Throughout her journey, May has used combinations with her Pokémon, as she used her Blaziken, while it was a Combusken, and Wartortle's, while it was a Squirtle, {{t|Fire}} and {{type|Water}} attacks to form the fusion of Fire and Water. Some of May's Pokémon have shown to be naturally inclined to Pokémon Contests, such as her Beautifly, Skitty, and Wartortle. Her Blaziken is usually used in battle as her strongest Pokémon, but it has also been used in the appeal rounds in Pokémon Contests. | Throughout her journey, May has used combinations with her Pokémon, as she used her Blaziken, while it was a Combusken, and Wartortle's, while it was a Squirtle, {{t|Fire}} and {{type|Water}} attacks to form the fusion of Fire and Water.

* May has not made any speaking appearances since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.

To date, a replacement has not been cast.<ref>https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/miscellaneous/kaori_hiatus.html</ref> | * May has not made any speaking appearances since ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.
