Tobias first appeared in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', where he was shadowed. {{an|Barry}} passed him in a hallway and was scared by the way he came off. In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', while Ash and Barry were looking up information about their next league opponents, [[Conway]] told them that Tobias managed to easily obtain his eight gym badges and advance through the first two rounds of the Lily of the Valley Conference using just his {{p|Darkrai}}. Barry was amazed by his shadowy and mysterious presence.  

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', he battled against Ash in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference. Although he was able to gain an early lead with his Darkrai, [[Ash's Sceptile]] managed to overcome Darkrai's attacks and defeat it. Tobias then called out his Latios, who managed to defeat the remainder of Ash's team (while fainting itself), winning the match for Tobias.  

Later, Tobias defeated his final round opponent with just his {{p|Darkrai}} thus winning the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

|desc={{p|Darkrai}} is Tobias's main Pokémon. Using Darkrai, Tobias easily won eight badges in [[Sinnoh]] and quickly advanced through the first four rounds of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Tobias's Darkrai was first seen in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', defeating a Trainer's {{p|Machamp}} despite the type-disadvantage.

 

In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', it faced {{Ash}} and his Pokémon in the semifinals of the tournament. At the beginning of the battle, Darkrai faced [[Ash's Heracross]], but withstood its {{m|Megahorn}} attack and incapacitated it with a combination of {{m|Dark Void}} and {{m|Dream Eater}}. After this, Darkrai subdued [[Ash's Torkoal]] with only a {{m|Dark Pulse}}, and defeated his {{AP|Gible}} with the same move after resisting a {{m|Rock Smash}} and dodging a {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Though it was able to put [[Ash's Sceptile]] to sleep with another Dark Void, and after being hit with {{m|Dream Eater}}, it later awakened and defeated Darkrai with two hits of {{m|Leaf Blade}}.

 

Darkrai's known moves are {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Dark Void}}, {{m|Dream Eater}} and {{m|Dark Pulse}}.}}

|desc={{p|Latios}} was the second Pokémon that Tobias used in his battle against Ash.

Latios appeared in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', where it was sent out after [[Ash's Sceptile]] had defeated Darkrai. Latios was able to overpower Sceptile with a single {{m|Giga Impact}}, and won against an aerial battle with {{AP|Swellow}} which ended with a powerful {{m|Luster Purge}}. [[Ash's Pikachu]], however, was able to either endure or evade some attacks from Latios, and ended up on Latios's back where he dealt multiple {{m|Thunderbolt}} attacks. Despite this, Latios used {{m|Light Screen}} to reduce the power of the attacks, and managed to shake Pikachu off afterwards. At the end of the battle, Latios launched another Luster Purge while Pikachu countered with a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, culminating in a huge explosion, knocking out both Pokémon and ending in a draw. However, as this left Ash with no Pokémon remaining, Tobias was declared the victor and continued to the final round.

Latios's known moves are {{m|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Luster Purge}} and {{m|Light Screen}}.}}

* He is the first character in the anime to participate in a [[Pokémon League]] using [[legendary Pokémon]], although another Trainer did attempt to enter the League with his {{p|Heatran}}. It is unknown whether he actually participated though or how far he made it in the league.

| May be named after Takuto Itagaki (板垣拓斗), Champion of the Senior Division of the [[2009 World Championships]].

|May be taken from {{wp|Tobias}}, a hero of the {{wp|Book of Tobit}}, who drove away a demon with the help of the archangel {{wp|Raphael (archangel)|Raphael}}. This can be related to the fact that Tobias was able to beat all the gyms and advance through the tournament with the help of his Darkrai.
