Im honestly rather fond of Archie and Maxie because they have the Gang War and just being well-intentioned dumbfucks, a lot of people bitch about them but i actually think Magma/Aqua Misguided Eco-Terrorism were a good step from Rocket organized crime with selfish intent (Making money). But the crux is exactly that they aren't "Evil", just world endingly dumb.
On the question of Team Competence the answer is probably Lusamine simply because she actually had her organization basically completely under the radar and got away with shit like creating Type:Null and Ultra Balls and that sort of shit and had a "Second Evil Team" under her thumb, even if Team Skull were , you know, Team Skull. Especially since from what i can gather the Aether Foundation kept operating even after Lusamine was stopped while most other teams had to disband.
Lysandre on the other hand did not only control the news of the region, but also had his team infiltrate as high up as the E4, but honestly a lot seems to be Sycamore not wanting to see him as being bad.
Cyrus actually gets his "goal" in Platinum and had pretty notable loyalty from his cult/admins
Ghetis was the most active with being Evil/ a Asshole, but honestly that same attitude basically made it so he barely had control of his organization, when N left so did a good chunk of grunts, and Colress never gave a shit about the Team and he takes his defeats even harder then Giovannis midlife crisis.
Giovanni is probably canonically DA BEST due "Shill Power", people recognize him as the first and therefore he must be the best because he is the most recognizable to the masses which nets him storylines in spinoffs like Go and Masters and the whole Rainbow Rocket thing. But personally i think that stuff just makes him less cool compared to when he was basically just a mob boss doing Poaching and Trafficking.
Rose is a garbage villain, but the games would NOT SHUT UP about how much he done for Galar.
