Pokémon DP: Galactic Battles is the twelfth season of the dubbed version of the Pokémon anime, following up to the eleventh season. It is the third season of the Diamond & Pearl series and it follows Ash and Dawn as they continue their travels throughout the Sinnoh region, gathering Gym Badges and Contest Ribbons while accompanied by Brock.

Unlike previous seasons in the dub, there was no break between this season and the previous season. It is preceded by Pokémon DP: Battle Dimension and is succeeded by Pokémon DP: Sinnoh League Victors.

It originally aired in the United States as part of the 2009-2010 Cartoon Network Saturday morning line-up. It began on May 9, 2009 with the dub premiere Get Your Rotom Running!, and concluded on May 15, 2010 with Gotta Get a Gible!. This season skipped DP120 due to it being a clip show.

Blurb

As the menace of Team Galactic continues to loom over the Sinnoh region, Ash and Dawn keep getting caught up in the schemes of this mysterious group of villains—as well as facing some other unexpected challenges! Dawn’s got her hands full dealing with the many problems of her Pokémon, while Ash’s ongoing rivalry with Paul finally comes to a head in a full 6-on-6 battle! It might be the ultimate test of training styles—will our heroes come out on top?
