Unlike their predecessors [[Team Rocket]], [[Team Magma]], and [[Team Aqua]], Team Galactic did not appear in the earliest segments of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. The group finally appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'', with [[Saturn]] and several {{tc|Galactic Grunt|Grunts}} appearing in a short cameo at the end of the episode. They had assigned the [[Team Rocket trio]] of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to steal the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}} from the [[Eterna Historical Museum]].

Team Galactic made a second appearance in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', this time in an expanded role. Saturn brings two grunts with him to the [[Solaceon Ruins]], using three [[plate]]s to obtain a [[Spear Key|strange cube]] inside. After thanking the Team Rocket trio who followed them inside, Saturn escapes using his {{p|Bronzor}}, leaving the ruins in chaos due to the enraged {{p|Unown}}.

In ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} encounter the organization for the first time. Saturn again leads the mission, exposing the strange cube found in the ruins to the Veilstone meteorites and transforming it into the [[Spear Key]]. Team Galactic attempts to steal the meteorites as well, but after a brief battle between Saturn's {{p|Toxicroak}} and [[Brock's Croagunk]], as well as many {{p|Golbat}} and [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Paul's Electabuzz]], the team is forced to retreat.

Team Galactic made their biggest push yet in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', when the other two Commanders, [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]], as well as leader [[Cyrus]] made their debuts. Cyrus is revealed to be a rich businessman who was responsible for constructing most of the buildings in the Sinnoh region, while Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are carrying out yet another Team Galactic plot, this time to steal both the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb}} as well as the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb}} from the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]]. Ash and Dawn reveal to Cyrus [[DP001|their]] [[DP078|encounters]] with {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} at [[Lake Verity]] and [[Lake Valor]], respectively, unknowing of his obsession with the {{an|lake guardians}} and the other [[legendary Pokémon]] of Sinnoh. The Galactic plot is successful, and the two Orbs are stolen, though Cyrus never reveals himself to be behind it all. It is also revealed that some of Veilstone's meteorites have been sent to the [[Fuego Ironworks]] as part of the [[Red Chain]] project.

In ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' and ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', yet another plot was carried out by the group. Mars led a group of grunts to [[Iron Island]], where a shrine to {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} was located. Using it and the Spear Key, an electromagnetic beam that disturbed the {{t|Steel}} types that inhabit the island was blasted at [[Mt. Coronet]]. Ash and his friends, as well as [[Riley]], his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}}, and {{an|Barry}}, were able to destroy the machine that Mars was using, though Team Galactic's scan of Mt. Coronet remained at 60%. [[Charon]] also debuted in the latter of the two episodes; however, it was only in a cameo, and he did not have a speaking role.
