Ein is the brains behind the process that creates Shadow Pokémon. His research reports, the "Ein Files", can be found across Orre wherever members of Cipher have been present. He creates Shadow Pokémon in a secluded lab in the middle of a desert, and then has the Pokémon shipped to Venus and Miror B. via The Under Subway. He also does everything in his power to keep the Shadow Pokémon he creates from being purified. He tries to have Rui kidnapped, the Relic Stone destroyed, and the Time Flute stolen. Ultimately all these plans are foiled by the player.
Eventually the player confronts Ein at the Shadow PKMN Lab. Despite him possessing a Shadow version of the Legendary Pokémon Raikou, Ein is still defeated. Even in defeat, Ein takes solace in that he has already created the ultimate Shadow Pokémon, and had it transported to his boss.
Ein appears again at the Realgam Tower. The mad scientist had one of the ID Badges to the tower's main entrance. After being defeated again, Ein hands over the Ylw ID Badge and promptly leaves the tower.
After Cipher has been defeated, Ein appears at the Deep Colosseum, being the final opponent of the fourth round.

- "Waah! How did you get in without my notice? …Ah, I see. You must be the much-talked-about <player>. Little did I expect to see you here. I am Ein. I am in charge of this Shadow Pokémon Lab. No one must be allowed to interfere with our Shadow Pokémon plan. I won't allow it. Let me acquaint you with the power of my Shadow Pokémon!"
