Pokémon Adventures
Soliera debuted inMeeting the Ultra Recon Squad. She was first seen receiving a call fromDulse, who reported that he andZossie lost theLunala they were using to traverse throughUltra Space. As they talked, Soliera checked on the condition ofNecrozma, who was in pain despite having absorbedSolgaleo to become itsDusk Mane form.
InArrival at the Scientific Megalopolis, Zossie arrived at theUltra Megalopolis withSun andMoon. Shortly after, aStakataka appeared, looking to battle with Necrozma. Wanting to see if the bonds between Trainers and their Pokémon could lead to a solution that would restore light to the Ultra Megalopolis, Soliera lured Stakataka to theMegalo Tower, forcing Sun and Moon to battle it. After Stakataka was defeated, Necrozma was alerted to Lunala's presence. Necrozma released Solgaleo and leapt off of the Megalo Tower to try and absorb Lunala as well. Sun and Moon tried to assist Lunala, but were stopped byLusamine. A comment from Sun angered Lusamine, who sent out aNihilego and had it fuse with her.
InRay of Light!! Through the Crack in the Sky!, Necrozma fled to the top of Megalo Tower while Lusamine chased after it. Zossie and the others tried pursuing them, but were sucked into anUltra Wormhole Necrozma made, dropping everyone into the skies aboveMount Lanakila. Soliera and the others later witnessed Necrozma battling againstZygarde in its Complete Forme. During the clash, Necrozma opened a wormhole, summoning Dulse to Alola. It absorbed theUltranecrozium Z Dulse had with him, allowing Necrozma to transform into Ultra Necrozma. The Ultra Recon Squad decided the best option to stop Necrozma was to capture it, but due to Lusamine's meddling, there were noBeast Balls left to use.Nanu stated he could have another Beast Ball delivered, but told Sun and Zygarde to keep Necrozma busy while they waited for it to arrive.
Later, Moon joined in the battle, and with a combined attack from Zygarde, Lunala, and Solgaleo, Necrozma was finally downed.Anabel arrived with the final Beast Ball, but it was destroyed when Necrozma launched one final attack. Sun revealed he picked up the Beast Ball Moon tried using on Lusamine earlier, which Anabel decided to let Zossie use. Zossie captured Necrozma with the Beast Ball, hoping that it could one day be healed of its injured state.
Several months later, Soliera rejected theAether Foundation's request to do cooperative research with them, stating she would only do so with Moon.
