| 1 | ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'' is a ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' game idea created by [[http://sunflorazumarill.deviantart.com/ Sunflorazumarill]] that was started in late 2013 (when ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' was released) and completed in early/mid 2014. It's a successor to ''[[DarthWiki/PokemonFloraAndAzure Pokémon Flora, Azure, and Solar]]'' and a main series game. Like ''Pokémon Flora, Azure, and Solar'', it takes characters and locations from various anime, manga, and visual novels and gives them the roles of important NP characters such as Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, villainous team members, and more. Also like ''Pokémon Flora, Azure, and Solar'', it offers a number of new features and of course some new Pokémon as well. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | The game takes place in the region of Halkeginia, a place borrowed from ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'' and using a number of characters and elements from there combined with ones from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and other works. The games follow the typical formula of ''Pokémon'' games, with these involving a new Trainer from Jointiven Town starting on his or her journey through Halkeginia. Along the way, he or she will battle Gym Leaders, eventually the Elite Four and Champion, and also fight against Team Zodiac, the villainous team in ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'', while learning the mysteries of the Legendary Pokémon of infinity and zero. |

| 7 | In November/December 2014, ideas pertaining to ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'''s sequels, ''Pokémon Vari-Infi and Vari-Zero'', began. These two games follow the pattern of ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'', being actual sequels with a new story, new Gym Leaders and Elite Four members, and being able to go visit Nostrum, where ''[[DarthWiki/PokemonFloraAndAzure Pokémon Flora, Azure, and Solar]]'' took place. |

| 16 | |
| 17 | * AmusementPark: Vocadia Park is such a place that's located on the east side of Vocadia City. |
| 18 | * AncientTomb: There are two such ones in Halkeginia, with Maze Pyramid in Nephys Desert being the resting place of Founder Brimir, and the Forever Tomb making up the very top of Mt. Germania where Variruin was imprisoned. |
| 19 | * BeneathTheEarth: Undetopia is a vast underground world consisting of several different environments that's found far beneath Halkeginia. |
| 20 | * BlackoutBasement: The Shade Tower in Undetopia is a place bathed in strange darkness where it acts as if it's always night and using Flash to light up the place actually makes things inside the tower invisible. |
| 21 | * BubblegloopSwamp: The Toxic Swamp in Undetopia is a poisonous place filled with muck similar to toxic waste. |
| 22 | * CircleOfStandingStones: Gallia has a place called the Stone Circle where an event allows you to summon the Mythical Pokémon Crisalia. |

| 38 | ** The Frozen Power Plant is a mix of EternalEngine and SlippySlideyIceWorld. |
| 39 | ** In ''Pokémon Vari-Infi and Vari-Zero'', the Polarized Cave is a variation, being LethalLavaLand in ''Pokémon Vari-Infi'' and SlippySlideyIceWorld in ''Pokémon Vari-Zero''. |
| 40 | ** Also in ''Pokémon Vari-Infi and Vari-Zero'', the Zodiac Volcano is an [[UnderwaterBase underwater]] VolcanoLair. |
| 41 | * LethalLavaLand: Flamaze Tunnel is a route heading through the interior of volcanoes. It's split into two halves, with Misaki City located between the two. There's also two in Undetopia, Magma Lake, a lake of lava, and Frozen Volcano, which combines this trope with SlippySlideyIceWorld. In ''Pokémon Vari-Infi'', there's also Polarized Cave. |

| 55 | !Pokémon Vari-Infi and Vari-Zero provides examples of: |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * ComputerIsACheatingBastard: While it already tends to be a problem in battle facilities, in this game's Battle Frontier, if you defeat each Frontier Brain at least two times and clock in HUNDREDS of hours, then this trope is taken to the extreme. Not only are there things such as your opponent's held items activating each turn, getting critical hits at just the right time, becoming unhittable after just one Double Team, etc., their attacks will start ignoring your held items, moves such as Fly or Protect, abilities, and even ''[[NoSell type-immunities]]'', they'll start getting moves and abilities they can't even have, and get infinite PP for all their moves. Even worse, your opponents will start using Pokémon not even ''allowed'' in the Battle Frontier such as Latias or Latios with the Soul Dew, Mewtwo, Rayquaza, Darkrai, Arceus, Genesect, Primal Groudon, etc., while ''you're'' still not allowed to use such Pokémon. |
| 58 | * HappyEndingOverride: ''Pokémon Vari-Infi and Vari-Zero'' ends up doing this to the stories of two sets of games. |
| 59 | ** For ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'', where Team Zodiac's plans were stopped and their leadership gone, they end up returning in this game under [[spoiler: Graves']] leadership with them resuming their attacks on Halkeginia, this time also attacking various institutions in the kingdoms, such as the Pokémon Gyms, Halkeginia University, Romalia's church, [[spoiler: Tristain's monarchy, and even the Pokémon League]]. [[spoiler: Their attacks also extend into Nostrum come the post-game.]] |
| 60 | ** This game also pulls one on ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'', where Team Flare's plans were stopped, [[spoiler: the Ultimate Weapon of Kalos destroyed, and AZ reunited with his Floette]]. In this game, [[spoiler: Team Zodiac has captured AZ, kidnapped his Floette, and are rebuilding the Ultimate Weapon with the intent of having Variruin power it]]. |

Twilifly is exclusive to ''[[DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame Pokémon ChillFlame]]'' while Floredi Venomoth is exclusive to ''[[DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame Pokémon BlazeFrost]]''. |

| 184 | * SpikesOfDoom: More like Needles of Doom. They're covered with long needles that make using attacks that make physical contact against them hazardous. |

| 204 | * LifeDrain: They start off with Absorb and can be taught Giga Drain. |

| 211 | * PowerUpLetdown: Sprigail learns Aqua Flower, a damaging Water-type attack, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment but acts like a Grass-type attack when calculating damage]], and since Sprigail doesn't get STAB with it, it's essentially useless. Also while Thunderbolt is tempting, the springtime weather brought in by their ability halves the power of Electric-type attacks. |
| 212 | * SquishyWizard: Sprigunia has a massive Special Attack stat and very good Special Defense, but its Defense is poor and its Attack stat is downright awful. |
| 213 | * WeatherControlMachine: Their Spring Breeze ability brings in springtime weather for five turns upon entering battle. |

| 501 | * NoIAmBehindYou: Gemesaurus learns Phantom Force. |

In addition, it can also know Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Overheat, and Incinerate via TM and Fire Punch and Burning Spin via Move Tutor. In addition, both of them learn Lighter Fluid, which makes Fire-type attacks more damaging to the target. |
| 523 | * RecurringElement: Radioard and Hazazard are this to Lightiz and Draflect, as both are lines whose highest stages are part Dragon-type, both have high base stat totals and are obtainable late in their respective games, both come right before their respective Gen's pseudo-Legendary lines, and both have a primary type consisting of either Light (Lightiz and Draflect) or Chemical (Radioard and Hazazard), both types that were introduced in ''DarthWiki/PokemonFloraAndAzure''. |
| 524 | * SecretArt: Their Reactive Skin ability, which upon the opponent making physical contact with them, has a 50% chance of lowering the opponent's Defense and Special Defense. [[UselessUsefulSpell It's a bit unfortunate]] that Radioard and Hazazard themselves have low defenses (although the ability can take effect even if they're knocked out). |
| 525 | * TrapMaster: Radioard and Hazazard get CMCL Cyclone by level up. |
| 526 | * WalkingWasteland: Due to them giving off nuclear radiation (even through they can control it), Radioard and Hazazard end up being this. Taken to the extreme with Hazazard being able to expel as much as a ''nuclear meltdown''! |

