Pluto is a leading Team Galactic officer introduced in Pokémon Platinum.

In the games

Pluto is first seen along with Mars at Valley Windworks during an attack. He does not have a speaking role during this time, though he can clearly be seen near Mars as a background character.

Gradually through the course of the game, the player discovers that Pluto is, in fact, a commander, as well as discovering his actual name in the first place.

Pluto's role in the game expands after the player defeats the Elite Four and obtains the National Dex. After Cyrus retreats into the Ruined World, Pluto takes over Team Galactic and becomes the new leader. He takes Mars and Jupiter with him to the Battle Zone so he can retrieve the Magma Rock from inside Stark Mountain and capture Heatran. However, once the player encounters them, Mars and Jupiter quit because "things were more exciting when Cyrus was the leader." It is also at this time that the international police officer Handsome, who had been hunting Team Galactic since the beginning of the game, arrests Pluto. He is not seen or heard from since.

According to a journal in a secret room in the Eterna Galactic HQ, Pluto discovered and named Rotom. When he was a child, Pluto lost his toy robot. He spent hours looking for it to no avail. Suddenly a Rotom jumped out of his lawnmower and he was surprised to say the least. He named the Pokémon Rotom, and soon Pluto and the Pokémon became good friends. Pluto always wanted to hug his new friend, but he couldn't for obvious reasons. However, one day, Rotom got startled and zapped Pluto, making him faint. When he awoke, Rotom was gone. Soon after, he found his toy robot in the garbage. When he picked it up, Pluto realized that Rotom had entered his toy. He could then finally hug his new friend.
