Solidad (Japanese: サオリ Saori) is a Pokémon Coordinator from Pewter City. She is mature and holds May and Drew in high esteem.
History
Template:Spoiler She first appeared in the episode May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!. It was revealed in the episode that she had defeated Drew in his very first Pokémon Contest, which caused him to cry. Since then they seem to have become friends. They see each other often in Contests and they also keep in touch. She also noticed that Drew became more competitive, and she thinks May is the reason for this.
She also saw Brock often when he was still the leader of Pewter Gym, and he knew her from before as well.
Solidad stated that she is old friends with Harley, and that she finds him to be an interesting person.
She competed against May in the Kanto Grand Festival, which she won, giving her the title of Top Coordinator. Similarly to Drew, May also cried after being defeated by Solidad. She was last known to be traveling in Johto and in Staging a Heroes' Welcome!, she made a cameo appearance along with Harley and Drew, watching May perform at the Wallace Cup.
Pokémon
Slowbro first appeared with Solidad, using psychic powers to lift the escaping Aipom into Ash's arms. In Thinning the Hoard, Slowbro created a masterful display of levitating itself with Psychic, then using Water Gun to create a fountain effect. Later in the episode, it used Hyper Beam to single-handedly blast a Girafarig and a Zigzagoon out of the competition.
In Channeling the Battle Zone!, Slowbro was shown to be fighting alongside Pidgeot against May's Combusken and Munchlax. It easily disarmed Munchlax's Focus Punch with Psychic, before putting Combusken to sleep with Yawn. It evaded Munchlax's SolarBeam and teamed up with Pidgeot to knock Munchlax out with another Hyper Beam. Slowbro's known moves are Psychic, Water Gun, Hyper Beam and Yawn. | ||

Solidad's Pidgeot was used during the double battle phase against May alongside Solidad's Slowbro against May's Combusken and Munchlax.

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