Seriously underrated villain. Look at this guy, he's like Voldemort and Darth Vader's bastard lovechild. Unlike all the other villain bosses in Pokémon, he is actually extraordinarily evil.

He's the only villain whose goal was simply "world domination," which is pretty cliched, but actually unique in the context of this series. So he's simultaneously the least creative yet most threatening villain in the series. I wouldn't want a repeat of him in future generations, but for what he was, he was quite well done.

I love how he literally has a mental breakdown from losing to a child TWICE in the span of 2 years.

I still do wonder what happened to the right side of his body. I know the fan theory is that he got attacked when his Hydreigon went on a rampage, but I want to know what actually happened.

Does Cyrus count as world domination if his aim was to create his own world?

He manipulated his adopted son
He manipulated a fucking army and when that failed, did it again.
He tried to kill a 10 year old (might hit close to home for a few of you underage b&s)
In the end
He still didn't give a flying fuck

Debatable, since he couldn't care less about the current world. Does being the only existing being in your new world qualify as domination?

However, you could count Evice and Greevil from Colosseum/Gale of Darkness, or Darkrai in PMD: Sky.

It's great how in BW he's manipulative, calculating, and has everything planned to the smallest detail. Then in BW2 after his plans fell through in the previous game he's been reduced to a shell of his old self that relies on brute force and rage and can't deceive anybody anymore. A character who saw him in BW might not even be able to recognize him.

I still think Cyrus was more threatening.

Cyrus wanted to erase everything so he can be by himself for fucks sake.

Second comes in Lysandre, who was going to genocide everyone except his followers because he was tired of how shitty people were.

Archie and Maxie were downright retarded though.

Giovanni a best.

That's why they're among the few (only?) villains to be redeemed. They aren't evil, just well meaning yet stupid.

Also best canon couple.

Unlike 90% of main game villains, he didn't say sorry.
This makes him the evilest villain.

Did most of the villains say sorry? I didn't get t play a lot of the games, but I thought Giovanni's sorry was fake, Cyrus got eaten by some dimension, and Lysandre followed his ideals to the end. With Ghetsis, that's a bunc of people who never said sorry.

Yeah i love ghetsis, but i think the only antagonist team that ever actually apologized and changed their ways were Aqua, Magma, and the half of Plasma who sympathized with N.

Literally only Archie and Maxie and the rest of Team Aqua and Magma, Colress, and N apologize. And they all have pretty good reasons, because they were more misguided than they were evil. Let's not forget that Maxie/Archie are "good guys" in the opposite games, Colress is shown as morally ambivalent throughout the entire game, and N is just disillusioned.

You could through Xerosic in there, too. Similar to Colress in several ways.

Ghetsis is one of a kind pokemon villain for sure.
I still think autismo Cyrus was more dangerous, in that he wanted to annihilate the universe because mommy didn't love him. And where ghetsis just disappears at the end of BW2, Cyrus has a way more interesting end, getting exiled to another godamnned dimension to waste away and go insane.

The thing is, when Cyrus got left behind in the Reverse World he got exactly what he always wanted, even if he didn't realize it.

Team Aqua and Team Magma were objectively the most evil Pokemon villains. Expanding the sea would increase the Tentacool population while expanding the ground would increase the Zubat population.

It's similar to Giovanni, in Gen 1 he lost to Red and just flat out disbanded the Pokemon equivalent to the mafia or Yakuza, we found out in HGSS that he outright abandoned his own son and went into hiding for 3 years inside Tohjo Falls all because he was beaten by an 11 year old, and before seeing him in B2W2 a ton of fans speculated that he killed himself for losing to Ethan/Lyra.

Some would say that's exactly what makes him a shit villain though.

I like him in BW2 though with how he literally tries to kill you because he's fed up with the bullshit of having some meddling teens constantly fucking up his plans for world domination, that's pretty metal for Pokemon.
