[[File:Solana anime AG.png|thumb|200px|Solana in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]

Solana first appeared in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'' as a Rank 3 Ranger. While {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} took a detour from Cycling Road since it was closed and {{AP|Pikachu}} sensed something in the forest, Solana showed up and prevented the group from continuing onward as they weren't allowed past there. However, after calling the [[Ranger Union]], the group and Solana were able to move forward to find Pikachu.

Deeper in the forest, Solana called on three {{p|Linoone}} with her Capture Styler to {{m|slash}} the vines blocking their way, eventually freeing {{TRT}} in the process. The group found Pikachu and an injured {{p|Celebi}}. After gaining Celebi's trust and helping it recover, Team Rocket arrived with their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]]. Solana helped rescue Celebi from the mecha while commanding her {{p|Plusle}} to use {{m|Thunder Wave}} on it.

She reappeared in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 1)]]'' where she sensed a disturbance in the area. She goes to look for a meteorite that crashed in the mountains. She didn't want Ash and his friends to come along as the task was very dangerous. When Solana arrived in a cave where the disturbance came from, she noticed [[Max]] who followed her there along with Ash, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Brock}}. She reluctantly allowed them to come along. She found {{p|Deoxys}} at the end of the cave. Deoxys became a challenge as Solana was unable to use her Capture Styler on it as it needed to be in Normal Forme.

In ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'', Solana along with the group and Team Rocket after Max and {{MTR}} disappeared with Deoxys in {{TP|Deoxys|another dimension|unnamed world}}. Solana goes to the area where the sun was colliding with the geomagnetic disturbance. She and the group return to the cave and encounter Deoxys again with Max and Meowth. Solana found out that the meteorite was indeed the source of the disturbance. The group escaped the cave when the meteorite exploded with energy. Solana attempted to capture Deoxys again to help it heal from the pain it is going through but she will need the help of the group's Pokémon to do so. With {{AP|Sceptile}}'s help, Solana was able to capture Deoxys. Thus, healing it from its pain.

Solana was showcased in the intro ''[[Spurt!]]'' starting from ''[[AG172|All That Glitters is Not Golden]]'' and made a brief appearance in the opening of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.

 

In ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'', she appeared with a new uniform, and did not have her Plusle with her. She called [[Kellyn]] on his Styler who was with Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}}. Solana notified him that she and [[Officer Jenny]] are on a motorcycle finding the location of [[J]]'s hideout.

 

In ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]'', Solana informed Kellyn that one of J's clients has escaped. After the group found J and her client's henchmen, Solana and Officer Jenny arrived to deal with the client's henchmen while Ash and Kellyn dealt with the client himself. Solana caught a nearby {{p|Trapinch}} with her Capture Styler and trapped them with {{m|Rock Tomb}}.

|desc={{p|Plusle}} was Solana's main Pokémon during the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. During Solana's mission to protect {{p|Celebi}}, Plusle has been relied on mostly for its Helping Hand technique to power up the Pokémon caught by Solana using the Capture Styler. When {{TRT}} came, Solana commanded Plusle to use Thunder Wave to destroy their mecha. In its next appearance, Plusle, along with [[Ash's Pikachu]], was affected by the geomagnetic disturbance caused by {{p|Deoxys}}. For some unknown reason, it was not seen in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]''.
