In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Tate and Liza finally faced of against Ash in a [[Double Battle]], in which their Lunatone and Solrock, respectively, were up against Ash's Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}}. At first, they continuously argued with each other, which allowed their opponent to get hits in. However, after another attack by Team Rocket, the twins managed to work together. In the battle that followed, they showed an incredible ability to balance each other's Pokémon, becoming a seemingly unstoppable force that Ash had to resort to unorthodox tactics in order to defeat. Eventually, Pikachu and Swellow used Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}} attack as armor, and with this newfound power, they easily defeated Lunatone and Solrock, earning Ash the Mind Badge.

|desc=Liza's {{p|Lunatone}} is the Pokémon she uses in all Gym battles. When the twins battled each other in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]'', Lunatone won the battle for Liza. She later also used it against {{TRT}} after they failed to steal a space shuttle from the Mossdeep Space Center.

==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Tate and Liza debut in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. They are the guardians of [[Mt. Pyre]], having taken over the position from their grandparents. When Flannery calls the Gym Leaders together for a meeting about [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], Tate and Liza are forced to ignore the call so that they can head over to Mt. Pyre. There, they encounter Team Magma, who aims on stealing the Red and Blue Orbs so that they can be used to control {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. The attackers turn out to be illusions created by [[Blaise]]. By distracting Tate and Liza with his illusions, Blaise is able to easily sneak into the chamber holding the orbs and steal them.

Tate and Liza later appear on [[Mirage Island]] with [[Juan]]. They are tasked with training {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} so that they would be ready to face Groudon and Kyogre. They train Ruby and Sapphire in various forms of Double Battle styles so that they may work together and defeat their opponents. Once the time had come for Ruby and Sapphire to head off, Tate and Liza award Sapphire the Mind Badge.

After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated and Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their deep slumber, Tate and Liza celebrated the victory with their allies and thanked Sapphire and Ruby for their assistance in the battle.

|desc=Tate and Liza each own a {{p|Spoink}}. They were first used to battle {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} on [[Mirage Island]]. The two were repeatedly used to help Ruby and Sapphire training for their upcoming battle against {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

==Trivia==

** In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, instead of serving as a team, Tate and Liza are shown and battled separately.

* Chuang Yi's translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga mistakenly refer to Tate as a girl.

* In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, they are referred to as "<sc>Leader Tate&Liza</sc>" due to the way their Trainer class is programmed. This is fixed in the remakes, where they are called "Leaders Liza & Tate".

* In Emerald, Solrock is the only Pokémon from the original team to keep its moveset in the rematches.
