Pokémon the Series
Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl
Jupiter debuted inDouble Team Turnover!, where she was the one to get theLustrous Orb back fromTeam Rocket after they stole it from theCelestic Town Historical Research Center. She was later assigned byCyrus to lead the capture squad for theLake guardians, along with some assistance fromPokémon hunters.
InSaving the World From Ruins!, Jupiter stood alongside Cyrus and Saturn at Team Galactic HQ.
InUnlocking the Red Chain of Events!, Jupiter was protectingCharon at theFuego Ironworks while he was working on theRed Chain. She successfully capturedLooker,Jessie, andJames and later encounteredAsh andhis friends for the first time. During their encounter, she noted her disgust thatMesprit,Azelf, andUxie had chosenDawn, Ash andBrock as their protectors rather than herself and her fellow Commanders. With help from herSkuntank, Jupiter and Charon were able to make a clean getaway.
When Team Galactic's plans came to a head inThe Needs of the Three!, Jupiter battled the group again. InThe Battle Finale of Legend!, she was asked to guard the outside of theSpear Pillar. However, she was quickly captured byCynthia and later arrested along with Saturn and Mars.
InMemories are Made of Bliss!, Team Rocket's fantasy featured Jupiter and all of the other members of Team Galactic.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series
Jupiter reappeared inThe Arceus Chronicles (Part 1) throughThe Arceus Chronicles (Part 4), taking part in Team Galactic's plan to bring back Cyrus. For this purpose, Team Galactic acquiredArceus'sFlame Plate and aHeatran, which were meant to power a device that would open a gate to the world that Cyrus had disappeared to. The operation, however, experienced a setback when the energy cannon exploded and Heatran went on a rampage. Jupiter and the other Commanders later faced Ash and his friends in order to stop them from interfering with them, but they were ultimately defeated and captured by Cynthia and later arrested byOfficer Jenny, ending their plan in a failure.
Character
Jupiter has an egotistical, vindictive personality. She is quick to act, as demonstrated inUnlocking the Red Chain of Events!, where she capturedLooker and overpowered Ash's group easily. Jupiter is particularly uptight and likes to express her frustrations openly, such as when Ash and his friends arrived to intervene inTeam Galactic's schemes. She is fanatically devoted to Cyrus's ideology, even going as far as to tell Looker she doesn't care if she perishes in the course of Cyrus's plan being realized.

InUnlocking the Red Chain of Events!, Skuntank battledPikachu andPiplup. InThe Needs of the Three! andThe Battle Finale of Legend!, it helped fulfill Team Galactic's plans, but it was eventually knocked out byCynthia's Garchomp'sGiga Impact.

- Jupiter also has at least one more Pokémon, as seen inThe Battle Finale of Legend!, though she didn't get a chance to send out the Pokémon beforeCynthia's Garchomp cornered her.

History
Diamond & Pearl arc
Jupiter first appears atLake Acuity, where she attacksPlatinum,Candice andMaylene, promptly defeating and overpowering them despite their best efforts. She then succeeds in capturingUxie and delivering it to theTeam Galactic HQ and joins up withMars andSaturn, where the three are greeted by an elatedCyrus.
In the final battle at the Spear Pillar, she is defeated and knocked unconscious byCandice andMaylene, who are happy to have avenged their previous loss. Later, Jupiter and her teammates are discovered by another member of Team Galactic,Sird. Jupiter introduces Sird to the others, who in turn explains to them that she had infiltrated Team Rocket on a mission, but failed. Soon after, they are attacked byRiley of Iron Island, who had tracked Sird by her Aura. Sird battles Riley, allowing Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars to escape unharmed.
Platinum arc
Later, Jupiter and the other Commanders witness Charon battling Diamond and Pearl inEterna City withHeatran andGiratina. While the others are irritated that Charon has revealed his true loyalties, Jupiter completely ignores it so that they can enter the Distortion World and rescue Cyrus. After arriving, they find Charon there as well. He lies and tells them that he is searching for Cyrus too, but is being attacked by a group of people and asks for their help.
Believing his lie, Jupiter quickly rushes into battle, and they each face a different opponent in a one-on-one battle. Jupiter facesMarley in battle, while Saturn facesMira, and Mars facesCheryl. Jupiter proves to be a powerful opponent for Marley, but with information from Platinum, Marley manages to figure out her opponent's Natural Gift tactic.
The battle is interrupted by Giratina, who flies past them so that it can fight the otherLegendary Pokémon in the area. After Charon is defeated, Jupiter, her fellow Commanders, and Cyrus emerge from the Distortion World and into the real world. Charon tries to lie to Cyrus by claiming that he intended to gather the Legendary Pokémon for Team Galactic's sake.
Cyrus speaks to his four Commanders once more and reveals that he is disbanding Team Galactic and prepares to leave. Jupiter, in an outburst of anger, yells at Cyrus for abandoning them because she, Mars, and Saturn will have nowhere else to go without him. Hearing her wishes, Cyrus takes Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars away with him and thanks Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum for their help.

Trivia
- Jupiter's name was changed to Ceres inSpanish versions of the game, likely due to the fact that Jupiter is the name of a male Roman god. This also happened toMars.
- Because of this, she shares withCharon the somewhat dubious honor of being named for a dwarf planet (as his Spanish name isPlutón). Perhaps ironically, Jupiter is the largest of the eight planets, while Ceres is the smallest of the currently accepted fivedwarf planets.
- Jupiter is the only person in theanimated series to have their name changed in theIsraeli dub, due to the fact thatJupiter in Hebrew is called Yupiter.
- InPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, when Jupiter battles alongsideSaturn in theBattle Tower, she uses exclusivelyPoison-type Pokémon, while Saturn uses exclusivelyDark-type Pokémon.
- According to thePokémon Adventures artistSatoshi Yamamoto, the series' interpretation of Jupiter would influence the character ofScarlet.[2]
- Jupiter'sTangrowth is the only Pokémon in thePokémon Adventures manga to have used the moveNatural Gift.
