Giovanni and Guzma are fairly sane . Their evil plans don ' t run very far beyond Get Pokemon , Sell , Make Money . Giovanni beats Guzma out simply for continuing to employ Jessie and James . Archie and Maxie get a good deal less insane in the remakes . In RSE , They have little to no reason to do what they do , and while they do realise that they fucked up , they should have seen it coming . ORAS versions have motives , Expand the sea for Pokemon or Expand the land for Humans , but don ' t rank much better otherwise . Cyrus is a nutcase . DP Remakes might give hm something better like Maxie and Archie , but until then he ' s right at the top . N is perfectly sane , though he was being manipulated by Ghetsis . Ghetsis has a good plan and knows how to do it , so he ' s got to be more sane than others . That said , he does go a bit off the deep end in BW 2 . Lysandre is one of the crazier ones . He wanted to kill everyone . He ' s not so bad a Cyrus though , Destroying the world is still a crucial step below destroying the universe . She ' s allegedly being mind controlled by Nihilego ' s Venom , which makes the victim obsessed with Ultra Beasts . # s Lusamine is batshit insane , although there ' s an explanation for it . Without taking that into account , she ' s definately high up though .