| 539 | ** Auroracle is also the strongest Pokémon of Togami, Team Starfire's [[spoiler: supposed]] leader, when battled in the postgame. |
| 540 | * BreakingOldTrends: At 105'2, Auroracle is more than ''double'' the length of Wailord, whose record hadn't been broken since [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Generation III]]! |
| 541 | ** However, Auroracle's length is due to its serpentine shape, while Wailord's width and height far exceed that of Auroracle, ''still'' making Wailord the larger of the two. |
| 542 | *** Skibison may have around as much girth as Auroracle (and is heavier, too). |
| 543 | * CanonImmigrant: Prismaeye, Opticlipse, and Auroracle were created by [[http://www.freewebs.com/alpha-maia/ Ninetales]] (the person, not the Pokémon). |
| 544 | * CastFromHitPoints: Starting in ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'', Auroracle learns Ice Cannon, an Ice-type variant of Eruption, Water Spout, and Solar Energy that does less damage the less HP the user has. |
| 545 | * CastingAShadow: Starting in ''DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame'', Auroracle learns Cosmic Beam, a Dark-type move that Cosmic-type (formerly Psychic-type) Pokémon also get STAB for. |
| 546 | * ConfusionFu: Auroracle can know damaging attacks of every type except Fire and Poison, but ''can'' know Sunny Day and Toxic. |
| 547 | * DeathOrGloryAttack: Auroracle gets Ice Burst, which hits all adjacent opponents, but does recoil not only to Auroracle, but also adjacent allies. |
| 548 | * DiscardAndDraw: A double case. In ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'', they lose the Psychic- and Ice-types, but gain the Cosmic- and Crystal-types. |
| 549 | * GemstoneAssault: They learn Crystal Power and Crystal Wave. Starting in ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'', they are Crystal-type. |
| 550 | * GeoEffects: Auroracle learns Psychic Terrain (prior to ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'') and Cosmic Field (as of ''Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise''). |
| 551 | * GravityMaster: Auroracle learns Gravity Hold. |
| 552 | * TheGreatSerpent: Auroracle is a downright enormous serpent with its length of over 100 feet (30 meters), making it by far the longest/tallest normal Pokémon and even longer/taller than the majority of Gigantamax Pokémon. |
| 553 | * HerdHittingAttack: Starting in ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'', Prismaeye gets Prism Blizzard, which hits all Pokémon around the user, and Spatial Pulse, which hits all adjacent opponents if it missed or was blocked the previous turn, as Egg Moves. |
| 554 | * HumanSnowball: The line happens to learn Ice Ball. |
| 555 | * InfinityMinusOneSword: Auroracle happens to be ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'''s pseudo-Legendary line, and its appearance shows. |
| 556 | * LightningBruiser: During a hailstorm (prior to ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'') or Crystal Field (as of ''Pokémon Aquamarine and Turquoise''), Auroracle becomes a borderline example of this. |
| 557 | * MightyGlacier: Auroracle has awesome Special Attack, great HP and Special Defense, good Attack, and average Defense and Speed. |
| 558 | * OlympusMons: A rare non-legendary example similar to Volcarona. Auroracle was almost classified as a Legendary Pokémon due to its power and rarity. |
| 559 | * PowerFloats: Auroracle floats in air, reflected in its ability of Levitate. |
| 560 | * PsychicPowers: Psychic-type prior to ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise''. |
| 561 | * {{Retcon}}: With the introduction of the Cosmic- and Crystal-types in ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'', the family has lost their Psychic- and Ice-types in favor of it. |
| 562 | * {{Seers}}: Auroracle can not only see ''anywhere in the universe'', but can even see into the future or past! It's even said that it can gaze into other dimensions! |
| 563 | * ShockAndAwe: The line happens to have an affinity for Electric-type attacks, learning Light Beam (and Opticlipse and Auroracle learning Zap Cannon as well as Auroracle learning Freezing Bolt) and getting Shock Wave, Charge Beam, and Thunder Wave via TM, plus being able to know Magnet Rise via Move Tutor. |
| 564 | * SpaceIsMagic: Cosmic-type starting in ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise''. |
| 565 | * SuperSenses: Opticlipse can see all the way into ''outer space''! |
| 566 | * XRayVision: Auroracle has this as well. |

| 573 | ---- |
| 574 | * AchillesHeel: Paradyne has a quadruple weakness to both Fire and Flying moves. |
| 575 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: Bug-type |
| 576 | * BossBattle: Paradyne is the strongest Pokémon of Chiyo, the fourth Gym Leader in Floredisa, when battled in ''DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame''. |

| 578 | * ConfusionFu: Paradyne can know damaging Bug, Grass, Poison, Chemical, Dark, Ground, Rock, Fighting, Steel, Flying, Ghost, and Normal moves. |
| 579 | * ElementalAbsorption: Dry Skin causes Paradyne to instead be healed by Water-type moves rather than damaged by them. |
| 580 | * FesteringFungus: In addition to mushrooms making up the majority of Paradyne's body, it controls a vast underground fungal network that allows it to grow mushrooms on anything within the area it resides in, [[OhCrap including living beings]]. |
| 581 | * FungusHumongous: Paradyne has a giant mountain-shaped mushroom on its back with smaller mushrooms growing on the larger one. |
| 582 | * GreenThumb: Grass-type |
| 583 | * HealingFactor: If it has the Dry Skin ability, it gets healed each turn during rain. |
| 584 | * KillItWithFire: If it has Dry Skin, Paradyne takes 5x damage from Fire-type attacks (''10x damage'' if it's hit by Cold Flame). |
| 585 | * KingMook: Paradyne is responsible for Paras and Parasect's mushrooms. This is played differently in ''DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame'', where a Totem-like Paradyne appears during [[Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun Chiyo Sakura]]'s mini-quest. |
| 586 | * KryptoniteIsEverywhere: Like the rest of its line, Paradyne has six weaknesses to worry about; Poison, Ice, Rock, and Bug, with 4x weaknesses to Fire and Flying. |
| 587 | * LifeDrain: Paradyne learns Leech Life, Giga Drain, and Parasitic Drain, a Bug-type variation of Horn Leech. |
| 588 | * ManBitesMan: Paradyne learns Crunch and Flower Fang. |
| 589 | * MightyGlacier: Paradyne has an Attack stat on par with Pinsir and Heracross as well as good Defense and Special Defense, but is still slow. |
| 590 | * SecretArt: Fungi Bomb, which only Paradyne gets. In addition to damage, the move sharply lowers the foe's Speed. |
| 591 | * SocializationBonus: Parasect needs to be traded while holding the Bizarre Mushroom to become Paradyne. |
| 592 | * StatusInflictionAttack: It learns Stun Spore (paralysis), Poisonpowder (poison), and Spore (sleep). Effect Spore can cause one of these effects if an attack makes contact with it. |

