Pokémon the Series
Solrock first appeared in It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!. It battled Liza's Lunatone, but it was no match for the Meteorite Pokémon. When Solrock was charging up a Solar Beam, it was interrupted by Lunatone's Tackle but still managed to launch the move. However, Lunatone's Ice Beam was stronger and defeated Solrock. It was later seen lifting Team Rocket in the air after Corphish freed Max and Tate.
In Solid as a Solrock, Solrock battled alongside Lunatone against Ash's Pikachu and Swellow during Ash's Gym battle with the twins. It started off with Tackle and then used Solar Beam. However, because of Lunatone's Ice Beam clashing with it, it ruined Tate's strategy and Tate got into an argument with Liza. It left Solrock wide open for Pikachu's Iron Tail. Team Rocket then came by and snatched Solrock and Lunatone from Tate and Liza. They escaped with the help of Ash's Pokémon and sent Team Rocket blasting off with a combined Psychic blast.
The battle continued, with Solrock using Sandstorm on Swellow. It dominated Pikachu and Swellow with the help of Lunatone. However, Pikachu's and Swellow's Thunder Armor proved to be very powerful. As a result, Solrock was badly beaten by Pikachu's Iron Tail, winning Ash the Mind Badge.
Personality and characteristics
Very little is known about Solrock's personality, except for the fact that it usually follows Tate's commands. Unlike its and Lunatone's Trainers, Solrock and Lunatone haven't been known to bicker that much.
