* Before battle

:''"The mission is proceeding without a hitch. The boss should be pleased. Everything is for everyone, and for the good of Team Galactic!"''

:''"Gah! Even I, a Commander, only managed to buy us time? But that's fine. A child like you will never be able to stem the flow of time! Team Galactic will get the three legendary Pokémon of the lakes! With their power, we will create an entirely new universe! By now, Mars should have captured the Pokémon of Lake Verity..."''

:(to Charon)

:''"What are you trying to say?"''  

* After the Spear Pillar events

:''"So, it's you... I've heard about you and what took place at the Spear Pillar. Our leader, Master Cyrus, hated the very idea of spirit. He hated spirit for being incomplete. And yet, using fiery exhortations, he rallied the spirit of others. What he hated most, he used to control others. Isn't that ironic? That fascinated me. I wanted to see what he would do. And I did. At his side. But it's over. A world without spirit... Who would want such a thing?! So, what now...? What to do with Team Galactic? But I've learned that extremism is never the solution... Perhaps we should really be searching for new sources of energy. Instead of lying about it through our commercials."''

==In the anime==

Saturn made his first appearance at the ending of ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', though it was a brief appearance at the end of the episode. He, along with the other Team Galactic Grunts, commented that [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} did a lousy job at stealing the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}} for them, and framing [[Nando]] for the crime.  

Saturn appeared again in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', with the cube he obtained in [[Solaceon Ruins]], which he exposed to the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]], transforming it into the [[Spear Key]]. Later, he and a few Galactic Grunts went to go steal the meteorites, but ended up meeting {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} for the first time. He also battles {{an|Brock}} and his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} with his own {{TP|Saturn|Toxicroak}}, but it ends in a draw, as Team Galactic retreats and fails their mission.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===

[[File:Mars Saturn Adventures.png|right|250px|thumb|Saturn and his Croagunk with Mars and her Purugly in the Pokémon Adventures manga]]

He eventually tracks them at the [[Lost Tower]] and challenges Paka and Uji to a battle with his {{p|Croagunk}} and {{p|Abra}}. Despite the power his Pokémon possess, they are both defeated by Paka and Uji's skills. Angered by his loss, Saturn throws a temper tantrum and has the grunts seal [[Sinnoh Route 210|Route 210]] which will force them to stop at Veilstone, where their base is located. He is approached by Mars and after a brief argument about her stepping into his room without permission; she transfers energy to the Galactic Bomb.

He is later seen at Veilstone where he sets his revenge plan into action which he starts by having the grunts attack Paka and Uji in the darkness of night. After waiting a long time for Paka and Uji to be defeated by the grunts; Saturn’s patience wears thin and he pulls out a mysterious machine to use on them. When the grunts finally lure them into firing range Saturn activates the machine; it fires a beam at Paka and Uji which sends them into an unknown dimension where they will stay for all eternity. Having become bored now that he has won; Saturn decides to play video games until [[Cyrus]] enters the room and punishes him for using the machine without permission by pinching his arm.

Once the lake is blown up Saturn commands the Galactic Grunts to begin the capturing of Azelf. Despite the skills Azelf possesses and Pearl's determination, Saturn eventually ends up the victor and defeats Pearl with a {{m|Gunk Shot}} from his {{p|Octillery}} and successfully captures Azelf. He later arrives at the Team Galactic HQ along with his fellow Commanders Mars and Jupiter where they listen to a speech given by Cyrus; Saturn is seen clapping after he finishes.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]===

Just like in the games, Saturn was assigned to [[Lake Valor]] to capture {{p|Azelf}}. At the lake, Hareta and Saturn battled; Saturn initially had the upper hand using his {{p|Gallade}} but Hareta was able to turn the tide. After both his Gallade and {{p|Rhyperior}} were defeated, Saturn was fired from Team Galactic by Cyrus, but earned a second chance by using a [[Revive]] on Rhyperior so Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}} would not lose to Hareta.

==Trivia==

* Saturn is the only [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Commander}} whose Spanish name wasn't changed to correspond to a different planet; [[Jupiter]]'s and [[Mars]]'s names were changed to correspond to planets with names of Roman goddesses ({{wp|Ceres (dwarf planet)|Ceres}} and {{wp|Venus}}, respectively).

** However, Ceres is a {{wp|dwarf planet}}, like Pluto (from which [[Charon]]'s Japanese name was taken).

* Saturn is the Commander the player will battle the least in {{v2|Platinum}}, aside from [[Charon]], who doesn't battle the player at any point in the game.