| 596 | [[folder: Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite, and Dragonigh]] |
| 597 | |
| 598 | (This is for Dragonigh) Thought up by [[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=77295 YUMAWARU]], Dragonigh is an alternative to Dragonite that keeps its line's serpentine characteristics. It's said to have governed groups of Dragonite in the ancient past and was also the Pokémon of Founder Brimir in Halkeginian history.\ |
| 599 | \ |
| 600 | In ''[[DarthWiki/PokemonSpiritAndShadow Pokémon Spirit and Shadow PLUS]]'', a Delta Species of Dragonigh has been found in Azuchaen. An Electric/Water-type sea snake with massive fins in the shape of wing-like seashells, it flaps its fins in order to send water into the sky, resulting in thunderclouds being seeded and causing thunderstorms. |
| 601 | ---- |
| 602 | * AchillesHeel: Dragonigh is 4x weak to Ice-type attacks. |
| 603 | * ActionInitiative: When combined with its Hidden Ability of Dragonize, Dragonigh gets a Dragon-type Extremespeed that hits ''harder than Dragon Rush'' and is effectively the ''[[OhCrap strongest increased priority attack there is]]''! |
| 604 | * BlowYouAway: Flying-type |
| 605 | * BossBattle: Dragonigh is the strongest Pokémon of Akashi, the fourth member of Halkeginia's EliteFour. |
| 606 | * CanonImmigrant: Dragonigh was created by [[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=77295 YUMAWARU]]. |
| 607 | * ConfusionFu: Dragonigh is capable of knowing damaging moves of every type other than Poison and Chemical. Its Delta variant can know damaging moves of every type but Poison, Chemical, and Fire. |
| 608 | * CounterAttack: Dragonigh starts off with Mirror Coat. |
| 609 | * DeathOrGloryAttack: Starting in ''DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame'', Dragonigh gets Brave Bird. |
| 610 | * ElementalAbsorption: Delta Dragonigh gets Motor Drive, which makes it immune to Electric-type moves, which instead increase its Speed. Its hidden ability of Storm Drain likewise makes it immune to Water-type attacks, which up its Special Attack. |
| 611 | * FixedDamageAttack: Like the rest of its family, it learns Dragon Rage. |
| 612 | * GemstoneAssault: It learns the move Power Gem. |
| 613 | * InfinityMinusOneSword: Dragonigh is a pseudo-Legendary Pokémon just like Dragonite. |
| 614 | * KamehameHadouken: Dragonigh happens to learn Aura Sphere. |
| 615 | * KingMook: In ''DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame'', a Totem-like Dragonigh appears during [[Manga/TheSevenDeadlySins Elizabeth Liones]]' mini-quest. |
| 616 | * MagicKnight: Dragonigh's Special Attack is as high as its Attack (both at 135), meaning it can wield very powerful physical ''and'' special attacks. Its Draco Meteors are ''not'' to be taken lightly. |
| 617 | * MakeMeWannaShout: Dragonigh learns Hyper Voice, great for using with Dragonize. |
| 618 | * MakingASplash: Delta Dragonigh is Water-type. |
| 619 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: Dragonigh's shape happens to have a couple similarities to that of a swan. |
| 620 | * RazorWind: It learns the Flying-type move Air Slash. |
| 621 | * SecretArt: |
| 622 | ** Dragonigh's Hidden Ability is Dragonize, which like Pixilate and Refrigerate, boosts the power of Normal-type moves by 1/3, but this one makes them Dragon-type, and with this ability, Dragonigh can know a ''STAB Dragon-type Extremespeed''! |
| 623 | ** Delta Dragonigh is the only Pokémon to get the move Aqua Beam, a Water-type move that is both physical and special, calculating damage by combining Dragonigh's Attack and Special Attack and the opponent's Defense and Special Defense. |
| 624 | * ShockAndAwe: Delta Dragonigh is Electric-type. |
| 625 | * TrapMaster: Just like the rest of its line, Dragonigh gets the move Wrap. |
| 626 | * UndergroundMonkey: Delta variants of Dragonigh have appeared in Azuchaen, although far rarer than the rest of its family. |

| 630 | [[folder: Incinaos, Paralaos, and Frozaos]] |
| 631 | |
| 632 | The lesser Legendary trio of Halkeginia known as the Dark Interlopers, they serve as an antithesis to [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Sinnoh's Lake Guardians]] and are responsible for the negative traits of humanity; anger (Incinaos), greed (Paralaos), and fear (Frozaos). |
| 633 | ---- |
| 634 | * AchillesHeel: Frozaos has a quadruple weakness to Fighting moves. |
| 635 | * ActionInitiative: All three of them learn Sucker Punch. In addition, all of them also have Prankster as their normal ability. |
| 636 | * AnIcePerson: Frozaos is Ice-type. |
| 637 | * CastFromHitPoints: Incinaos's Solar Power and Paralaos's Storm Charge increase the respective Pokémon's Special Attack in sunlight (Incinaos) or thunderstorm (Paralaos) conditions, but at the cost of HP each turn. |
| 638 | * CombatPragmatist: All three are Dark-type. |
| 639 | * DeathOrGloryAttack: Incinaos gets Flare Blitz as its last move. |
| 640 | * EvilCounterpart: They happen to be ones to Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, respectively. |
| 641 | ** Specifically, Incinaos' Anger counters Uxie's Knowledge, Paralaos' Greed counters Mesprit's Emotion, and Frozaos' Fear counters Azelf's Willpower. |
| 642 | ** Also, the Dark Interlopers happen to have a type advantage against the Lake Guardians. [[FridgeHorror Think about that for a second]][[invoked]]. |
| 643 | * FireIceLightning: They are another trio of Legendaries consisting of this. |
| 644 | * {{Greed}}: Paralaos is supposed to be the embodiment of this and is said to bestowed humanity with it. |
| 645 | * LightningBruiser: |
| 646 | ** Incinaos leans towards this, with awesome Attack, great Speed and Special Defense, and manageable HP and Defense. |
| 647 | ** Paralaos has good HP, great Defense, and even better Special Attack, not to mention a good Speed stat. |
| 648 | * MakingASplash: Paralaos learns Hydro Charge, a physical Water-type attack that Electric-types get STAB for while Frozaos learns Ice Splash, a special Water-type attack that Ice-types get STAB for (and can also know Water Pulse and Ice Water). |
| 649 | * OlympusMons: They're a trio of chaotic imps that are said to have bestowed anger, greed, and fear in the world. |
| 650 | * OneHitKill: Frozaos learns Sheer Cold as its final move. |
| 651 | * PlayingWithFire: Incinaos is Fire-type. |
| 652 | * PowerfulButInaccurate: Paralaos learns Zap Cannon, which while powerful, only has 50% accuracy. |
| 653 | * PowerOfTheSun: Incinaos learns Solar Flare, a Grass-type attack that calculates damage as if it were a Fire-type attack. Not really useful given that Incinaos doesn't get STAB for it. |
| 654 | * RecurringElement: They happen to continue the elemental trend with Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres, Icolet/Electraisy/Flarose, and Reshiram/Zekrom/Kyurem. |
| 655 | * SealedEvilInACan: The Dark Interlopers were locked within three caves located throughout Halkeginia and Undetopia until the Zodiac Trinity released them in order to use them to spread chaos throughout the region. |
| 656 | * ShockAndAwe: Paralaos is Electric-type. |
| 657 | * StoneWall: Frozaos is one. Becomes even moreso when Ice Barrier is active. |

