Inofficial-official continuation of my older pokevillains post.
I will yet again push my personal pokevillains agenda and spam u with my headcanons.
Also reminder that villains are different ages here- for example Ghetsis is around 30-40 here while Cyrus is 18-22.
Archie
- was a grunt for Team Rocket back in the day and worked under Giovanni’s leadership
- was very popular among his peers for his open and friendly nature
- secretly dated Maxie
- only initially joined Team Rocket for a quick buck and never agreed with their philosophy
- secretly released pokémon from time to time
Maxie
- was a low level researcher/scientist and also worked under Giovanni’s leadership
- had a deep hatred for Archer ( gay-gay violence)
- lived off of caffeine and instant noodles
- assigned Archie to his own projects so they can spend time together
Ghetsis
- was a history professor in Unova
- is of royal descent (not my own hc but german pokewiki claims this for some reason and i’m not gonna question it)
- being closeted af and having a severe lack of bitches makes him unbearable to be around
- always wears long clothing and gloves because of his several injuries inflicted by his (mistreated) Hydreigon
Giovanni
- since his mother is still the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni is living his life to the fullest
- this fucker is spoiled rotten and has an ego the size of mars, beware
- went on a 6-month vacation/visit to Alola and dated Nanu there
- he dont know much much a bag of milk costs sm
Cyrus
- he moved out from his parents place the second he had enough cash saved up
- goes to university and studies Computer Science/ or Physics and Mathematics
- aces all his classes so he has a lot of spare time to focus on his special interest in Sinnoh Legends
- only leaves his apartment for grocery shopping or mandatory classes

This is one of my favourite details from Pokemon Gen V:
On the left, Ghetsis' Hydreigon from Black and White.
In the middle, Ghetsis' Hydreigon from Black 2 and White 2.
On the right, Iris' Hydreigon from Black 2 and White 2.
(Specifically, that's the Challenge Mode one- in Easy and Normal mode, it knows Charge Beam and doesn't have the Wise Glasses, and in the rematches it has this set and the only difference between Easy/Normal and Challenge mode is the levels and whether it has the Wise Glasses or not)
Ghetsis' Hydreigon in the first game is a Special Attacker, at Lv.54. We also know it has a Speed-raising nature, in case it wasn't scary enough already. Most likely Timid. It has pretty much perfect coverage.
And then, his Hydreigon in the second game is... different. It's a lower level, weighing in at Lv.52 (though it does go up to Lv.56 in Challenge Mode, for what it's worth), and it's now a Physical Attacker. It's carrying a Life Orb, so it damages itself every time it attacks in exchange for higher power, and whether Ghetsis has actively given it this item on purpose, or the item isn't canonically there and it's just meant to simulate Hydreigon having a Bad Time, it nonetheless sends a message. Its moves are the powerful but very inaccurate Dragon Rush, the fairly strong but also inaccurate Rock Slide, Crunch (which isn't really relevant here), and Frustration, the move that gets more powerful the more the user hates its trainer. It all adds up to create the image of a Pokemon that attacks in a frenzy, frequently missing its moves and harming itself when they do connect, and loathing its trainer so much that it can channel that into a 102-power move.
And then, after you finally beat Ghetsis and he goes catatonic after being twice humbled by a teenager with a hat, and you make your way up Victory Road, and beat the Elite Four, you meet Iris. And the first thing she sends out is a Hydreigon with the exact same moveset as Ghetsis' one from the first game (if you're playing Challenge Mode or rematching her).
We know that Ghetsis was arrested at the end of Black and White's main story, and he only escaped because the Shadow Triad came to break him out. And Alder and Cheren would've had to be pretty dense to let him keep his Poke Balls on him. So I think it's highly likely that Ghetsis lost his original Hydreigon at the end of the first game, and it was given to Iris to take care of. Ghetsis got a new one between games and this one just fucking hates his guts. He treats it badly, and it hates him in return.
Hopefully this one will be looked after properly now that Ghetsis is completely nuts and unresponsive.

Reference for my OC Ghetsis from my Pokémon AU Perfect Heroes on which I'm working on terribly slow. It's been years since I made any kind of reference for him and it took me some time to finish this one because I really wanted to nail his outfit (plus my files nuked themselves last year). This shows him in the midst of my AU's story, some years after B2W2 end. There are no significant signs of aging because it may be that the Dragon Heroes are semi-immortal. It's just fun like that.
AU Kyurem will be next :)
Under the cut is the reference divided in 2 parts because it's a huge file.
