[[Team Flare]] appears to own multiple facilities, such as the [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]] and [[Team Flare Secret HQ|a secret underground headquarters]] in [[Geosenge Town]]. Many grunts initially claim that they want to make the world fashionable, but they raid multiple areas such as the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and the [[Poké Ball Factory]] for their true goals, which are to destroy everyone except Team Flare. They unleash the [[ultimate weapon]] created by [[AZ]] 3,000 years ago, and also capture {{p|Xerneas}} or {{p|Yveltal}} to power up the weapon, only for the player character to capture them and defeat [[Lysandre]], leading to the team's downfall. | [[Team Flare]] appears to own multiple facilities, such as the [[Lysandre Labs]] in [[Lumiose City]] and [[Team Flare Secret HQ|a secret underground headquarters]] in [[Geosenge Town]].

[[Team Skull]] is similar to the Kanto Team Rocket, in that they steal Pokémon for profit. However, they operate on a much more local scale than Team Rocket, and unlike Team Rocket's mafia style operation, they are more similar to street gangs. They require assistance from the [[Aether Foundation]] in order to stay functional, and their leader [[Guzma]] responds directly to [[Lusamine]]. Team Skull eventually disbands after Guzma is rescued and reforms. | |||
The [[Aether Foundation]] appears to be a Pokémon conservation facility that keeps Pokémon targeted by Team Skull, and most seem to be unaware of their president's true intentions, and a few members such as [[Wicke]] and some employees even assist the player. Lusamine's true goals are to live in a world of just herself and the [[Ultra Beasts]]. It is heavily implied that this is due to [[Nihilego]]'s neurotoxin, which it releases for self-defense. After the Motherbeast (a fusion of Lusamine and Nihilego) is defeated in Ultra Space, the Foundation reforms and continues with conserving Pokémon. | |||