| 662 | [[folder: Infiran, Zerion, and Variruin]] |
| 663 | |
| 664 | The Legendary Pokémon of Halkeginia known as the Variant Trio, Infiran governs all things that are infinite, Zerion governs all things that are nonexistence, and Variruin is a neutral Pokémon that was sealed away long ago. Legends say that Founder Brimir used Infiran and Zerion thousands of years ago in order to win a war and nearly wiped out a race that came from Undetopia, but what if these Pokémon were to awaken in this world today? |
| 665 | ---- |
| 666 | * AchillesHeel: Dark/Psychic Variruin has a 4x weakness to Bug-type moves. |
| 667 | * AlwaysAccurateAttack: All three of them learn Aura Sphere. |
| 668 | * AttackReflector: Infiran and Variruin (''Pokémon Infinite'' for Variruin) learn Mirror Glass and Counter Guard, which actually reflects attacks (special for Mirror Glass, physical for Counter Guard) back to the attacker. |
| 669 | * BadassInDistress: Depending on the game, [[spoiler: either Infiran or Zerion is captured by Team Zodiac and being used by Kuroi to transform the world into a perdition of torment and suffering]]. [[spoiler: In ''Pokémon Vari-Infi and Vari-Zero'', Variruin happens to be captured by Team Zodiac with the intent of having it power the rebuilt [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Ultimate Weapon of Kalos]].]] |
| 670 | * BlowYouAway: Zerion |
| 671 | * BossBattle: [[spoiler: At the end of ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'', Kuroi awakens Variruin and you're forced to fight it, where it can't be captured. In ''Pokémon Vari-Infi and Vari-Zero'', the same thing happens at the Altar of Origin, where it must be caught after taking damage.]] |
| 672 | * ConfusionFu: |
| 673 | ** Infiran can know damaging attacks of every type but Dark, Poison, and Chemical (but can know, Toxic, Embargo, and Snatch). |
| 674 | ** Zerion can know damaging attacks of every type but Light, Poison, and Chemical (but can know Toxic and Magic Shield). |
| 675 | ** Variruin can know damaging attacks of every type but Dragon, Poison, and Chemical (although it can know Toxic). |
| 676 | * CastingAShadow: Zerion, also Variruin under Zerion's influence. |
| 677 | * DarkIsEvil: Zerion is this [[spoiler: when being controlled by Kuroi]]. Also Dark/Psychic Variruin when used by someone evil, [[spoiler: such as once again, Kuroi]]. |
| 678 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Although Zerion is a Dark-type, it's supposed to be the personification of nothingness, or a void. Also Dark/Psychic Variruin when used by someone benevolently. |
| 679 | * DeathOrGloryAttack: Zerion learns Brave Bird. Zero Variruin gets Shadow Burst while Infinite Variruin gets Shining Burst. |
| 680 | * DinosaursAreDragons: Infiran has dinosaurian traits, but is a Dragon-type. |
| 681 | * GameplayAndStorySegregation: Infiran's ''Zero'' Pokédex entry states that its mass is said to be infinite, yet it has a set weight of 749.0 lbs. Likewise, Zerion's ''Infinite'' Pokédex entry states that its mass is said to be zero, yet it weighs 453.0 lbs. |
| 682 | * GemstoneAssault: Variruin starts off with Crystal Power. |
| 683 | * GiantFlyer: Zerion comes in at a height/length of 14'9. |
| 684 | * {{Golem}}: Variruin happens to have aspects of a mighty golem in its design. |
| 685 | * GreenThumb: Zerion starts off with Gale Plant, a Grass-type attack that Flying-types get STAB for. |
| 686 | * HealingFactor: Infinite Variruin's ability of Regenerator heals it a bit when switched out of battle. |
| 687 | * {{Infinite}}: Infiran is the personification of infinity, shown in its ability of Endless Power, which gives its attacks infinite PP, and its signature move of Infini Multi, where it crushes the foe with an infinitely expanding force. |
| 688 | * JackOfAllStats: With all its stats made as equal as possible, Variruin excels at everything (not taking into consideration its Unbalance ability, though). |
| 689 | * LightEmUp: Infiran, also Variruin under Infiran's influence. |
| 690 | * LightIsGood: Infiran represents infinity and endlessness. Also Light/Psychic Variruin is this when used by someone with a good heart. |
| 691 | * LightIsNotGood: Infiran is this [[spoiler: when Kuroi is controlling it]]. Light/Psychic Variruin can also be this when used by someone evil, [[spoiler: like Kuroi]]. |
| 692 | * LightningBruiser: |
| 693 | ** With great HP, Defense, and Special Defense, in addition to good Attack, Special Attack, and Speed, Infiran is this. |
| 694 | ** With amazing Attack, Special Attack, and Speed, as well as good HP, Defense, and Special Defense, Zerion is this. |
| 695 | ** Variruin can also become one if Unbalance gives it an Attack, Special Attack, or Speed boost. Zero Variruin is this with its immense Attack and Defense. |
| 696 | * {{Lunacy}}: Zerion surprisingly learns Moonblast by level up. Variruin also does so in ''Pokémon Zero''. |
| 697 | * MakeMeWannaShout: Zerion happens to learn Boomburst while Variruin does so in ''Pokémon Zero'' only. Variruin also learns Hyper Voice. |
| 698 | * MasterOfAll: All of Variruin's stats are either 110 or 115, and since Unbalance ups one of its stats (at the cost of lowering another) depending on the opponent's stats, which can build up as more opponents are sent out, it's capable of filling any niche stat wise. |
| 699 | * MightyGlacier: |
| 700 | ** Infiran can become one if you get an Attack, Special Attack, or Evasion boost on Infini Multi. |
| 701 | ** Variruin may also become one if Unbalance gives it a Defense or Special Defense boost. |
| 702 | * NonElemental: Variruin when not under Infiran's or Zerion's influence. |
| 703 | * OlympusMons: They're beings that are the embodiments of infinity, zero, and variables, respectively. |
| 704 | * PlayingWithFire: Infiran starts off with Dragon Fire, a Fire-type attack that Dragon-types get STAB for. |
| 705 | * PowerOfTheVoid: Zerion is the embodiment of this trope. Its signature move of Zero Divide actually involves ''splitting matter itself with a void''! |
| 706 | * PsychicPowers: Variruin |
| 707 | * QuirkyBard: Variruin has two forms of this. |
| 708 | ** First, while its typing is normally Normal/Psychic, having either Infiran or Zerion in your party as well changes its typing to either Dark/Psychic (Zerion) or Light/Psychic (Infiran). As of ''Pokémon Vari-Infi and Vari-Zero'', it can attain these typings by holding either the Infinity Orb, which makes it Light/Psychic-type and increases its Special Attack and Special Defense but lowers Attack and Defense, or the Zero Orb, which makes it Dark/Psychic-type and increases its Attack and Defense but lowers Special Attack and Special Defense. |
| 709 | ** The other form is through its Unbalance ability, which raises the corresponding stat of Variruin of whatever the opponent's highest stat is, then lowers the corresponding stat of Variruin of whatever the opponent's lowest stat is. (ex: If the opponent's Special Attack is their highest stat and Speed is their lowest, Variruin's Special Attack will go up and its Speed will go down.) |
| 710 | * RecurringElement: Once again, they're version mascots with a role in the story and the scheme of the evil organization. |
| 711 | ** Variruin continues the tradition set by Rayquaza, Giratina, Kyurem, Zygarde, and Solares, being the third in its trio and only obtainable during the post-game. |
| 712 | ** Variruin also shares similarities with Kyurem, in that it's influenced by the other Legendaries in its trio. In Variruin's case, one of its two types is changed if Infiran or Zerion is also in your party (or artifacts pertaining to them). |
| 713 | * SecretArt: Infini Multi for Infiran, Zero Divide for Zerion, and Equalization for Variruin. Their abilities of Endless Power (Infiran), Zero Reduction (Zerion), and Unbalance (Variruin) are this. Infinite Variruin also has Shining Burst while Zero Variruin also has Shadow Burst. |
| 714 | ** StatusBuff: In addition to damage, Infini Multi also may act like Acupressure, greatly increasing one of the user's stats at random, including Accuracy and Evasion. |
| 715 | ** [[StatusBuffDispel Status Debuff]]: In addition to damage, Zero Divide may also act like a reverse Ancientpower, lowering all of the opponent's main stats. |
| 716 | * ShoutOut: Zerion's design is supposed to be based off of Falzer from ''[[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Mega Man Battle Network 6]]''. Variruin's design is supposed to be inspired by Golden Silver from ''[[VideoGame/GunstarHeroes Gunstar Super Heroes]]''. |
| 717 | ** In addition, Zerion could be seen as a Shout Out to ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'', as it's referred to as the Zero Pokémon and is supposed to be reminiscent of a void. |
| 718 | ** Also, ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'' take place in a region based off of the location for that anime and among the characters in it are ones from ''The Familiar of Zero''. |
| 719 | * SingleSpecimenSpecies: The legends involving them state this, and given that there's only one of each in the game… |
| 720 | * SquishyWizard: Infinite Variruin is this with its immense Special Attack and Special Defense stats, but poor Attack and Defense stats. |
| 721 | * SwordOfPlotAdvancement: Like with Reshiram and Zekrom, Xerneas and Yveltal, and Terrias and Hydrios, you're required to capture them. Defeating them doesn't give you any experience. |
| 722 | * YinYangBomb: Through its Zero and Infinite typings, Variruin uses both Dark (Zerion or Zero Orb) and Light (Infiran or Infinity Orb). |

