Bianco (left) and Nero (right), two Team Plasma grunts

(Japanese: ネーロ Nero) and (Japanese: ビアンコ Bianco) are characters of the day in the Pokémon anime who appeared in Saving Braviary. They are two Team Plasma Grunts who serve as the main antagonists in the episode.

The duo was assigned a mission to capture a Braviary. N shows up to rescue the Braviary. However, a tracking chip in the Pokémon triggered their alarm and Nero and Bianco give chase to N. N narrowly made it to the Pokémon Center before the duo retrieved the injured Pokémon. When the Pokémon Center closed down, Nero and Bianco break in the Pokémon Center to get Braviary but he already left with the help of N, Ash and his friends.

Nero and Bianco hid in some bushes, waiting for the right moment to strike. As soon as N came by with Braviary, the duo sent out Seviper and Zangoose. They attack N, leaving him injured. Ash, Iris and Cilan come by and battle the duo. Nero and Bianco were tough but were beaten by Excadrill, Pikachu and Braviary.
