Their ultimate goal is to take over the world by using [[Shadow Pokémon]], Pokémon who have had their emotions removed, turning them into soulless fighting machines. Unlike other villain groups, they regularly use physical force on humans, leaving them injured on the ground. They have been known to take hostages, and will command their Shadow Pokémon to attack people with full force. | |||

With their Shadow Pokémon scheme nearing completion, despite Wes' [[snagging]] of the Shadow Pokémon he had encountered, Cipher opens the newly completed [[Realgam Tower]] in the middle of the Orre desert, hoping to use its colosseum as a moneymaking venture where spectators could witness brutal battles between Pokémon who were fighting for their lives. Near the top of Realgam Tower, [[Team Snagem]]'s boss [[Gonzap]] unexpectedly arrives, and reveals a key truth behind the conspiracy: Team Snagem would steal Pokémon from Trainers, while Cipher would corrupt them and turn them into Shadow Pokémon. Cipher was the original developer of the [[Snag Machine]] stolen from Team Snagem by Wes. After defeating Gonzap, Wes enters the Tower's Colosseum and does battle with a gauntlet of Cipher agents at Nascour's behest, before finally facing off with the Cipher leader. Nascour falls in battle only for [[Es Cade]] to arrive and reveal his true identity as [[Evice]], the real Cipher Head. Evice attempts to escape in a helicopter after being defeated by Wes, only for {{p|Ho-Oh}} to intervene and destroy the craft with {{m|Sacred Fire}}, bringing an end to Cipher's scheme. | With their Shadow Pokémon scheme nearing completion, despite Wes' [[snagging]] of the Shadow Pokémon he had encountered, Cipher opens the newly completed [[Realgam Tower]] in the middle of the Orre desert, hoping to use its colosseum as a moneymaking venture where spectators could witness brutal battles between Pokémon who were fighting for their lives.

Gonzap also returns to the [[Snagem Hideout]], where Wes defeats him again and prevents him from reorganizing Team Snagem. Once all the Shadow Pokémon are Snagged, including the Shadow {{p|Shuckle}} held by [[Agnol]] in the [[Deep Colosseum]], a Cipher Peon named [[Fein]] begins impersonating Wes, attacking citizens throughout Orre with his Shadow {{p|Togetic}}. With Togetic's capture, Cipher's plans come to a complete end. | ||

Both of them have an undercover boss playing a major role in the region ([[Blake Hall]] as President of Altru and [[Es Cade]] as Mayor of Phenac City), both build a tower as part of their plans ([[Altru Tower]] and [[Realgam Tower]]), and make Pokémon effectively become mind-controlled slaves ([[Gigaremo units]] and [[Shadow Pokémon]]). Also, they are final bosses of their respective games, and can be re-battled at will. | ||
