The Torren region has always been home to various cults that usually worship Legendary Pokémon. They are infamous for being extremely violent in accomplishing their goals, killing countless innocents. The First Augur used his power to destroy several cults during his reign, but since his disappearance, there are 5 main cults that are currently operating now.
List of Cults
Cult of Darkrai
The Cult of Darkrai are the first cult you encounter in the main story. Both male and female cultists wear the the same uniforms: simple black robes adorned with large, red collars, and gray hoods mimicking the design of Darkrai. While most of their members only worship, their leader, Persephone, desires not only to encounter it, but convince it to join her and disavow any loyalty to her, Diana; she is willing to do whatever it takes, even is it means sacrificing her own cultists, to do so. The members of the Cult of Darkrai use Dusk Balls.
Later on, a faction Darkrai cultists fall victim to to the infectious powers of Malde. Being infused with Deoxys cells, the unused battles sprite show these cultists a glowing red left eye as well as orange and green tentacles protruding from the robes.
Their logo is a gray and red gear decorated with the silhouette of Ken Sugimori's Darkrai artwork.

Infernal Cult

Trivia
- There seems to be a few scrapped concepts with the infected Darkrai cultists. In their battle sprites, the cultists are levitating and are using Poké Balls. However, in the final version, the overworld sprites are grounded with orange and green legs.
