>Cyrus
The only villain involved with real terrorist attacks, brainwashing and cult-like organization, by far the most dangerous by threatign to destroy and rebuild the universe
>Lysandre
Altruistic fuck who ends up hating humanity for its greed and unlimited desire, creates a elite formed of rich trainers to destroy the whole region with a weapon of yore, more fleshed out in the anime tho, the games made him look like my mum's libertarian neckbeard
>Archie and Maxie
Meh, they have charm and are more like likeable idiots than actual threats, yet their actions are the only ones that actually affected people and pokemon, their motivations come from a naive behaviour rather than pure evil
>Ghetsis
It's kinda hard to describe, he is not a threat alone, but he has the ability to manipulate everyone around him, he is more like that villain who hides in the shadows and waits for his grunts to do the hard work, in BW2 he is more of a threat by actually doing something (freezing a whole city and a route), yet he is more like a force of nature villain than anything else
>Giovanni
Mafia boss..... that's all
>Lusamine
If USM didn't exist she would be a well written villain... but USM does exist.
