[[‎File:Diamond one man skit.png|left|thumb|200px|Diamond's one man skit]]
Diamond is the stooge (''[[wp:Manzai|boke]]'') of the [[wp:Double act|comedy duo]], with his childhood friend {{adv|Pearl}} playing the straight man. Despite appearing seemingly dopey and slow-witted when performing his role, he is actually very perceptive. His name is often shortened to Dia, but is also called by his full name, Diamond, by Pearl when the latter is unusually serious.
Diamond is often apathetic and rarely not seen eating - even in dire situations, as was the case when he had a feast with his Pokémon while aboard a Team Galactic airship that was headed straight to their HQ. He shares these traits with his Pokémon, especially so with his Munchlax. While not fat, he is much less active and energetic when compared to {{adv|Pearl}} or {{adv|Platinum}}, as seen when Platinum mused that every morning since the trio began traveling together, Diamond would perpetually end up being the last to get up. However, he is always serious when it comes to food and is an expert at cooking [[Poffin]]s. He also displays an ability to analyze the situation at hand - when something strikes him as illogical, he will attempt to make sense out of it. Diamond has a somewhat natural instinct to judge how a Pokémon feels and can be quite observant when something arouses his interest. He is driven by emotion, thus his association with {{DL|Lake guardians (Adventures)|Mesprit}}. For his skills, he is given the title of '''"{{DL|Lake guardians (Adventures)|Mesprit|Empathizer}}"''' ({{tt|感じる者|かんじるもの}} ''Empathizer'').
Diamond has a large amount of respect for Pearl and despite the latter's tendency to berate him aggressively, the two are as close as brothers. Diamond also has a not-so-small [[CommonerShipping|crush]] on {{adv|Platinum}}, which he developed when they first met.
Diamond has changed a lot from the beginning of his journey with Pearl and Platinum. He was convinced by Pearl after the incident at [[Veilstone City]] to set aside their dream of becoming great comedians to protect {{adv|Platinum}} until she finishes her journey. On [[Iron Island]], he also received training from [[Riley]] in order to further his battling skills, which were lacking when compared to {{adv|Pearl}}'s and {{adv|Platinum}}'s.

Diamond and his Mom fought off Mars and Diamond went airborne on {{p|Drifblim}}. However, after {{DL|Lake guardians (Adventures)|Mesprit}} was awakened, he managed to sneak onto the Team Galactic Air Shuttle and found himself back in Veilstone City. There, he infiltrated the headquarters of Team Galactic by disguising himself as a Galactic Grunt and fought the mysterious Cloaked Grunt. He later was forced to sacrifice his Pokédex in order to free Mesprit but was reunited with Pearl and Platinum soon after.

The newly reunited trio then regrouped with Cynthia and headed to the [[Spear Pillar]], where Diamond and Pearl split up with Platinum and Cynthia and time and space begins to distort. The two boys begin to fight {{adv|Dialga}} and {{adv|Palkia}} but are quickly stopped by the two dragons' abilities to manipulate the fabric of reality. After Cyrus ambushes them, a giant hole appears in the sky that starts sucking everyone on the Spear Pillar into it. Diamond attempts to dive into the hole and close it from the inside to save everyone; before he can do it, he is saved by a {{p|Regigigas}}.

Regigigas and Diamond decide to team up to battle Dialga and Palkia, successfully preventing them from moving and causing any more destruction. Cyrus quickly knocks Diamond off Regigigas and questions how a boy who knows nothing of Time and Space could understand why he's trying to create a new world. Diamond then shows that he does, in fact, understand what Cyrus meant and verbally states what he believes Time and Space is. Diamond's words cause an imbalance in the control that Cyrus has over Dialga and Palkia and he hastily attempts to try to regain control, hitting Diamond with the [[Red Chain]] in the process. Platinum realizes that with only one Red Chain, controlling Dialga and Palkia will be almost impossible and at certain times, the power controlling one dragon will shift into another's favor, and she commands Diamond and Pearl attack the two dragons. The attack manages to successfully break the Red Chain and the two Dragon-type Pokémon from Cyrus's control. Dialga and Palkia then use their powers to distort Cyrus in a sphere of light and he falls to the ground unconscious.

They all celebrate their victory and decide to go home while taking their friends and Cyrus to the hospital. As they leave, Diamond notices someone watching them and the Canalave Gym Leader, Byron, emerges from the ground and takes the machine he was holding. However, this causes the hole in the sky that was created by Dialga and Palkia's fighting to have {{adv|Giratina|mysterious black tentacles}} to shoot out and grab Cyrus, Dialga, and Palkia, who are all dragged into it. The old man introduces himself as [[Charon]] and makes an attempt to escape, but Diamond's Kit grabs a small notebook while he runs away.
