YMMV / The Stardom Series

• Complete Monster: Ardos is the Grand Master of Reverse Cipher. Having been contacted by Giovanni to form a partnership, Ardos uses Team Rocket as a means to perfect a new form of Pokerus, called the XDrus, which should not only "shut the door to a Pokémon's heart" but also increase their fighting capabilities. Ardos also uses the new "Ankoku" variant to infect Giratina with the intention of making it the ultimate killing machine that cannot be purified. Ardos has Giratina combined with Rayquaza's life force to create Shadow Giratina, then unleashes it on Sinnoh Island, destroying half of it and terrorizing the population as a show of force. Ardos then betrays Giovanni and nearly kills him. Ardos intends to use Shadow Giratina to infect the remaining regions' wild Pokémon with Shadow Pokerus, to stomp out all resistance. Ardos' ultimate goal is to have Dialga and Palkia infected with Ankoku-ShadowPokérus and spread the virus throughout the world, to take it over.
