Commander

A Commander (Japanese: ギンガだんかんぶ Team Galactic Executive) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation IV games. Commanders can come in either gender.

The title has only specifically referred to three characters: Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. They are the subleaders of Team Galactic under Cyrus. They generally have stronger Pokémon than the grunts they command and can only be battled on certain occasions. Each commander also has a Bronzor on their team.

Another commander for Team Galactic, Charon, was revealed in Pokémon Platinum, though he is never battled in the game.

In the anime

Saturn first appeared in a brief appearance in A Secret Sphere of Influence!. He later appeared in Journey to the Unown!, where he obtained the Spear Key from the Solaceon Ruins, and in Losing Its Lustrous! where he was able to steal the Adamant Orb.

Mars made her debut in Losing Its Lustrous! while Jupiter first appeared the next episode. Both of them, along with other members of Team Galactic, stole the Lustrous Orb from the Celestic Town Historical Research Center, completing the pair they needed.

All three of them later appeared in Steeling Peace of Mind! and Saving the World From Ruins! where Mars was trying to help locate Spear Pillar using the ruins on Iron Island, however her mission brought Ash and his friends onto the island. Eventually Mars was forced to abandon her original mission of scanning Mt. Coronet for the location of Spear Pillar, and switched her objective to destroying Iron Island. However, she failed to complete her mission due to Riley and his Lucario using their aura to get rid of the explosion from the bombs that the Galactic Grunts had placed throughout Iron Island.

Charon made his debut as a cameo in Saving the World From Ruins!, however he later appeared in Gateway to Ruin! where he, along with Saturn, were excavating Mt. Coronet to search for the entrance to Spear Pillar. However, the ruins that they found were not what they were looking for and they proceeded to retreat.

In DP151, with the help of J, the three were able to obtain Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie, allowing the team to take control of them. This then allows them to summon Dialga and Palkia. However, they were later arrested after Cyrus disappeared, while Charon was nowhere to be seen.
