Team Galactic

Team Galactic (Japanese: ギンガ団 Galaxy Gang) is the villainous organisation in Sinnoh. Among other things, they try to entice Pokémon to do their bidding, attempt to invite the region's Pokémon professor to do research for them, steal people's Pokémon, steal Lucas/Dawn's Pokédex, and threaten Lucas/Dawn.

Unlike past criminal syndicates, the existence of Team Galactic is an openly advertised fact, even broadcasting television commercials requesting the donation of Pokémon, although their genuinely criminal operations remain covered-up. Team Galactic wants to catch the Pokémon that created the world: Dialga of time and Palkia of Space, as well as Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie so that their leader, Cyrus, can destroy the universe and rebuild it in his own image with himself as an absolute god. However, only the Commanders and Boss are aware of this plan, and the underlings think that it's simply an organization that collects rare Pokémon. Most of the Grunts joined because they were promised to be awarded rare Pokémon if they completed their assignments.

Trivia

  • Although "Team Galactic" is not incorrect, a more literal translation of the Japanese is "Galaxy Gang", possibly a reference to the Galaxy Gang in Pulseman.
  • This is the only villainous team of the main games whose leader does not express regret after being defeated or seem dissuaded from further activities.
