Read more ↓Lysandre is not a Pokémon but a prominent human character from the Pokémon X and Y games, leader of Team Flare, and a key antagonist in the Kalos region. He is a wealthy and charismatic scientist who believes that the world is beautiful but humanity is ugly, leading him to devise a plan to reset the world using the ultimate weapon, thereby creating a "beautiful" new world for only a select few. His motivations are complex, stemming from a distorted sense of idealism and a desire for a perfect world, even if it means destroying the current one. Lysandre is portrayed as intelligent and manipulative, capable of swaying others to his extreme ideology. He is typically associated with Fire-type Pokémon, particularly Pyroar, which reflects his fiery ambition and destructive goals. In the games, he is a formidable opponent, challenging the player multiple times as his plans unfold. His role in the anime, particularly Pokémon the Series: XYZ, further explores his character depth and the devastating consequences of his actions, making him one of the more memorable human villains in the franchise. His ultimate fate often involves being consumed by the very power he sought to control, a common trope for Pokémon antagonists.
