Tru first appeared in ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]'', as one of the three Pokémon given to {{adv|Platinum}} from [[Professor Rowan]]. Platinum sends him out of his [[Poké Ball]] alongside [[Chimler|Chimchar]] and gives him a [[Pokédex]] for her bodyguards (who will arrive wearing red and green mufflers), and instructs him to give it to whichever one he likes.

Platinum sends him out of his [[Poké Ball]] alongside [[Chimler|Chimchar]] and gives him a [[Pokédex]] for her bodyguards (who will arrive wearing red and green mufflers), and instructs him to give it to whichever one he likes. Matching the description, Tru chooses {{adv|Diamond}} as his {{pkmn|Trainer}} and gives him the Pokédex. Right after that, a flock of {{p|Starly}} appear and begin attacking the group, which results in the three starters fighting and defeating them. | ||
In ''[[PS346|Ring Around the Roserade I]]'', after leaving the [[Old Chateau]] the group meets [[Gardenia]], who somewhat nudges them into challenging her the next day. The three soon begin training with the starter Pokémon when [[Cynthia]] walks by and notices that the three are going to [[evolve]]. Quickly after saying this the three evolve, with Tru evolving into a {{p|Grotle}}. | In ''[[PS346|Ring Around the Roserade I]]'', after leaving the [[Old Chateau]] the group meets [[Gardenia]], who somewhat nudges them into challenging her the next day.

In ''[[PS359|Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank II]]'', Tru is used in the fight against the {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s in order to stop them from capturing Platinum. He starts by using {{m|Razor Leaf}} to block his opponents view and attack at the same time, impressing [[Paka and Uji]]. With their advice Tru uses {{m|Stealth Rock}} to assist Chimler by making a platform for him to reach the middle of the battle. Chimler then uses a spinning {{m|Ember}}, defeating the group of {{p|Staravia}}. The two then evolve into {{p|Torterra}} and {{p|Infernape}} and the group flees to the top of a building with a satellite dish on top of it. With Paka and Uji's guidance Chimler attacks wildly with Ember and Tru attacks with {{m|Earthquake}}, causing the satellite dish to fall on top of the Grunts. Pearl then realizes that Chimler's random attacks forced the Grunts into the spot behind the satellite and weakened it at the same time. With Tru's Earthquake knocking it down the Grunts had nowhere to run, trapping them. | In ''[[PS359|Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank II]]'', Tru is used in the fight against the {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s in order to stop them from capturing Platinum.

Bibarel attacks Chimler with {{m|Water Gun}} and Hippopotas attacks Tru with {{m|Sand Tomb}}. The two counter with {{m|Fury Swipes}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}}, knocking out both Pokémon. | ||
In ''[[PS363|Dramatic Drapion & Crafty Kricketune II]]'', Tru is used to battle two {{tc|Scientist}}s that were attacking Diamond and Platinum. With his high defense he easily takes the Scientist's {{p|Kricketune}}'s attack, but soon falls asleep from its {{m|Sing}}. | In ''[[PS363|Dramatic Drapion & Crafty Kricketune II]]'', Tru is used to battle two {{tc|Scientist}}s that were attacking Diamond and Platinum.

In ''[[PS366|Floatzel and Jetsam]]'', Tru is used in Platinum's [[Gym]] battle against [[Crasher Wake]] and his {{p|Quagsire}}. The two start by charging each other and begin a wrestling match. After a while Quagsire used its superior strength to pick up Tru and throw him into the water, which also knocked Platinum in as well. In a few moments neither of them surface and Crasher Wake assumes they drowned and calls the battle off. Platinum calls out from the other side of the arena, revealing that they slipped by him when underwater. Tru then attacks with {{m|Giga Drain}}, knocking Quagsire out. | In ''[[PS366|Floatzel and Jetsam]]'', Tru is used in Platinum's [[Gym]] battle against [[Crasher Wake]] and his {{p|Quagsire}}.

In ''[[PS379|Lucky Lucario I]]'', Tru is trained on [[Iron Island]] by [[Riley]] alongside Lax and [[Don]]. The three start by battling against Riley's {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} and are quickly defeated due to {{p|Lucario}}'s speed. Despite the loss Riley points out that the three have amazing defense and work wonderful together. After this Riley took the group into a cave and they are attacked by a wild {{p|Steelix}}. Lax and Don manage to hold it down long enough for Tru to attack with {{m|Crunch}}, making the Steelix flee. After the training Tru learned to overcome his weakness in speed and learned a technique called "Dia-Mach-One-and-Only Razor Leaf" which allows him to fire a single Razor Leaf at a high speed. | In ''[[PS379|Lucky Lucario I]]'', Tru is trained on [[Iron Island]] by [[Riley]] alongside Lax and [[Don]].
