The villainous team of the story. Dressed in gaudy and questionably-designed purple suits, Team Akuma is a crime syndicate who terrorizes Kalos in their wake.

* CombatPragmatist: They are not above fighting dirty to get their way, whether it's holding hostages, stealing or ambushing defenseless Trainers or Pokémon to achieve their goals.
* DissonantSerenity: During the [[AndIMustScream creation of the Bond Hybrid]], the Team Akuma grunts are described to be observing this disturbing process with morbid fascination [[TransformationHorror while the victims and their Pokémon are screaming in pain]].
