'''Sidian''' (Japanese: '''オニキス''' '' Onyx'') is one of the admins of the [[Explorers]], and a recurring major antagonist in ''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''.

Sidian first appeared as a hologram in ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', alongside the other [[Explorers]]'s admins. The first time he spoke and was seen clearly was in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', judging [[Spinel]] over his last failure.

In [[HZ043]], Sidian and Coral arrived in a seaside town in [[Paldea]]. Coral had led him there under the guise of finding something important, which was actually some rare Sea Digdaman. However, upon finding out they had sold out and that Liko and Roy had managed to get a box without even lining up, she left them a challenge letter on the back of [[Roy's Fuecoco]]. While Coral faced Roy, Sidian stepped in to take Liko on. Despite the rough start, the young Rising Volt Tacklers refused to give up and eventually broke through their foes' strategies. Impressed, the two Explorers decided to stop holding back, but were forced to withdraw after Sidian received a call to take part in mission involving the Black Rayquaza.

Sidian overall appears to have a serious and stoic personality, hardly showing strong emotions at times, although he can still get frustrated or irritated when insulted by others, such as his fellow admin Coral. He usually obeys the orders of his superiors such as Hamber without much issues. Like Coral, Sidian can at times be less disciplined and more aggressive than his fellow admins. Sidian has a ruthless and combative disposition when operating, as seen during the siege on Diana's castle where he not only disobeyed orders to standby, but also indiscriminately commanded his Garganacl to attack and take out every Pokémon in his path by having them inflicted with Salt Cure. Nonetheless Sidian has his own personal limits and considers even Coral's volatile actions to be reckless. Sidian is notably level-headed and calm, and because of this he often stays around Coral to keep her volatile behavior in check. In line with his level-headedness, he appears to be surprisingly honorable, as shown in [[HZ043]], politely asking Liko to be his opponent and to fight with honor, without the use of dirty or underhanded tactics.