| 738 | * CounterAttack: Frazilova gets Mirror Coat. |
| 739 | * {{Expy}}: Happens to be a bit of one of Fraaz from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks''. |
| 740 | * GlassCannon: With awesome Attack and Special Attack as well as great Speed, Flame Form Frazilova is this at the cost of average defenses. |
| 741 | * HailfirePeaks: Frazilova is this in Pokémon form! Where it's located, the Frozen Volcano, is also this trope. |
| 742 | * MagmaMan: It's one half lava creature. One of the moves that it learns is Eruption. |
| 743 | * MightyGlacier: Frost Form Frazilova exchanges some from its offensive stats and Speed for very nice Defense and Special Defense. |
| 744 | * OlympusMons: It's a Legendary Pokémon encountered in the post-game. |
| 745 | * OneHitKill: Fraziolva gets Sheer Cold as a final move. |
| 746 | * PlayingWithFire: Fire-type |
| 747 | * SecretArt: Frazilova comes with three; one move and two abilities. |
| 748 | ** Cold Flame, which is both an Ice-type and Fire-type attack, and as a result will ''wreck'' Grass-types. Starting in ''DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame'', its base power is upped and it has a 10% chance of burning or freezing the opponent. |
| 749 | ** Hot Ice, which Flame Form Frazilova gets, gives its Ice-type attacks a 10% chance of burning targets in addition to other effects. |
| 750 | ** Icy Fire, which Frost Form Frazilova gets, gives its Fire-type attacks a 10% chance of freezing targets as well as other effects. |
| 751 | * YinYangBomb: It uses both Fire and Ice. |

| 762 | * DamageSpongeBoss: Its HP is '''immense''' (at '''180''', only outdone by Wobbuffet, Chansey, and Blissey), so it can take a lot of damage regardless of its form. Made even better given that it learns Recover quite early. |
| 763 | * FairyDragons: Paradistan is a Dragon-type Pokémon that is small and serene. |
| 764 | * FixedDamageAttack: It learns Dragon Rage early on. |
| 765 | * GlacierWaif: Despite its small appearance, Paradistan has enormous HP in addition to depending on form, great offense or great defense. |
| 766 | * GottaCatchEmAll: In order to be able to enter Atledegrila and encounter Paradistan, you'll need to have acquired every Pokémon from both SFA-Dex's (barring Auright and Crisalia, due to their event status) and ''Pokémon Infinite Zero'''s Mewtwo. That's at least 138 different Pokémon (and you may need as many as 145 given some like Mystiloom and Dragonigh)! To accomplish this, you'll need to not only trade Pokémon between ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'', but also transfer Pokémon from ''[[DarthWiki/PokemonFloraAndAzure Pokémon Flora, Azure, and Solar]]'' (such as the Legendaries), meaning you will use at least ''four'' games [[ThatOneSidequest in order to accomplish this]][[invoked]]! |
| 767 | * HealThyself: If its gigantic HP wasn't enough, Paradistan also learns Recover to get back half of it! |
| 768 | * MightyGlacier: Its Night Form is this with its massive HP, great Attack and Special Attack, and average Defense, Special Defense, and Speed. |
| 769 | * OlympusMons: It's a Legendary Pokémon that oversees the Pokémon world equivalent of Shangri-La. |
| 770 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: Despite its small size, Paradistan fits the role of a Legendary Pokémon stat wise, not to mention it has the fourth highest HP of all Pokémon. |
| 771 | * PsychicPowers: Paradistan learns Extrasensory and Stored Power in addition to being able to know Psychic and Dream Eater via TM. |
| 772 | * RazorWind: One of the moves it gets is Air Slash. |
| 773 | * SecretArt: Ultra Force, a base '''200''' Dragon-type attack, which allows Day Form Paradistan to hit just as hard as say White Kyurem does with ''Draco Meteor''! The drawback is that the move deducts 2 PP rather than 1. As of ''DarthWiki/PokemonSpiritAndShadow'', it's no longer the only Pokémon to learn it. |
| 774 | ** Its ability of Mystic Change, which allows it to switch forms when going from day to night or night to day, is also exclusive to it. |
| 775 | * StoneWall: Is this in its Day Form, with its ''huge'' HP and great defenses. |
| 776 | * TrapMaster: Learns Tornado Hold, a flying-type trapping move. |
| 777 | |

