'''Tobias''' (Japanese: '''タクト''' ''Takuto'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

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.  

|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.

 

 

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}}.}}

Tobias has at least four other Pokémon as those who entered the Lily of the Valley Conference were required to enter with six Pokémon.

* 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.

**It is also notable that Tobias is also the first character in the anime to have multiple legendary Pokémon that are not a part of a trio.

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