Sohdayo, who's actual name is Sohtim da Yotim, is a former member of the Rising Volt Tacklers, and knows quite a lot about the other members of the team having worked with them in the past. He calls himself a "truthful Pokémon journalist" and writes articles for the long-running B-grade occultism magazine "Occulture".
Like many tabloid journalists, he bends the truth a bit in his articles to make them more sensational. He also a bit obnoxious but
Mollie told the crew the way to know if he's actually telling the truth was to see if Sonano says "That's right!" after something
Sohdayo said.
He is two days older that
Mollie but it is unclear if he is teasing her or helping her learn to become the best Pokémon Doctor by sending her on tasks.
Friede setup a meeting with
Sohdayo so they could see if he had any information about Entei. He told them that he had heard that someone in Asagi City had seen an Entei recently.