| 780 | [[folder: Crisalia]] |
| 781 | |
| 782 | A Mythical Fairy/Crystal-type Pokémon that is able to manipulate, control, and create crystal in all its forms, Crisalia is an event Pokémon and Mew expy that is said to reside in a place known as the Crystal Dimension and had a role in Gallia's history. |
| 783 | ---- |
| 784 | * ActionInitiative: Crisalia is the only non-Light-type Pokémon to learn Light Shard. |
| 785 | * AttackReflector: Crisalia learns the move Mirror Glass. |
| 786 | * BarrierWarrior: It learns Light Screen, Magic Shield, and its signature move of Crystal Shell. |
| 787 | * ColdIron: Starting in ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'', Crisalia has a double weakness to Steel. |
| 788 | * ConfusionFu: Can know damaging attacks of every type but Poison, Ground, Dragon, and Chemical. |
| 789 | * CounterAttack: It learns Mirror Coat. |
| 790 | * GemstoneAssault: Crisalia's powers revolve around crystals. It learns Light Shard, Power Gem, Crystal Power, Crystal Break, and Crystal Flash. Starting in in ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'', Crisalia is Crystal-type. |
| 791 | * GeoEffects: Crisalia gets Misty Terrain by levelling. Starting in ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'', it also gets Crystal Field. |
| 792 | * HealingFactor: Crystal Shell heals Crisalia by half of the damage the opponent's attack would have done. |
| 793 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Its signature move of Crystal Shell causes Crisalia to be healed rather than damaged by the opponent's attack. |
| 794 | * JackOfAllStats: Like the Mew [[{{Expy}} expies]] before it, all of Crisalia's base stats are at 100. |
| 795 | * LightEmUp: Crisalia learns both Light Shard and Magic Shield, can know Light Pulse and Flash Stopper from TM's, and can get Bright Blast and Light Guard from Move Tutors. Also, a special giveaway Crisalia knows Infini Multi, Infiran's signature move. |
| 796 | * {{Lunacy}}: Learns Moonblast as its final level-up move. |
| 797 | * MidasTouch: Crisalia has a variation. It can turn anything it touches into crystal (and can turn it back if needed). |
| 798 | * OlympusMons: It's a Fairy-type mythical Pokémon of crystals. |
| 799 | * PowerOfTheVoid: A giveaway Crisalia comes with Zero Divide, which is normally Zerion's signature move. |
| 800 | * {{Retcon}}: With the introduction of the Crystal-type in ''DarthWiki/PokemonAquamarineAndTurquoise'', Crisalia has gained that type. |
| 801 | * SecretArt: Crystal Shell, which works like Protect, except that in addition to blocking all damage the attack would have done, it heals Crisalia by half that amount. However, it doesn't block status moves. |
| 802 | ** Its ability of Crystal Shield raises either its Defense or Special Defense depending on the foe's higher Attack or Special Attack stat (raises Defense if the foe's Attack is higher and Special Defense if the foe's Special Attack is higher). |
| 803 | * SecretCharacter: Like Auright, Crisalia can only be obtained through a special event. |
| 804 | * TakenForGranite: It can turn living things to crystal. In Gallia's tale of the Crystal King, the king of Gallia at the time did this to one of his twin sons in order to spare the son from being killed as Gallian decree mandated. |
| 805 | * TheFairFolk: Fairy-type |

| 820 | [[folder: Takao Kuroi]] |
| 821 | |
| 822 | Adapted from ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster'' franchise, [[http://www.anime-planet.com/characters/takao-kuroi Takao Kuroi]] is a dishonest and hateful man and is known to have a large ego. He's the President of 961 Production, with a hatred of his two biggest competitors, 765 Production (from ''DarthWiki/PokemonFloraAndAzure'') and Vocaloid Corp. He has it out for those two agencies and will do whatever it takes to bring them down. Kuroi is a [[RichBastard rich bastard]] who uses his money and influence in order to obtain whatever he wants, persuading people with money to side with him and also lies to the other party and spreads rumors. As you encounter him throughout the game, you get to know him as a [[{{Jerkass}} downright jerkass]] that you would wish you could just punch in the face. [[spoiler: However, just when you thought that he couldn't get any worse, Kuroi turns out to be the leader of the villainous Team Zodiac, with a plan that involves him ''creating hell on earth and making everyone suffer for all eternity''!]] |
| 823 | ---- |
| 824 | !Tropes that apply to Takao Kuroi: |
| 825 | |
| 826 | * AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: While he's already the closest thing the ''Idolmaster'' series has to a villain, in ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'', he's eventually revealed to be Zodiac's leader and goes from jerkass to monster!]] |
| 827 | * AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Kuroi calls himself a man that likes carnage and seeing people suffer. Played even straighter when he attacks your friends and his followers during the endgame.]] |
| 828 | * BadBoss: [[spoiler: He has Infiran or Zerion attack his underlings and Project Jupiter during the climax of Team Zodiac's plot.]] |
| 829 | * BigBad: [[spoiler: Of ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero''.]] |
| 830 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Happens to be this. [[spoiler: Taken further once he's revealed to be Zodiac's leader.]] |
| 831 | * CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler: Having captured Infiran or Zerion is bad enough, but as it turns out, for some reason, Kuroi has also captured Variruin, and decides to have it destroy the world.]] |
| 832 | ** [[spoiler: [[FridgeHorror Maybe he had originally planned on using Variruin to create the carnage and suffering his hellish new world would have.]]]] |
| 833 | * DarkIsEvil: [[spoiler: Half of his team consists of Dark- and Ghost-types.]] |
| 834 | * DiabolicalMastermind: [[spoiler: Kuroi turns out to be the leader of Team Zodiac.]] |
| 835 | * DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler: We've gotten a few villainous team leaders with a TakeOverTheWorld plot, and several with a WellIntentionedExtremist[=/=]UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans plot, but never have we gotten one who intends to transform the world into his own personal hell!]] |
| 836 | * EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: Who'd ever thought that the president of an idol agency would turn out to be such a twisted villain bent on creating a world of darkness and torment! He could give Chihaya and Del Donna a run for their money!]] |
| 837 | * EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler: In ''[[DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame Pokémon BlazeFrost and ChillFlame]]'', Weiss flat out says that Kuroi is worse than [[AbusiveParents her]] [[CorruptCorporateExecutive father]].]] |
| 838 | * {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: Kuroi comes off as having shades of Junko Enoshima from ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' with his talk of wanting to turn the world into one of despair.]] |
| 839 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: See LaserGuidedKarma below.]] |
| 840 | ** [[spoiler: On another note, when it comes to Kuroi's plot, he states that this will be the fate of everyone that survives the world's transformation.]] |
| 841 | * {{Foil}}: It may not be obvious, but Kuroi can be considered one to [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Lysandre,]] with Kuroi's ambitions and desires actually contrasting Lysandre's.]] |
| 842 | ** [[spoiler: To compare, Lysandre wishes to create a beautiful new world; Kuroi wishes to create a hellish new world. Lysandre considers the world to be ugly and wishes to make it beautiful. Kuroi considers the world to be prosperous and wishes to make it awful.]] |
| 843 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: Miku Hatsune reveals that there are two sides to Mega forms, and the dark side is that if both the person and their Pokémon share an evil nature, a Mega form can occur there as well. This comes into play with Kuroi's Mega Ring and his Tyranitar.]] |
| 844 | * GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: Attains this in ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'''s sequels due to Graves, Zodiac's new leader and DragonAscendant, having acts of terror carried out in his name, although due to his fate in ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'', Kuroi doesn't show up in person.]] |
| 845 | * HateSink: Kuroi's {{Jerkass}} personality and actions make him a very unlikable character. [[spoiler: The reveal of him as Team Zodiac's leader and his true sadistic personality makes him even more of this.]] |
| 846 | * {{Jerkass}}: Oh boy, Kuroi is obviously the biggest one in the game, as there isn't one moment in the game where Kuroi is nice to anyone, especially you. |
| 847 | * KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: He's already quite a jerkass, but once he's revealed to be Zodiac's leader, Kuroi also ends up also being quite a threatening and scary villain. This puts him within the same realm as villains like [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Ghetsis]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon PMD Darkrai]].]] |
| 848 | * LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: When Kuroi decides to awaken Variruin and have it destroy the world, it traps him in a sphere of light or vortex of darkness, and he disappears entirely.]] |
| 849 | * OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler: Becomes this after his plan involving [[OlympusMons Infiran and Zerion]] is ruined.]] |

