Ardos: Difference between revisions

'''Ardos''' (Japanese: '''アルドス''' ''Ardos'') is one of the five [[Cipher]] {{tc|Cipher Admin|Admins}} from {{Pokémon XD}}. Ardos is one of Grand Master [[Greevil]]'s two bodyguards, and is revealed at the end of the game to also be one of Greevil's sons (the other bodyguard/son being his twin brother [[Eldes]]). The first time he is encountered, he has the [[Trainer class]] {{tc|Mystery Man}}. He was the only character to be given this class until [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]], when [[Eusine|Eusine's]] class was changed from Mysticalman to this.

Ardos saves the [[Michael|main character's]] [[Jovi|sister]] from [[Zook]] at the beginning of the game in [[Gateon Port]], when he, [[Greevil]] and [[Eldes]] pass by to see him attacking the main character. In [[Citadark Isle]], he reveals that he only saved the player so that the [[Shadow Pokémon]] plan wouldn't be exposed to the world. He battled Michael on the Isle, but lost. After Greevil's defeat, he tries to convince his father to blow up the island and flee it; however, Eldes, to Ardos's dismay, convinces his father to simply turn themselves in.

Ardos is extremely loyal to his father, even telling Eldes that he shall be referred to as the "Grand Master". Ardos somehow ends up avoiding arrest following his father's defeat, and can battled in the sixth round of the [[Orre Colosseum]]. He explains to Michael that he fully intends to revive Cipher, and after that, he will declare Michael as Cipher's biggest enemy and having Cipher constantly watch him.

In battle, Ardos generally uses fast Pokémon that know strong attacks (i.e. [[Hydro Pump]], [[Double-Edge]] and [[Megahorn]]) to quickly counter his opponent. He also is the first trainer to use the extremely powerful [[Shadow End]].
