| ~ Lysandre to Zygarde. |
Lysandre is the main antagonist of the XY saga of the Pokémon anime series, and the overarching antagonist of Pokémon anime's "Mega Evolution Specials". He serves as the leader of Team Flare and the archenemy of Zygarde.
He was voiced by Hideaki Tezuka in Japanese and H.D. Quinn in English, who also currently voices Ommadon.
Personality[]
Unlike his game counterpart, where he shows honor towards his enemies and remorse for his actions, the anime version of Lysandre serves as a violent, wrathful, manipulative and hypocritical person. He first presents himself in a fake personality as a calm, respected man, who works together with the scientists of his own laboratory, the Lysandre Labs, in order to craft many products to create a better future, however, his dark side can be seen after when he is revealed to be controlling Team Flare, where he is seen as a person who is willing to exploit people for his own benefits, such as using Alain to retrieve the Mega Stones across the world without telling him the overall goal, using Mairin's comatose Chespin as fuel to activate the Megalith, and kidnapping Ash Ketchum and using a ray to brainwash and torture him.
Lysandre's opportunistic and wrathful personality serves him as one of the most dangerous villains that Ash has ever faced, as Lysandre was willing to do anything to continue his plan to end the human race, even if that means hurting and possibly killing people, including children, such as attempting to incinerate Ash and Alain with his Pokémons, and willing to fire a destructive missile towards a group of Gym Leaders that also includes children.
Lysandre himself also shows to be a sadistic person, where he is seen smiling while looking at the destruction of Lumiose city and the torture of Ash.

Trivia[]
- Lysandre, like Giovanni, is the boss of the organization that actually owns Pokémon; all the other ones only controlled Pokémon and have never shown to have caught one.
- Lysandre is the second person to own a Shiny Gyarados, the first being Lance.
- Alike Cyrus, Lysandre is the second villainous team leader to die onscreen. However, while Cyrus is seen vanishing into the void, Lysandre's death is certain by the words of Xerosic, and his body decomposing inside the Megalith.
