Cipher

Cipher was an organization that centered around the creation and use of Shadow Pokémon. After the events of Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness, they clashed multiple times with Team Prism before finally being disbanded.

Function
Cipher sought to gain power through the creation and use of Shadow Pokémon. Shadow Pokémon were created by forcefully closing the "door to their hearts", and gained the ability to use exclusive Shadow moves that were super-effective against all non-Shadow Pokémon.

History
After the events of XD and Colosseum, a small portion of Cipher remained hidden and active. They first collided with Team Prism due to capturing and shadowing their Admin Merci, an Absol of unusual strength. This would happen twice, both ending in notable Cipher deaths.

The first arc saw Merci become a Shadow Pokémon, and ended in Ein's death.

The second arc resulted in the deaths of Evice, Nascour, and Greevil. Nascour's soul was temporarily bound to Admin Merci's body before he passed away.

Since then, Cipher has faded away.
