As a Coordinator,May was able to learn more about Pokemon, and her knowledge became greater during her journey in both Hoenn and Kanto for her contests that she competes in, that she can come up with different types of attacks.

She was also able use these combinations in battle.For example she would use her Combusken's Fire Spin and her Squirtle's Bubble to create a combinaton of Fire and Water. which was dubbed by Lillian Meridian as Fire and Water whirlwind. which she was able to knockout Drew's Flygon and his Absol.  During her journey she won numerous ribbions in both Hoenn and Kanto and she is still using those skills and talents in Johto currently.
