Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles is the twelfth season of the Pokémon anime, following up to the eleventh season. It is the third season of the Diamond & Pearl series.
Unlike previous seasons in the dub, there was no break between this season and the previous one.
It began with the dub of Get Your Rotom Running! and concluded with Gotta Get a Gible!. This season skipped DP120 due to it being a clip show.
