Eldes (Japanese: エルデス Eldes) is one of the five Cipher Admins of Pokémon XD. Eldes is seen early on in the game, but the protagonist doesn't fight Eldes until near the end of the main storyline.

As well as being a Cipher Admin, Eldes serves as one of Greevil's two bodyguards, the other being Ardos. At the end of the game, it is revealed that Eldes is one of Greevil's two sons. Eldes eventually stops Greevil and Ardos from blowing up their base, as he realizes that would be immoral to the countless people and Pokémon who would be killed in the process.

Michael first battles against him in Citadark Isle, where he uses a total of four Shadow Pokémon. After Greevil has been defeated, the player can challenge Eldes on the last round of the Orre Colosseum.

Eldes is not as evil as the other Cipher Admins. He questions Cipher's motives throughout the game. He also shows regret that when he first battles Michael, he is battling him as an enemy and not in the traditional way, to decide who the better Trainer is.

In Orre Colesseum, Eldes favors using Earthquake alongside Pokémon that resist it.

Among Eldes' Shadow Pokémon are Marowak, Lapras, Manectric, and Salamence.
