In the games
Zirco manages Zirco Trading, a shop that specializes in the sale of Holowear. Unlike the other characters who work at the stores in Pokémon UNITE, he is apathetic to the player's approach. Instead, he stares at his computer and some holograms of Aeos gems. He wears a shirt with a a design reminiscent of Sableye's center gemstone and an Ultra Ball themed hoodie.
His partner Pokémon is Sableye. His Sableye is wearing Holowear styled after Zirco's own hoodie.

Zirco appeared in the second chapter, Zirco's Holowear, alongside Erbie. He created Holowear to add a fashion element to Unite Battles, inspired by Pokémon Contests, Pokémon Musicals, and the films produced by Pokéstar Studios. He called Erbie over to Zirco Trading to attempt to convince Eribie to approve of his addition. While Erbie disapproved, citing the possibility of affecting a Pokémon's performance, Zirco had a trick up his sleeve. He invited Erbie to touch his Sableye. Said Sableye was already wearing Holowear, and Erbie's hand phased right through. This served to demonstrate Holowear's holographic (and therefore, purely cosmetic) properties. Even though Erbie is unsure and defers to Professor Phorus, Zirco starts selling pre-orders for Holowear. When Erbie complained, Zirco taunted him by insisting that "everyone's having fun".
Zirco appeared in the third chapter, Welcome to the Stadium!. He called over a trainer and their father to Zirco Trading, and the two took a look at Zirco's wares. Ultimately, the trainer purchased Bedtime Style Holowear for their Wigglytuff. Zirco waved as the daughter and father duo left his store.

Sableye was first seen in the second chapter Zirco's Holwear, It is perpetually seen wearing Holowear of a Ultra Ball themed hoodie, matching Zirco's own. It cackles alongside Zirco, and helped demonstrate Holowear to Erbie. When it isn't interacting with customers or other visitors, it sits on top of a stepladder in Zirco Trading. In the third chapter, Welcome to the Stadium, it waved to invite a trainer and their father to Zirco Trading, then watched patiently as the trainer chose what to purchase.
None of Sableye's moves are known.
