Quotes

Galactic Eterna Building

• Before battle

"Eh? Did you want something? How silly of me to even ask. You want to free the Pokémon. Yeah, that's gonna happen!"

• During battle (the first non-KO hit)

"How insolent. Take a bite of this, child!"

• When defeated

"Losing to some child... Being careless cost me too much."

• After being defeated

"Well, aren't you tough...? It's OK, though. Our official Pokémon-statue investigation is finished. Mars has collected energy from the Valley Windworks. We're pretty much finished here. I'll let you in on one little thing. Our boss is researching the myths of ancient Pokémon. With the power of mythical Pokémon, he will become the ruler of Sinnoh... I suggest you keep out of Team Galactic's affairs from now on. This is your last warning!"

Lake Acuity

"Oh? Are you finished already? You're Pokémon aren't bad, but you're laughably weak. You honestly thought you could save the Pokémon of the lake? And become the Pokémon Champion? Dream on, little kid. But, eww, it's so cold here. Let's go back to the Veilstone HQ."

"Oh? Don't I know? We met in Eterna City. Listen. Team Galactic is going to do something huge for everyone's sake. That's why you should keep out of Team Galactic's way. Don't come whining about poor Pokémon and other trivial junk like that. Don't waste your time coming to our HQ in Veilstone. Now if you'll excuse me."

Spear Pillar

• If talked to

"What's the matter? Don't tell me you're shaking?"

• Before battle

"And I'll be next. You might be tough, but this time, the gloves are coming off!"

"Humph! Well, if it isn't the little boy who ran off crying at Lake Acuity! Did you get any tougher since then? We'll beat you two-on-two!"

• When defeated

"Humph! You've toughened up. But you're no match for our boss."

In Pokémon Platinum

In Pokémon Platinum she and Mars quit Team Galactic because Charon has different ideals than former boss Cyrus. It is also shown that Mars and Jupiter have a mutual dislike of each other.

"...How dare you!"

"Following Mars's lead at anything irks me, but... I'm quitting to do my own thing, too. Team Galactic's just no fun without Master Cyrus around. So, old-timer, go ahead. Do what you want with Team Galactic."

"...Says you. An "ordinary girl" you're not. What should I do now? Is leaving on a journey the right idea?"

In the anime

File:Jupiter DP150.png

Jupiter in the anime

Jupiter made her debut appearance in Double Team Turnover! where she was the one to get the Lustrous Orb back from Team Rocket after they stole it from the Celestic Town Historical Research Center.

She was later assigned by Cyrus to lead the capture squad for the Lake guardians, along with some assistance from Pokémon hunters.

She also had a cameo appearance in Saving the World From Ruins!.

Jupiter's first major appearance came in Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!, where she was protecting Charon at the Fuego Ironworks while he was working on the Red Chain. She successfully captured Looker, Jessie and James and later encountered Ash and his friends for the first time. During their encounter, she noted her disgust that Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie had chosen Dawn, Ash and Brock as their protectors rather than herself, Saturn and Mars. With the help from her Skuntank, Jupiter and Charon were able to make a clean getaway.

Jupiter was present when Team Galactic's plans came to a head in The Needs of the Three! where she battled the gang again. In The Battle Finale of Legend! she was asked to guard the outside of Spear Pillar however she was quickly captured by Cynthia and was later arrested, along with Mars and Saturn.

She appeared briefly in Memories are Made of Bliss! in Team Rocket's fantasy with all the other members of Team Galactic.

Pokémon

This listing is of Jupiter's known Pokémon in the anime:

		Skuntank
		Skuntank is Jupiter's main Pokémon, appearing alongside her in Double Team Turnover!. Skuntank appears to be very loyal, remaining by Jupiter's side throughout the operation to retrieve the Lustrous Orb however it clearly also likes to sleep as it was resting while Jupiter used the Spear Key to track the orb down. Skuntank later proved instrumental in retrieving the Lustrous Orb for Team Galactic when it saved it from being destroyed when it was thrown through the air in the midst of a battle with Team Rocket, whom Skuntank then sent blasting off. Skuntank's next appearance was in Unlocking the Red Chain of Events! where it battled Pikachu and Piplup. It also appeared in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend! to help fulfill Team Galactic's plans, but was eventually knocked out by Cynthia's Garchomp. Skuntank's known moves are Slash, Toxic, Flamethrower, Iron Tail and Hyper Beam.
Debut	Double Team Turnover!

In the final battle at Spear Pillar, she is defeated and knocked unconscious by Candice and Maylene, who are happy to have avenged their previous loss.

Pokémon

		Sableye was first seen sneaking up on Candice, Maylene, and Platinum shortly after they arrived in Lake Acuity. After being spotted by Maylene, it attacks them alongside Gastrodon. Sableye is able to use its shadow to attack and when combined with Tangrowth's Flash, it is a very powerful foe (due to the light extending the reach of its shadows). Sableye's known moves are Shadow Sneak, Faint Attack, and Punishment.

Debut	VS Gastrodon

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Just like in the games, Jupiter was assigned to Lake Acuity to capture Uxie. Her Skuntank was defeated by Mitsumi while Jun looked on, however, upon orders from Cyrus, Jupiter used her Tangrowth to capture Jun and blackmail Mitsumi into returning to Galactic's headquarters with her.

Pokémon

		Golbat → Crobat
		Crobat is Jupiter's main Pokémon. It first appeared as a Golbat when it partnered up with Toxicroak in a Double Battle against Mitsumi's Infernape and Leafeon. This battle continued in Challenge!! The Fortress of Steel as Golbat was the only one left on her side as Toxicroak got taken out. During the midst of their battle after Jun's arrival. Jupiter flees on her Golbat while Saturn flees on his. Sometime before A Novel Test!!, her Golbat ended up evolving into a Crobat. In that same chapter, it battled with Mitsumi's Milotic. Jupiter decides to take advantage of the battle by mentioning about Mitsumi's past. Crobat reappeared during the Spear Pillar arc. During the first part of that arc, it battled Jun's Dragonite but the battle was stopped as Dialga's Roar of Time activated. It last appeared when Hareta and the others took on Charon. Crobat's only known move is Air Slash.

Debut	A Novel Test

Trivia

• Jupiter’s name was changed to Ceres in Spanish-language versions of the game, likely due to the fact that Jupiter is the name of a male Roman god. This also happened to Mars.
  • Because of this, she shares with Charon the somewhat dubious honor of being named for a dwarf planet (as his Spanish name is Plutón). Perhaps ironically, Jupiter is the largest of the eight planets, while Ceres is the smallest of the currently accepted five dwarf planets.
• Jupiter's Japanese voice actress, Chinami Nishimura, also voices Officer Jenny, a police officer. Coincidentally, both names start with a J, in both Japanese (romanized) and English versions. Both also appeared in Double Team Turnover!.
• Jupiter's Skuntank is underleveled in the first battle; Stunky does not evolve until level 34.
• Jupiter is the only person in the anime to have their name changed in the Israeli dub, due to the fact that Jupiter in Hebrew is called Yupiter.
