Zinzolin - Pokémon Generations (2016)

Appointed by Ghetsis as one of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma, Zinzolin believed in the organisation's goal to unite Unova under the rulership of N: an unknowing puppet monarch to his adopted father. He lived by the philosophy that there could only be one sovereignty on Earth, just as there could only be one sun in the sky.

Joining the other admins at N's Castle, he watched as Plasma Grunts battled against the Unova Gym Leaders.

Despite the fall of the original Team Plasma two years earlier, Zinzolin continued to work for Ghetsis to form a brand-new version of the organisation, acting as the public leader alongside the scientist Colress.

Sent to Opelucid City to steal the DNA Splicers, he gleefully commanded a full-scale attack from the rooftops. Spotting Drayden fighting below, he sent his Cryogonal and Weavile into battle.

Impressed by the pair's resilience, he ordered Corlass to fire the Kyurem Cannon on the populace. Laughing at the weapon's results, he expressed his joy at feeling the cold, musing that it made him feel alive.

Cornering Drayden, Zinzolin demanded that the gym leader surrender the Splicers, threatening to freeze the rest of the town if he did not comply with Team Plasma's demands. Defeating Drayden, he claimed the devices for himself, leaving the man to freeze in the ruins of the frosted wasteland.

DNA Splicers - Pokémon Generations (2016)

A device that could merge the genetic material of compatible Pokémon, the DNA Splicers were in the possession of the Opelucid City Gym Leader Drayden.

Sort after by the second incarnation of Team Plasma, the machine was stolen by a strike team lead by Zinzolin.

Handing the Splicers over to Ghetsis, they were used to fuse N's Reshiram with Kyurem when the young trainer confronted his adopted father at the Giant Chasm, resulting in the rise of White Kyurem.
