Tru: Difference between revisions

==History==

==={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}===

Tru first appeared in ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]'', as one of the three Pokémon given to {{adv|Platinum}} from [[Professor Rowan]]. Platinum sends him out of his {{i|Poké Ball}} alongside [[Chimler|Chimchar]] and gives him a [[Pokédex]] for her bodyguards (who will arrive wearing red and green mufflers), and instructs him to give it to whichever one he likes. Matching the description, Tru chooses {{adv|Diamond}} as his {{pkmn|Trainer}} and gives him the Pokédex. Right after that, a flock of {{p|Starly}} appear and begin attacking the group, which results in the three starters fighting and defeating them.

In ''[[PS349|Passing by Probopass and Maneuvering around Magnezone]]'', the group enters [[Mt. Coronet]] and encounters the leader of [[Team Galactic]], [[Cyrus]]. He has his {{p|Probopass}} attack them with a powerful {{m|Rock Slide}} for being "noisy" around the site of his {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Magneton}}'s evolutions, and Pearl and Platinum become trapped under the rubble. The [[Rayler|Luxio]] they met [[PS340|before]] shows up and uses his X-Ray vision to find the two that were buried, and has Tru and {{adv|Lax}} use {{m|Tackle}} to help break the two out.  

In ''[[PS359|Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank II]]'', Tru fights against some {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}}s in order to stop them from capturing Platinum. He starts by using {{m|Razor Leaf}} to block his opponents view and attack at the same time, impressing [[Paka and Uji]]. With their advice Tru uses {{m|Stealth Rock}} to assist Chimler by making a platform for him to reach the middle of the battle. Chimler uses a spinning {{m|Ember}}, defeating the group of {{p|Staravia}}. The two then evolve into {{p|Torterra}} and {{p|Infernape}} and the group flees to the top of a building with a satellite dish on top of it. With Paka and Uji's guidance Chimler attacks wildly with Ember and Tru attacks with {{m|Earthquake}}, causing the satellite dish to fall on top of the Grunts. Pearl then realizes that Chimler's random attacks forced the Grunts into the spot behind the satellite and weakened it at the same time. With Tru's Earthquake knocking it down the Grunts had nowhere to run, trapping them.

In ''[[PS379|Lucky Lucario I]]'', Tru is trained on [[Iron Island]] by [[Riley]] alongside Lax and [[Don]]. The three start by battling against Riley's {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} and are quickly defeated due to {{p|Lucario}}'s speed. Despite the loss Riley points out that the three have amazing defense and work wonderful together. After this Riley took the group into a cave and they are attacked by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Steelix}}. Lax and Don manage to hold it down long enough for Tru to attack with {{m|Crunch}}, making the Steelix flee. After the training Tru learned to overcome his weakness in speed and learned a technique called "Dia-Mach-One-and-Only Razor Leaf", which allows him to fire a single Razor Leaf at a high speed.

During the battle against [[Mars]] in ''[[PS399|Mixing It Up with Machamp]]'', Tru was sent out to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Mesprit}} from Team Galactic. Tru fires a Dia-Mach-One-and-Only Razor Leaf towards the cable connecting the capture device and then immediately follows it up with a regular Razor Leaf, which blinds Mars and her {{p|Yanmega}}. Despite his best efforts Mesprit was still captured and Tru fell into [[Lake Verity]], separating him from Diamond alongside [[Kit]]. They were [[PS402|later]] taken to Pearl by {{adv|Sebastian}}. In ''[[PS407|Chancing Upon Chingling]]'', once Diamond was spotted by the [[Advanced level Grunt]], [[Chatler]] returns Tru and Kit to Diamond. Tru then participated with Diamond's other Pokémon to battle against the Advanced level Grunt but proved to be no match for his strength.  

==Personality and characteristics==

Like his {{pkmn|Trainer}}, Tru is a very relaxed and carefree Pokémon, and adjusts well to difficult situations, similar to how he can take great amounts of damage due to his high defense. He is caring and kind, always willing to help out. He is very brave as well and does not back down from a challenge.
