Cyrus

Platinum and beyond: the Distortion World

Pokémon Platinum makes plain that he wants a new world only for himself. He summons both Dialga and Palkia, is dragged into the Distortion World by Giratina, and stays there after his last battle with the player. An alternate-universe Cyrus returns in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as part of Team Rainbow Rocket.

Cyrus on cards: 2009 Supporters and a Prism Star

His first two Supporter cards, both Uncommons illustrated by Ken Sugimori, came out in 2009. Cyrus's Conspiracy (Platinum) searches the deck for a Supporter, a basic Energy and a Team Galactic's Invention Trainer. Cyrus's Initiative (Supreme Victors) flips two coins and, for each heads, sends a card from the opponent's hand to the bottom of their deck. Ultra Prism (2018) added Cyrus ◇, a Prism Star Supporter by Masakazu Fukuda that is played with a Water or Metal Pokémon active and makes the opponent keep only two Benched Pokémon, shuffling the rest into their deck.
