'''Solidad''' (Japanese: '''サオリ''' ''Saori'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. She is a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Pewter City]] who first appeared in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''.


She first appears in [[AG179]], and is already acquainted with [[Brock]], [[Drew]] and [[Harley]]. She beat [[Drew]]'s {{p|Roselia}} in his first [[Pokémon Contest]], which caused him to burst into tears. Since then they seem to have become friends.
==History==
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''===
Solidad debuted in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', where it was revealed that she had defeated [[Drew]] in his very first [[Pokémon Contest]], causing him to cry. Since then they have become friends. They keep in touch and occasionally run into each other. She also noticed that Drew became more competitive, and she thinks {{an|May}} is the reason for this.
 
In ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'', Solidad battled May in the semifinal round of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. She was able to counter May's attacks as she had previously observed her battling style. She managed to win the battle against May, and then she won the final stage, giving her the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]]. Similarly to Drew, May also cried after being defeated by Solidad.
 
In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', Solidad was revealed to have traveled to [[Johto]].
 
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', Solidad was seen in [[Ecruteak City]] along with [[Harley]] and [[Drew]], watching May perform live on TV at the [[Wallace Cup]].
 
==Character==
Solidad is more mature than fellow Coordinators {{an|May}} and [[Drew]] but still holds them in high esteem. She and {{an|Brock}} are old friends and she used to see him often when he was still the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter Gym]], even knowing him from before then. She also stated that she is old friends with [[Harley]] and that she finds him to be an interesting person.

|desc={{p|Slowbro}} first appeared with Solidad, using psychic powers to lift the escaping {{AP|Aipom}} into Ash's arms. In ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'', Slowbro created a masterful display of levitating itself with {{m|Psychic}}, then using {{m|Water Gun}} to create a fountain effect. Later in the episode, it used {{m|Hyper Beam}} to single-handedly blast a {{p|Girafarig}} and a {{p|Zangoose}} out of the competition.
 
In ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'', Slowbro was shown to be fighting alongside {{p|Pidgeot}} against [[May's Combusken]] and {{TP|May|Munchlax}}. It easily disarmed Munchlax's {{m|Focus Punch}} with Psychic, before putting Combusken to sleep with {{m|Yawn}}. It evaded Munchlax's {{m|Solar Beam}} and teamed up with Pidgeot to knock Munchlax out with another Hyper Beam.
 
Slowbro's known moves are {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Water Gun}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Yawn}}.}}

It then used {{m|Double Team}} to avoid Munchlax's last desperate attack, and teamed up with Slowbro to knock it out with an Aerial Ace.

==Trivia==
* The official website for Cartoon Network initially called Solidad "Samantha" in their summary for the episode of her debut.
* All of Solidad's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are from [[Generation I]].
* Three of Solidad's Pokémon are the same species as Pokémon which {{Ash}} has released: {{AP|Pidgeot}}, {{AP|Lapras}}, and {{AP|Butterfree}}.
** Coincidentally, all three of those species received a type of temporary form in future generations: Lapras and Butterfree received a [[Gigantamax]] form in Generation VIII and Pidgeot received a [[Mega Evolution]] in Generation VI.
*** Additionally, while not a temporary form, {{p|Slowbro}} received a [[Galarian form]] in [[Generation VIII]].
** All of Solidad's Pokémon share an evolutionary relative with the Pokémon [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash owns in the Electric Tale of Pikachu adaptation]] where he still owns a Butterfree and Lapras, but has a {{p|Pidgeotto}} and a [[Giant Pokémon|giant Slowpoke]] instead of a Pidgeot and Slowbro which Solidad owns.
* Solidad is the only [[rival]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' who did not appear in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
