** Their differences come to a head when [[spoiler:they return in ''Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon''. Cyrus is simply content in leaving the world he was dragged into be, as he had already accomplished his goals in his own world, whereas Lysandre still wanted to extend his vision to the parallel worlds. When defeated, Cyrus actually ponders whether or not his views were wrong before [[GracefulLoser calmly accepting his defeat]]. Lysandre, on the other hand, outright dismisses any second thoughts and remains DefiantToTheEnd. Lastly, both of them are confronted on the second floor, after the player defeats both Archie and Maxie.]]

** Lysandre's goal is to save the world before it would succumb to humanity's destructive tendencies. Cyrus, on the other hand, believes that the world [[ItIsBeyondSaving is already beyond saving]], and thus believes that the FinalSolution is its destruction.

** Cyrus has hated people since very young, while Lysandre is a former philanthropist who tried to help as many people as possible but became a misanthrope when his actions only brought out the worst in people. In addition, Cyrus hates the world for being imperfect and wants to create a new, better world in his image. By contrast, Lysandre seeks to wipe out most of the world population because he loves the beautiful world he lives in, so he wants to preserve it and save it from humanity's foolishness.

Team Flare's boss and the main antagonist of ''X and Y''. He was a former student of Professor Sycamore, who went on to found Lysandre Labs and create the Holo-Caster. He seeks to create a beautiful world by destroying every Pokémon and human not part of Team Flare.

* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Studied under Professor Sycamore before he went off the deep end.

* BadassBookworm: He was Sycamore's student.

* BigBadFriend: Right from when you first meet him, you'll know that he's the leader of Team Flare and the cause of the main problems in the game; but he's the friend and disciple of Professor Sycamore, inventor of the Holo Caster, well regarded by many people throughout Kalos even after he reveals his true nature, and is generally pretty friendly toward the player.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: His journal reveals that he's always hated people, even when he was being charitable to them, considering them all parasites who are sucking the world's beauty away. But because of his good deeds, the people he's benefited view him as a good man.

* DefiantToTheEnd: Even as he stands defeated, his final gambit thwarted, his master plan averted, Lysandre refuses to believe he was ever wrong and wholeheartedly believes that by stopping him, the player has doomed the world. And then he tries to use the ultimate weapon anyway.

* EvilCounterpart: He's this to the player character, having also started his journey as Professor Sycamore's disciple and running errands for him throughout Kalos and eventually being able to invoke Mega Evolution.

* FallenHero: He's regarded to this day as one of the finest, most talented disciples Professor Sycamore ever had, and a great benefactor to people. In truth, he's a TragicVillain, and he also ended up becoming one of the [[KnightOfCerebus darkest villains]] to appear in the series.

* TragicVillain: He's regarded as one by some people you talk to in Snowbelle City and Professor Sycamore, who once mentored him.

* AndIMustScream: What he tries to invoke on the protagonist in ''X'' - after being defeated, he fires the ultimate weapon in one last attempt to force immortality on them (and himself) out of spite so they can be trapped in the CrapsackWorld Lysandre believes is now inevitable for all eternity. However, they manage to escape, after which the weapon explodes and causes the lair to collapse on him. The scene is ambiguous as to whether ''he'' gained that immortality in the blast and is now [[BuriedAlive trapped under the rubble forever]], or was simply killed in the collapse and explosion.

* LargeAndInCharge: His sprite is noticeably taller than any other characters save for [[spoiler:AZ, who is in a territory all on his own]].

* AdaptationalVillainy: He was already a villain in ''X and Y'', but ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'' [[spoiler:makes him provide you with a rigged SadisticChoice in the same way Xerosic does in ''X and Y'', whereas in ''X and Y'' Lysandre will regretfully ''apologize'' to you for Xerosic rigging the outcome if you choose the right button.]]
