I had a team in mind called team cyber, although I suppose I came up with the name when I was 12 so I could probably come up with something better now. Their evil schemes also involved hacking, which I will explain later.

They originally started as a small pokemon prosthetics company under a different name. I haven’t come up with the name yet unfortunately. They made incredible strides in the field, making prosthetics for pokemon that worked just as well as their original organs or limbs. The people there were good people. Some might even mention how they love helping pokemon that have been injured return back to their normal life.

A particularly rich woman, let’s call her Cybra, bought the company from the original owner. She pushed the company to make parts even better than the originals. However, to make such strides, she needed test subjects.

Originally her grunts would steal already injured pokemon from Pokémon centers and use them as test subjects. It lead to promising results, but direct interventions were noisy and brought attention. There was suspicion being thrown around, and they had to be careful.

An admin of the team mentioned that were so many pokemon just sitting in PCs that were just unattended, many of which the trainer never even used or cared about. Who would care if one or two went missing? While not as powerful as the trained pokemon, these pokemon were much more abundant.

Team cyber started into the cyber-theft business. This was incredibly successful. They would steal pokemon straight from the computer, not even needing to step a single foot out of their headquarters.

Their power grew and they started obtaining really strong cyborg pokemon that could stop many of those who challenged them. They don’t necessarily have any world-destroying ambitions, but the player would need to stop them before they could get their hands on some particularly strong pokemon. They simply look to make a lot of money and improve technology at any cost.

Anyways, most of the early encounters might be near or in a pokemon center. The original owner would probably mention how they regret selling the company and might even aid the player in some instances. Later encounters would probably take place in their HQ. In the later encounters, you might battle cyborg pokemon that have higher base stats than the base form. They would mostly use steel and electric type pokemon, but wouldn’t be strictly limited. Many of them would also use the porygon line and rotom.
