As a Coordinator, May was able to learn more about Pokémon and form stronger bonds with them. In ''[[AG051|Come What May!]]'', after winning the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest, May told her {{TP|May|Beautifly}} that she loved it. This is an example of her growth — from someone who initially disliked Pokémon to someone who cared deeply for them.

This is an example of her growth — from someone who initially disliked Pokémon to someone who cared deeply for them.


With her Pokémon, May was able to come up with different [[Contest combination|attack combinations]] to use during her [[Contest Battle]]s. For instance, she would use her {{TP|May|Combusken}}'s {{m|Fire Spin}} and her {{TP|May|Squirtle}}'s {{m|Bubble}} to create a combination of fire and water, dubbed "Fire and Water Whirlwind" by [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]], after witnessing {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} use it against Ash with a combination of {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This even made a [[Harley|rival]] of hers angry, thinking she thought he was not worthy of the move as May did not use it against him.

She also developed a love for making her own [[Pokéblock]]s with recipes that she thought up, including ones called "May's Purple Surprise" and "May's Pink Surprise" (Japanese: ''Haruka's Delicious'' and ''Haruka's Delicious 2''). Unfortunately, the only ones who liked her "Purple Surprise" were her {{TP|May|Munchlax}} and [[Jessie]]. Her "Pink Surprise" came from the recipe {{an|Professor Oak}} uses to make [[Ash's Snorlax]]'s {{pkmn|food}}. Thus, after May [[AG118|first fed]] it to her Munchlax, it was automatically made full. This Pokéblock was regularly used to feed Munchlax in order to prevent it from eating the food of others.

May has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in [[Hoenn]], [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. She also has a personal [[List of Japanese ending themes|theme song]], ''[[I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~]]'', performed by [[KAORI.]]. It was first used as background music in ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' and was used multiple times after that during May's Contest [[Appeal|performances]] and [[Contest Battle|battles]]. The song became the ending theme of the show between ''[[AG172|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! (Part 2)]]'' and ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''.

May reappeared from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' to participate in the [[Wallace Cup]]. During this period, she wore her {{ga|May|game counterpart}}'s outfit from {{game|Emerald}}. She shared that many of her Pokémon had [[Evolution|evolved]] and that she had already won three Johto Ribbons. {{an|Dawn}} recognized May upon meeting her and said that some people in the Sinnoh region called her the "Princess of Hoenn", causing May to blush. During the Wallace Cup, May showed the new style that she had come up after leaving Ash, battling against Dawn's rival [[Zoey]] and winning using her Beautifly. She made it all the way to the finals but narrowly lost to Dawn in the end.

When May first left her home, she was only interested in the traveling aspect of a [[Pokémon journey]]. This sparked one of May's most memorable quirks in Hoenn, "May's Expeditions". Starting from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', May would occasionally make a camera lens with her fingers, pretending she was the host of a traveling show.

As mentioned, May also enjoys making [[Pokéblock]]. She first learned about making Pokéblock in the episode ''[[AG090|Pokéblock, Stock and Berry]]'' when she met {{ho|Kelly}}. She learned that Kelly's mother owned a Pokéblock shop, and May was curious about it. Kelly then taught her how to use a [[Berry Blender]]. May's first attempt of making a Pokéblock was not successful, but that didn't stop her from trying. In the episode ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'', May continued to make Pokéblock, calling the result '''"May's Purple Surprise"'''. However, only [[May's Munchlax]] had taken a liking to it. Later on, [[Professor Oak]] had created a Pokéblock for May, which May calls '''"May's Pink Surprise"''', that is specially made for Munchlax. May uses it to stop her Munchlax from causing too much trouble on many occasions.

May's Contest cry is '''"Take the stage!"''' (Japanese: '''ステージ・オン!''' ''Stage On!''). In the English dub, she also uses variations, such as "On stage!"

However, May's lack of experience in commanding Pokémon got the Pokémon attacking her while Professor Birch fends off the Poochyena himself. Later, it reappeared as one of the options of May's [[starter Pokémon]], but the previous bad experience led her to not choose it.
