Team Flare (Japanese: フレア団 Flare-dan, literally Flare Gang) is a villainous team in the Kalos region.

In the games

Team Flare appears in X and Y. Their goal is to make money and create a "beautiful and better" world.

They are first encountered in Glittering Cave, where they attempt to steal the fossils of the researcher working there but are stopped by the player.

They next appear in a scene in Route 10, examining the mysterious rock formation. The player is spotted by one grunt who wants revenge for their plans having been ruined in Glittering Cave. Once defeated, they are next spotted in Geosenge Town, where they are examining the rock formations there.

In Route 13, they are found ciphering electricity from the Kalos Power Plant and blocking the entrance to Lumiose City as well as causing a black-out across the city, preventing the player from accessing the fifth gym. They are defeated once more here by the player.

At Laverre City, Grunts block the player from entering Route 15 and the Poké Ball Factory until the player has the Fairy Badge, at which point Shauna tricks the Grunt guarding the Poké Ball Factory away from his post so the player can enter. Though the player defeats them, the Team Flare scientists are able to steal the many Poké Balls they wanted.

Team Flare is next spotted in Frost Cavern antagonizing a Abomasnow as well as up setting a wild Mamoswine that the player requires in order to get across the snow-blocked roads of Route 17.

They do not appear again until the player has received their seventh badge from the Anistar City gym, where Team Flare's leader, Lysandre, sends out a live broadcast to all trainers via the holo caster. In this broadcast, Lysandre states that Team Flare plans on wiping out all life on earth by using the "ultimate weapon", a machine that was built by the king of Kalos 3,000 years ago and had exterminated all life in Kalos for many years. Lysandre's plan is to use the legendary Pokémon of Kalos (Xerneas in version X, Yveltal in version Y) to activate the machine in Lysandre Labs in Lumiose City. After the player arrives, they watch as the weapon emerges from the ground of Geosenge Town. Lysandre is eventually forced to cease operation once the player defeats him and is chosen by the legendary Pokemon to save Kalos. Lysandre uses what remains of the legendary Pokemon's Power in the machine to destroy it and crush himself as well. Once Lysandre is crushed by the weapon, Team Flare is disbanded.
