Jupiter (Japanese: ジュピター Jupiter) is one of Team Galactic's four Commanders in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum Versions.

In the games

She is first seen at the uppermost floor of the Galactic Eterna Building in Eterna City. She is also briefly seen at Lake Acuity, where she defeats the player's rival somewhat easily. She is later battled at Spear Pillar in a double battle with Mars against the player and his or her rival. In Pokémon Platinum she and Mars quit Team Galactic because Charon has different ideals than former boss Cyrus. It is also shown that Mars and Jupiter have a mutual dislike of each other.

Quotes

Spear Pillar

• Before battle:

"And I'll be next. You might be tough, but this time, the gloves are coming off!"

"Ha! If it isn't that little boy. The little crybaby from Lake Acuity. Did you toughen up a bit? Sure, let's battle two-on-two!"

• When defeated:

"Humph! You've toughened up. But you're no match for our boss."

• After battle:

"That shadow... What was it...?!"

Stark Mountain

• Before battle:

"...Mars. You really are weak. Pitifully so. You make me embarrassed to be a Commander like you."

"Fine. I'll go up next. I want to know what became of Master Cyrus, too."

• When defeated:

"Humph! Quit flaunting your toughness! It's not cute in the least!"

• After battle:

"...How dare you!"

"Following Mars's lead at anything irks me, but... I'm quitting to do my own thing, too. Team Galactic's just no fun without Master Cyrus around. So, old-timer, go ahead. Do what you want with Team Galactic."

"...Says you. An "ordinary girl" you're not. What should I do now? Is leaving on a journey the right idea?"

In the anime

Jupiter in the anime

Jupiter made her debut appearance in Double Team Turnover! where she was the one to get the Lustrous Orb back from Team Rocket after they stole it from the Celestic Town Historical Research Center.

She was later assigned by Cyrus to lead the capture squad for the Lake guardians, along with some assistance from Pokémon hunters.

She also had a cameo appearance in Saving the World From Ruins!.

She also appeared in DP150.

Pokémon

This listing is of Jupiter's known Pokémon in the anime:

Skuntank
	Skuntank is Jupiter's main Pokémon, appearing alongside her in Double Team Turnover!. Skuntank appears to be very loyal, remaining by Jupiter's side throughout the operation to retrieve the Lustrous Orb however it clearly also likes to sleep as it was resting while Jupiter used the Spear Key to track the Orb down. Skuntank later proved instrumental in retrieving the Lustrous Orb for Team Galactic when it saved it from being destroyed when it was thrown through the air in the midst of a battle with Team Rocket, whom Skuntank then sent blasting off. Skuntank's next appearance was in DP150 where it battled Pikachu and Piplup. Skuntank's known attacks are Slash, Toxic, Flamethrower and Hyper Beam.

Trivia

• Jupiter's name was changed to Ceres in Spanish-language versions of the game, likely due to the fact that Jupiter is the name of a male Roman god. This also happened to Mars.
  • Because of this, she shares with Charon the somewhat dubious honor of being named for a dwarf planet (as his Spanish name is Plutón). Perhaps ironically, Jupiter is the largest of the eight planets, while Ceres is the smallest of the currently accepted five dwarf planets.
• Jupiter's Japanese voice actress, Chinami Nishimura, also voices Officer Jenny, a police officer. Coincidentally, both names start with a J, in both Japanese (romanized) and English versions. Both also appeared in Double Team Turnover!.
• Jupiter's Skuntank is under-leveled in the first battle; Stunky don't evolve until level 34.
