>>34124572In terms of evilness, from good boys who did nothing wrong to literal Satan, the bosses probably go like
>GuzmaKnew that the things he was doing were bad, but didn't really feel bad about it until he saw how crazy Lusamine was. In any case, the "bad" things he did were so insignificant that he barely qualifies as a proper antagonist.
>MaxieSame as Guzma, but he had genuinely good intentions. He was just too dumb to realize the true damage his actions would cause. Gave up immediately after noticing he fucked up.
>ArchieSame as Maxie, too stupid to live. But while he had good intentions for the pokémon, he actively wanted to flood coastal cities. He didn't want to harm anyone, just make people go away and stop polluting the ocean, but that still makes him slightly more "evil" than Maxie, even if he had similarly good intentions.
>USUM LusamineDid many things wrong, but did it so because she wanted to be a hero. Even if the reasons for that were completely selfish.
>SM LusamineBasically the same as USUM, except with absolutely no good intentions and pure selfishness. But even then, her master plan was more self-destructive than harmful to other people (except for releasing UBs on Alola).
>Cyrus and LysandreAre batshit and think genocide is the only way to make a peaceful world. Only rank this high because they also genuinely thought they were doing a good thing, and even felt bad about having to kill everyone.
>GiovanniJust wants power and money. He's definitely evil and even acknowledges it himself, but still doesn't give a fuck because he liked being evil. Even so, he still has some honor left and steps down when defeated, going back to training to try again later. Also loves battle facilities.
>GhetsisSame as Giovanni, except absolutely unscrupulous. Has no honor and will do literally everything to get power, including playing dirty and manipulating people.
