Pick a pile: Which Pokémon villain team would you be on?
Pile 1: The fool. Knigth of pentacles and the hermit.
Team Galactic isn't after money or political power; their goal is to reset the universe to create a new one without emotions or pain.
Your Role on the Team: Research Commander
You're not the recruit fighting on the routes. You're the one in the lab or the ancient ruins figuring out how to summon Dialga or Palkia. Your "evil" is intellectual; you believe the world is "broken" and that the most logical thing to do is reset it.
You would be a villain by intellectual conviction. You believe that people are chaotic and that absolute order is the only salvation. You don't seek to cause harm, you seek to "cleanse" the system.
Pile 2: King of wands, The chariot and the page of pentacles.
Team Flare seeks beauty and the survival of the "chosen ones" through technology and economic power. They don't hide; they flaunt it.
Your Role on the Team: Elite Scientist / Head of Logistics
You're the one who keeps the machine running. While the King of Wands gives the speeches, you manage the Page of Pentacles (the technological resources) so the Chariot (the plan) never stops. You're the practical mind behind the group's grand aesthetic vision.
You would be a villain by status and excellence. You believe the world is mediocre and that only those with the necessary will and talent deserve to inherit the future. Your evil is selective and elitist.
Pile 3: 10 of wands, 9 of pentacles and The high Priestess.
The Æther Foundation presents itself to the world as a Pokémon conservation and care organization in the artificial paradise of Alola, but behind that beauty hides a dangerous obsession with Ultra Beasts.
Your Role on the Team: Keeper of the Secret Laboratories
You maintain order on the surface but are intimately familiar with the secrets of the lower levels. Your work is exhausting because you must ensure nothing escapes, but you do it out of absolute loyalty to the leader's vision.
You would be a villain out of perfectionism and a desire for protection. You believe that only you and your group are capable of caring for what is "beautiful" and that the rest of the world is too crude to understand. Your evil stems from a desire for absolute control under a veneer of sanctity.
