History

As a wild Lickitung

Diamond & Pearl arc

Kit first appeared as a Lickitung in Licking Lickitung, having stole Diamond's food and Town Map. Attempting to recover it Diamond ran into the Pokétch Co. President, who insisted he help advertise his Pokétch. While advertising Lickitung showed up again in an attempt to grab more stuff and Diamond decided to capture him. Lickitung attacked Don with Rollout and followed up with a Slam, allowing Don to throw Lickitung. This enraged Lickitung and caused him to evolve into a Lickilicky. Diamond then attempted to capture him, but only ended up upsetting him more. Lickitung then burrowed underground and began attacking with Dig. Using his Pokétch Diamond figured out where Lickilicky's next spot to attack was and had Lax grab him when he surfaced. Diamond then threw a Poké ball at him, capturing him. Afterwards the two went around town and returned all of Kit's stolen items.

In Yikes, Yanmega!, Diamond ran into a group of Yanmega being controlled by Mars that were attacking Roseanne. After assessing the situation Diamond has Kit attack with Power Whip to scatter them and find the device that is controlling them. Diamond then has Tru attack with Razor Leaf, but the attack misses, surprising Diamond. Due to this he and Kit go straight into the middle of the swarm and take one of their attacks head on, allowing Kit to grab the device and smash it. Due to the device being destroyed the Yanmega are left without instructions and leave.

In Chancing Upon Chingling, once Diamond was spotted by the Advanced level Grunt, Kit was used with Diamond's other Pokémon to battle against him. Although he took heavy damage from the Grunt's Staraptor's Brave Bird he managed to counter attack with Power Whip and Wring Out, allowing Diamond to run ahead.

In Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI, Kit was used alongside the other Pokémon to battle against the Legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia. With the help of Diamond and Pearl's Pokémon and with a combined technique, they were all able to destroy the Red Chains controlling them.

Diamond and Kit

Platinum arc

In Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost), Kit battled against a wild Rotom that Diamond and Pearl were trying to protect. Diamond sent out Kit to battle against it and had him attacked with a Slam attack alongside Digler's Earthquake, but the moves dealt no damage due to it being an Electric/Ghost type and having the Ability Levitate. Rotom then moved towards Diamond and Pearl and shocked them while giggling before leaving for Eterna City.

In The Final Dimensional Duel VIII, Kit was used alongside Cyrus's Honchkrow to free Dialga and Palkia from Giratina's trap. Kit used Me First to copy Honchkrow's Night Slash in order to cut away at their restraints.
