As the self-proclaimed Sun God, Pyrrhon holds power over fire and is shown to be very adept in its use. Pyrrhon's main form of offense comes in the form of tossing salvos of fireballs at his opponents, or what he calls his "Pyroblasters". His strongest attack comes in the form of his "Pyro Cannon", a large column of fire he shoots from his hands. Pyrrhon is also capable of molding fire into whatever shape he desires such as waves of fire, a serpentine trail of flame he dubs the "Pyro Snake", and mines that explode upon contact with enemies or after a few second delay. Pyrrhon is also capable of regulating his body temperature as shown at the end of | As the self-proclaimed Sun God, Pyrrhon holds power over fire and is shown to be very adept in its use.

Pyrrhon is also capable of regulating his body temperature as shown at the end of Chapter 15, where he was able to safely carry Pit out of the Aurum Islands without fear of burning him. Pyrrhon is also capable of flight and teleportation. | ||
Upon merging with the Aurum Brain, Pyrrhon's powers increase exponentially.

Pyrrhon's merge now gives him control over every unit in the Aurum fleet, from the mighty battleship to the tiny foot solider. He can even amplify their strength with his fire powers. Like the other gods, Pyrrhon is capable of communicating through telepathy and can even block telepathic commands of other gods, shown when he prevents Palutena from extracting Pit during Chapter 17. Like other deities, he can also project his astral form. Though whether he had this ability before merging with the Aurum Brain is unknown. | ||

Pyrrhon makes his first appearance in the flight section of ''[[Mysterious Invaders]]'' as an ally of Pit to help defeat the [[Aurum]]. He explains to the angel and the "godlings" about the Aurum, and how these extraterrestrial beings must be stopped before they devour the entire planet. Despite his helpful knowledge about the Aurum, none of the other characters take him seriously, likely due to his over-the-top eccentric personality. After Pit annihilates the [[Aurum Core]], Pyrrhon saves the angel from the explosion caused by the Core's destruction. | Pyrrhon makes his first appearance in the flight section of ''[[Mysterious Invaders]]'' as an ally of Pit to help defeat the [[Aurum]].

''A savior from the annals of history! A comic-book hero come to life on the big screen! ...No one can tell if Pyrrhon is serious when he introduces himself. A self-proclaimed sun god, his obsession with the Aurum must be part of Pyrrhon Creed Number 851: know the baddies!'' | |||

* Pyrrhon is likely inspired by [[wikipedia:Apollo|Apollo]] or [[wikipedia:Helios|Helios]], which were both Greek gods of the sun, although his name appears to be based on [[wikipedia:Pyrrho|Pyrrho]], a Greek philosopher. It might also come from the word "pyro", which means fire. | * Pyrrhon is likely inspired by [[wikipedia:Apollo|Apollo]] or [[wikipedia:Helios|Helios]], which were both Greek gods of the sun, although his name appears to be based on [[wikipedia:Pyrrho|Pyrrho]], a Greek philosopher.

** He may also be based upon [[wikipedia:Pyrrhus of Epirus|King Pyrrhus]], due to the fact that his apparent victory on the Aurum Brain only leads to his total defeat (first from being possessed by the Aurum, and ultimately brought down by Pit). | ** He may also be based upon [[wikipedia:Pyrrhus of Epirus|King Pyrrhus]], due to the fact that his apparent victory on the Aurum Brain only leads to his total defeat (first from being possessed by the Aurum, and ultimately brought down by Pit). | ||
* There is much debate in-game about Pyrrhon's godly status. Dialogue from both Palutena and Viridi indicates that neither are sure of whether he is a god or not due to his eccentric personality and thickheadedness, and his Idol refers to him as the ''self-proclaimed'' sun god. | * There is much debate in-game about Pyrrhon's godly status.
