====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''====

Saturn's first speaking appearance was in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', along with his {{p|Bronzor}}. He managed to steal a cube that was under the guard of the {{p|Unown}} of the [[Solaceon Ruins]] and brought it with him back to the [[Team Galactic HQ]].

In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', Saturn stole the [[Adamant Orb]] while it was being transported to the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]] from Eterna City. He also aided in stealing the [[Lustrous Orb]] from the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]] but was admonished by Cyrus after the completion of the mission for displaying ineptitude.

In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', Saturn kept {{Gary}} at bay while [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] successfully captured the three {{an|lake guardians}} at [[Lake Valor]]. He later returned to [[Team Galactic HQ]].

He appeared briefly in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' in {{TRT}}'s fantasy with all the other members of Team Galactic.

====History====

Saturn's role in [[Team Galactic]] is to raise funds for their projects and he has the permission of [[Cyrus]] to use any means he feels necessary; however, he is very lazy and usually sends machines to do his dirty work for him. Saturn decided to kidnap {{adv|Platinum}} for a ransom, as she is the daughter of the wealthiest family in [[Sinnoh]]; however, when his grunts couldn't find a picture of the child he settles on her bodyguards, [[Paka and Uji]].

He later appears at the Spear Pillar where he and his fellow Commanders, Mars and Jupiter await Cyrus's arrival so that he can activate the ritual that will summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Saturn is the most shocked of the three when he sees that Cyrus is heavily injured but still promises to let no one stop him from activating the ritual. He, Mars, and Jupiter are all attacked by the Gym Leaders [[Fantina]], [[Roark]], and [[Gardenia]] but despite their challengers neither Commander is afraid. As they battle the Gym Leaders, three more arrive to help them [[Crasher Wake]], [[Maylene]], and [[Candice]] along with [[Byron]] for support; Saturn battles Roark and Fantina while Mars and Jupiter battle the other four. Despite his powerful Pokémon, Saturn is eventually defeated and is trapped underneath a pile of rubble, humorously with his machines airbag crushing him.

Later, Saturn and his teammates are discovered by another member of Team Galactic, [[Sird]]. Sird explains to them that she had infiltrated Team Rocket on a mission, but failed. Soon after, they are attacked by [[Riley]] of Iron Island, who had tracked Sird by her Aura. Sird battles Riley, allowing Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars to escape unharmed.

==Trivia==

* Saturn was incorrectly referred to as female on multiple occasions outside of the {{pkmn|games}}. He was identified as female in one mistranslated chapter of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] and then again on [[Pokémon Sunday]]. The confusion is also furthered by his feminine Japanese voice.

** It should also be noted that Saturn is one of the few Trainers in the main series games not encountered in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} to have a Pokémon with a 50-50 chance of being male or female to be the opposite gender as himself, along with [[Bugsy]], [[Will]], [[Janine]] (Generation II) and [[Grimsley]]. Notably, Bugsy has also been mistaken for a girl.

* Saturn is the lieutenant Commander of Team Galactic, meaning he is of a higher rank than Jupiter and Mars and his immediate superior is the Galactic Boss, [[Cyrus]], which would explain why after Cyrus disappeared, the remaining Team Galactic members followed under the command of Saturn. This is ironic, since he is the only Commander who was not told Team Galactic's true goals.

* 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.