| 858 | * PoisonIsEvil: [[spoiler: In addition to his Dark-types, Kuroi also happens to have a Poison-type in his lineup, Volatoise.]] |
| 859 | * RichBastard: Kuroi is a wealthy, dishonest, hateful, and also [[spoiler: torment loving]] man. |
| 860 | * {{Sadist}}: [[spoiler: Reveals himself to be this upon being discovered as Zodiac's leader.]] |
| 861 | * TheBusCameBack: |
| 862 | ** [[spoiler: Kuroi makes a return in ''[[DarthWiki/PokemonFrostAndFlame Pokémon BlazeFrost and ChillFlame]]'''s Team RR Episode, where he comes from a world where he succeeded in plunging the world into despair and torment and seeks to do the same to the one he's entered.]] |
| 863 | ** [[spoiler: Kuroi returns once more in ''DarthWiki/PokemonSpiritAndShadow PLUS'''s Fusion Team event, where he's one of the two leaders of either Team Death (''Spirit PLUS'') or Team Void (''Shadow PLUS'').]] |
| 864 | * TheUnseen: He's always only seen as a silhouette. Handwaved with the fact that he always resides in shady areas whenever he's seen. |
| 865 | * UngratefulBastard: After clearing Team Zodiac out of 961 Pro's building late in the game, instead of thanking you, Kuroi berates you and tells you to get out of his sight. [[spoiler: The fact that he's Team Zodiac's leader ends up casting new light on this incident.]] |
| 866 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: [[spoiler: Given his actions in a semi-kid friendly game, he's definitely this.]] |
| 867 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: To an extent. Kuroi is a very successful and wealthy man, and 961 is more well-known than 765. |
| 868 | * WalkingSpoiler: There's a good reason that most of Kuroi's entries are marked as spoilers. |
| 869 | * WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: When having Infiran/Zerion attack both his followers and your allies, Kuroi has no qualms about one of them being Lili/Kim.]] |
| 870 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: When his plans involving Infiran/Zerion start coming to fruition, Kuroi has said Pokémon blast Graves and the Zodiac Trinity (along with Project Jupiter, who he was eventually going to mold into a new Zodiac Trinity) with light or dark energy!]] |

| 874 | [[AC:(Team) Zodiac]] |
| 875 | |
| 876 | [[folder: As a Whole]] |
| 877 | |
| 878 | The villainous team in ''Pokémon Infinite and Zero'', Team Zodiac is a group of people who only like one thing, and that is to strike terror and fear into the hearts of Halkeginia and spread chaos throughout. Without any care for others or even themselves, Zodiac sets out to cause acts of terror and destruction that will create disorder in the world and what they do and where they strike has no pattern. [[spoiler: However, their leader does have a grand scheme that he doesn't share with the rest of the group, and that is to use Infiran and Zerion's powers to [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans bring forth a dystopia of chaos and torment for all]]!]] |
| 879 | ---- |
| 880 | !Tropes that apply to (Team) Zodiac as a whole: |
| 881 | |
| 882 | * AxCrazy: A number of Zodiac Grunts come off as this due to their Joker-like personalities. |
| 883 | * BatOutOfHell: Like with all other villainous teams, Team Zodiac is very fond of using [[GoddamnedBats Zubat and Golbat]][[invoked]]. |
| 884 | * CardCarryingVillain: Team Zodiac makes it very clear that they're psychopaths and are out to cause terrible things. |
| 885 | * DarkIsEvil: Zodiac is fond of using Dark-type Pokémon. |
| 886 | * DoNotAdjustYourSet: At the very beginning of the game, a Team Zodiac member makes a pirated broadcast about how they are going to make Halkeginia tremble in fear of them and show them what terror really means. |
| 887 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: When you first encounter Team Zodiac, it's in Alden Forest, where the two Grunts there are planning to ''set the forest on fire''! |
| 888 | * {{Expy}}: WordOfGod [[invoked]] has stated that Zodiac is supposed to come off as a villainous team version of ComicBook/TheJoker. |
| 889 | * ForTheEvulz: It's explicitly stated ingame that Team Zodiac does what they do not for money or power, but to cause chaos and terror throughout Halkeginia. |
| 890 | * KnightOfCerebus: Rather than things such as taking Pokémon, Zodiac would rather ''kill'' them for pleasure and they attempt to burn down a whole forest for kicks, destroy Tristain Academy, blow up a clock tower, annihilate an entire city, bring down a huge corporation, and bomb another clock tower, plus more, because they're ''bored''! |
| 891 | * PsychicPowers: In addition to the aforementioned Dark-types, Zodiac is also known to use Psychic-type Pokémon often, too. |
| 892 | * SinisterShades: Team Zodiac Grunts and Admins wear dark-color visors similar to [[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum Cipher Peons]]. |
| 893 | * SoulPower: Zodiac also likes to use Ghost-type Pokémon. |
| 894 | * StrawNihilist: Team Zodiac believes in nothing and would rather have there be nothing. Most of them joined because they don't care for anything at all. |
| 895 | * TerroristsWithoutACause: Most of Zodiac has no rhyme or reason for the acts of terror that they cause. |
| 896 | * TheKingslayer: There are rumors that the death of Tristain's King Henry was actually Team Zodiac's doing. |
| 897 | * WouldHurtAChild: More like they would ''kill'' a child that's been messing with their plans, [[ForTheEvulz or even one that hasn't been]]. |

