In the anime
The Adamant Orb debuted in A Secret Sphere of Influence!, where Team Rocket was tasked by Team Galactic to steal it from the Eterna Museum. Team Rocket successfully made the theft, but did not manage to give the orb to Team Galactic.
The Adamant Orb and the Lustrous Orb appeared in Losing Its Lustrous!. Team Galactic attacked a police plane transporting the Adamant Orb from Eterna City to Celestic Town, and stole the Adamant Orb. The Celestic Town Historical Research Center was studying the Lustrous Orb, and was having the Adamant Orb transported there to be studied as well. Upon receiving word that the Adamant Orb had been stolen, the Lustrous Orb was put under heavy police protection by Officer Jenny and her officers. Professor Carolina, Ash, Dawn, Brock, Cynthia, and Cyrus (who is regarded as a famous businessman) entered the room that contained the orb to examine it, but Mars set off explosives, after which the door to the orb room failed to reseal. Team Galactic burst in and engaged Ash, his friends, and Cynthia in battle. In the next episode, Double Team Turnover!, Team Rocket successfully steal the Lustrous Orb while disguised as police officers. Both Ash and his friends and Team Galactic try to get the orb back, but Team Rocket escapes. After being found hiding in the Celestic Ruins, Ash, his friends, Team Galactic tried to get the orb back, only for Team Rocket to threaten to have James's Carnivine eat it. Jupiter's Purugly jumped on Carnivine's head and took the Lustrous Orb from it. At this point, Team Galactic fled the scene. Back in the Galactic HQ, the Lustrous and Adamant Orbs were shown to be connected to some kind of machinery. In the next episode, If the Scarf Fits, Wear It!, a picture of the Lustrous Orb appeared in an article in the Sinnoh Star that Brock was reading.
In these episodes, Cyrus explained that he believes that the Adamant Orb is Dialga and that the Lustrous Orb is Palkia.
The two orbs made a brief appearance at the end of Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!, where Team Galactic is seen taking them to the Spear Pillar, along with the Red Chain. The orbs reappear in The Battle Finale of Legend!, where Cyrus places them and the lake guardians in place around the ruins at the Spear Pillar. This process calls forth Dialga and Palkia, who are immediately controlled by the Red Chain. Under Cyrus's control, they create a portal to his new world, which he alone enters. The Red Chain then breaks and the lake guardians use their powers to return Dialga and Palkia to their own worlds. After Dialga and Palkia return to their own worlds, Gary secures the orbs and decides to return them to Professor Carolina.
The Griseous Orb has not appeared in the anime.
