Wig is first seen when Platinum lets him out of his Poké Ball, gives him a Pokédex for her bodyguards, and instructs him to give it to one of them. Matching the description, Wig chooses Diamond as its Trainer and gives him the Pokédex. Right after that, a flock of Starly appear and begin attacking the group, which results in the three starters fighting and defeating them. When Wig and the other starters are training in Eterna City for Platinum's Gym Battle with Gardenia, Cynthia walks past them and notices that the three Pokémon are about to evolve. He later evolves into a Torterra along with Chimhiko at Veilstone City.