| 932 | |
| 933 | * [[spoiler: Kuroi conditioned idols into partaking in suicide missions in order to further his plans. Given how one of his Pokémon, Malamar, is known to hypnotize its prey, it's likely he used that to control said idols.]] |
| 934 | |
| 935 | [[/folder]] |
| 936 | |
| 937 | [[folder: That One Boss]] |
| 938 | |
| 939 | * [[Literature/HentaiPrinceAndTheStonyCat Tsukiko Tsutsukakushi]], who's only the first Gym Leader, specializes in Grass-types, and can be a WakeUpCallBoss if you didn't choose Heatiger as your starter. For starters, all three of her Pokémon know Leaf Shield, which in addition to doing damage, also provides the effects of both Reflect ''and'' Light Screen for five turns, effectively halving all damage done to her lineup! [[FromBadToWorse Even worse]], her first Pokémon, Sprigail, brings in the new springtime weather through Spring Breeze, which ups the power of Grass-type attacks and makes Leaf Shield as powerful as Giga Drain! On top of that, it knows Absorb to heal itself while sapping HP from your Pokémon and can use Growth to increase its Special Attack by ''two'' stages while in springtime conditions! Oddish knows Acid, which can decrease your Special Defense, and Poisonpowder, which does exactly what you expect it to. Tsukiko's best Pokémon, Maractus, has the highest stats of any Pokémon at this point in the game, knows Pin Missile, which if it hits five times is a little stronger than ''Megahorn'', and also knows Growth to ''[[OhCrap increase its Attack and Special Attack two stages under springtime conditions]]''! The icing on the cake, both Oddish and Maractus have the Chlorophyll ability, making them twice as fast thanks to Sprigail's springtime weather! Hopefully you didn't choose Cryscale as your starter, as this would make the above ''much worse''. |
| 940 | * [[Anime/GirlsUndPanzer Saori Takebe]] might very well be considered Whitney's successor when it comes to her Ground-type Pokémon, the most imposing by far being Steelix, and the thing is, ''she's only the second Gym Leader''! Steelix in question has eight resistances and two immunities, ''enormous'' Defense, manageable Attack, and carries a good moveset for the standards of this early in the game. It'll use Bulldoze to both deal damage ''and'' slow down your Pokémon, Smack Down to bring Flying-types to the ground (not that they're able to do much to Steelix anyway), Bind to keep you trapped while you succumb to Bulldoze, and Autotomize to make itself much faster! There are very few Pokémon you can obtain at this point in the game that are able to stand up to Steelix, and while it's tempting to use Heatiger or Charmander (Heatiger would likely be Hotwiger at this point), Bulldoze will end their run quickly. Cryscale (would be Tidystal at this point) is also viable, but happens to be weak to Smack Down. Your best bets would be Saureaf (should be Raptant at this point) or Squirtle (better to be Wartortle). The former can two-shot (maybe three-shot) Steelix with Dragon Rage. However, there's also the problem of Steelix's Sitrus Berry, which it'll eat to regain health. Although they're pushovers compared to Steelix, Geodude and Anacid both know Bulldoze as well, the former will utilize a Defense Curl/Rollout tactic, and the latter knows Bite to cause flinching, Pin Missile, which can do some major damage if it hits enough times, and Chemical Jet for increased priority. Arceus help you in this battle. |
| 941 | * Unitye, the first member of the Zodiac Trinity can be troublesome if you didn't choose Heatiger as your starter or get Charmander later on. This is due to Florantom, which is a strong Pokémon for so early in the game. First off, you can't hurt it with Normal or Fighting-type attacks; second, it has a high Special Attack and knows Psybeam, which can confuse, and Magical Leaf, which never misses. Third, it knows Shadow Fence, which it can set up so that if you try using certain status moves on any of her Pokémon, then [[HoistByHisOwnPetard they'll be sent right back to them]]. If you don't bring Carvanha down in one hit, it'll likely use Scary Face to halve your Speed, then hit you with Bite, Waterfall, and Ice Fang, all of which do good damage ''and'' have a change of causing flinch! |
| 942 | ** In the final battle with Unitye, most of her Pokémon are at between Levels 47 and 50 and have powerful movesets. Florantom now carries Leaf Storm, which does a ton of damage while Sharpedo knows Earthquake, which is hugely damaging, Aqua Jet, which has increased priority, and Ice Smash in case you try using barriers like Reflect and Light Screen. She now has Jynx, which has great Special Attack and good Special Defense and Speed in addition to knowing a good Water-type move in Ice Water, which has a ''20%'' chance of freezing the opponent! No other move in the game has a chance of freezing higher than 10%, and given that freeze is the most hindering status condition, that's not good. Unitye also uses Mikombat, who has a priority move in Mach Punch and the [[AlwaysAccurateAttack always accurate]] Faint Attack, and the power of both moves is increased by Technician! However, your greatest adversary in this battle comes from Crobat, who's not only fast, but will use Confuse Ray to confuse your Pokémon and follow up with Dark Pulse. It also knows Chemical Missile, a hugely damaging Poison-type attack that ''bypasses'' Steel's immunity to Poison, and will pull of the dreaded Acrobatics/Flying Gem combo! |
| 943 | * [[spoiler:[[BigBad Takao Kuroi]]]] makes his mark as a very difficult villainous team leader to take down due to his Tyranitar, or more specifically, ''Mega'' Tyranitar, who has immense Attack, huge defenses, and worst of all, Sand Stream! It also has insane type coverage with its moveset being able to cover 55% of all types. If you don't have a strong Fighting-type in your lineup, then Mega Tyranitar might just tear your team apart. Even with [[OlympusMons Infiran or Zerion]] in your lineup, the Pokémon in question is several levels below that of Tyranitar, who knows Outrage for Infiran and Stone Edge for Zerion (Zerion will go down in one hit to Stone Edge). It also knows Crunch for STAB and Earthquake to deal powerful damage to your lineup. If that wasn't enough, 2/3 of [[spoiler: Kuroi's]] lineup can kick your ass! Glacimpact has high HP, Defense, and Special Defense, Ice Pack reducing super-effective damage done to it, Ice Wall to reduce damage even further not just for it, ''but also the rest of [[spoiler: Kuroi's]] team'', and carries powerful moves in Hydro Pump, Ice Burst, and Earthquake. Ifrigon is also a threat as not only does it carry powerful moves such as Flare Blitz and Dragon Rush (none of its moves have a base power lower than 100), but is also holding the Life Orb to increase the damage ''even further''! Volatoise, on the other hand, is [[spoiler: Kuroi's]] most dangerous Pokémon next to Tyranitar, since it has high defenses, allowing it to withstand a hit, use Shell Smash to greatly up its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed, then hit you with Chemical Burst, Head Smash, and Reactive Crush, which are all hugely damaging moves with recoil. The only problem is that Volatoise's ability is Rock Head, which ''[[NoSell negates the recoil damage]]''! Trevenant and Malamar are the weakest in [[spoiler: Kuroi's]] lineup and not much of a problem, but the former will burn your Pokémon using Will-o-Wisp while restoring its own health with Horn Leech while the latter will turn your high Attack Pokémon's power against them with Foul Play, use Superpower to not only do huge damage but up its own Attack and Defense thanks to Contrary and use Topsy-Turvy to invert the stage changes for your lineup. Also, after beating [[spoiler: Kuroi]], you still have to fight Variruin, and if you lose to either of them, then everything's reset to before the Zodiac Jet, which means fighting Graves, catching Infiran/Zerion, fighting [[spoiler: Kuroi]], ''and'' battling Variruin all over again! |
