'''Greevil''' (Japanese: '''デスゴルド''' ''Deathgold'') is the leader of the criminal group [[Cipher]]. He is the only character in the game to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Grand Master''' (Japanese: '''シャドー{{tt|総帥|そうすい}}''' ''{{tt|Shadow|Cipher}} Leader'').

Under the guise of a man named [[Mr. Verich]], Greevil won the favor of the {{tc|Sailor}}s of [[Gateon Port]] by providing free food and drink every time he visited {{DL|Gateon Port|The Krabby Club}}. On one of his visits, he came across a Thug by the name of [[Zook]] who was pushing around a Trainer named [[Michael]] and his sister [[Jovi]]. After having one of his bodyguards, [[Ardos]], defeat him in battle, Verich chastised Zook for his actions and left.

At the very end of the game, Michael infiltrates Citadark Island and defeats all the Cipher members inside, including Greevil's bodyguards Ardos and [[Eldes]], then challenges Greevil himself. Greevil begins by summoning [[Shadow Lugia|XD001]], the Shadow {{p|Lugia}} created by Cipher to be the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], to destroy Michael, but he snags it. Greevil then fights Michael himself with a complete team of six Shadow Pokémon.

After Michael defeats or snags all his Pokémon, Greevil is mentally broken, unable to comprehend his defeat. Ardos tries to encourage Greevil to blow up Citadark Isle, but Eldes protests and claims that Greevil is going too far. Eventually, Greevil listens to Eldes's reasoning and agrees to accept defeat graciously, much to Ardos's anger. It is unknown what becomes of Greevil afterwards.

* Greevil is the first Trainer to battle the player with seven Pokémon; one controlled [[Legendary Pokémon]] and six [[party]] Pokémon. The second one is [[Ghetsis]] from {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.

* Four of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} used by Greevil in his rematch with [[Michael]] are used by the {{tc|Cipher Admin}}s on [[Citadark Isle]].

* Greevil uses the [[legendary birds]], of which Lugia is the trio master. Interestingly, the [[legendary beasts]] and its counterpart {{p|Ho-oh}} are also obtainable in {{g|Colosseum}}.
