Admins, Coral and Chalce.

Sidian reappeared as a hologram in Quaxly, We Can Do It!, this time not silhouetted, where he commented that Spinel's reason for his mission's failure was the result of tunnel vision.

He made his physical debut in HZ024, where he accompanied Hamber and Coral to an old castle in Hammerlocke in order to meet up with Amethio, Zirc and Onia, who were pursuing a mysterious Pokémon that formed from Liko's pendant.

In HZ025, Sidian arrived at Old castle‎ alongside Hamber and Coral. Sidian had his Garganacl indiscriminately take out the Pokémon living at Old castle‎ before battling Liko and Roy. Thankfully, Captain Pikachu arrived at Old castle‎ to rescue them, Pikachu attacked Glalie and then took Garganacl out of the fight, before escaping when Coral suddenly had her Glalie use Self-Destruct. After the Rising Volt Tacklers had escaped, Sidian scolded Coral for her reckless actions, which not only caused unnecessary destruction but also caused both of their Pokémon to be defeated.

Character

Sidian overall appears to have a serious and stoic personality, hardly showing strong emotions at times, although he can still get frustrated or irritated when insulted by others, such as his fellow admin Coral. He usually obeys the orders of his superiors such as Hamber without much issues. Sidian is along with Coral, known as "the troublemakers", being less disciplined and more aggressive than their fellow admins. Sidian has a ruthless and combative disposition when operating, as seen during the siege on Diana's castle where he not only disobeyed orders to standby, but also indiscriminately commanded his Garganacl to attack and take out every Pokémon in his path by having them inflicted with Salt Cure. Nonetheless Sidian has his own personal limits and considers even Coral's volatile actions to be reckless.

Pokémon

		Garganacl
		Garganacl is Sidian's only known Pokémon. In HZ025, Garganacl indiscriminately defeated most the Pokémon living at Old castle‎ before being used to battle Liko and Roy. Captain Pikachu arrived in time to rescue them and Garganacl tried to hit it with Salt Cure, but Pikachu was able to avoid it and hit Garganacl with Volt Tackle, temporarily taking it out of the fight. However, when Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct, much to Sidian's protest, Garganacl was unfortunately defeated by Glalie's attack which took itself out as well. Garganacl's known moves are Salt Cure and Wide Guard.
