'''Clair''' (Japanese: '''イブキ''' ''Ibuki'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Blackthorn City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. Her specialty is {{type2|Dragon}} [[Pokémon]], and she gives the {{badge|Rising}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her.
'''Clair''' (Japanese: '''イブキ''' ''Ibuki'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Blackthorn City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and she gives the {{Badge|Rising}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. Her cousin is [[Lance]].
 
==In the core series games==
Clair appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Leader of the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. She is the eighth and final Gym Leader to be met in the [[Johto]] [[region]], and defeating her will allow {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to advance to [[Indigo Plateau]]. Known as "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon", Clair is descended from a long line of Dragon-type Trainers including her cousin, [[Elite Four]] member [[Lance]], and the {{OBP|master|Dragon Tamer clan}} of Blackthorn's Dragon Tamer clan.
 
Clair is confident of her abilities as a Trainer, and speaks of herself as "the world's best dragon master". She can hold her own against the [[Elite Four]]: her only known loss is against Lance, now the Champion. Even if the {{player}} defeats her in battle, she refuses to accept their talents unless they pass the "{{tt|Dragon-master challenge|&quot;dragon user challenge&quot; in Generation II}}". The {{Badge|Rising}} that victors of the Blackthorn Gym are entitled to remains in Clair's possession until Trainers have navigated the [[Dragon's Den]] and located a shrine at its center. Only then will Clair acknowledge her loss. She will also encourage the player to excel at the Pokémon League; this is mainly personal, so she will feel less upset about her defeat at the hands of a child. As well as the Rising Badge, she will also issue a {{t|Dragon}} Technical Machine: {{TM|24|DragonBreath}} in [[Generation II]]; {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}} in [[Generation IV]]. Many of her own Pokémon know these moves in the respective generations.
 
The player's rival, {{ga|Silver}}, takes to training in the Dragon's Den once the Elite Four have been defeated by the player. In this way, he is said to act as Clair did when she was young herself. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, once Silver has been beaten at [[Mt. Moon]], Clair will appear in the Dragon's Den and team up with her cousin to face the player and Silver in a [[Multi Battle]]. She initially tries to partner up with Silver after he challenges Lance (who asks the player to be his partner), but Silver insults her outfit and asks the player to partner with him instead. She comes to the Dragon's Den every morning between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM after the player and rival defeat her and Lance, and will give her [[Pokégear]] phone number to the player. If called on Friday evening, she will journey to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and have a rematch with the player.

[[Image:Clair_anime.jpg|thumb|left|215px|Clair in the anime]]
===Main series===
Clair appears in five episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]], toward the end of the [[Master Quest]] saga: ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', ''[[EP252| Fangs for Nothin']]'', ''[[EP253| Great Bowls of Fire]]'', ''[[EP254| Better Eight Than Never]]'' and ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''.
====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
[[File:Clair anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Clair in the [[original series]]]]
Clair hosted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} as they stayed in [[Blackthorn City]] from ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'' to the beginning of ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''. As Ash and his friends neared Blackthorn City, they discovered a {{p|Dratini}} and a {{p|Gyarados}} in a river. They discovered that both Pokémon belonged to Clair, who was following the Dratini down the river as it prepared to shed its skin. {{TRT}} snatched the Dratini, however, and Clair gave chase. Dratini escaped, and Ash fought to protect it. During the ensuing {{pkmn|battle}}, however, an electric shock was headed straight for Dratini, but Clair jumped in front of it to absorb the shock. Dratini witnessed its {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s devotion, and [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} in order to put a stop to Team Rocket. Later, Clair was finally able to perform an important ritual to purify the legendary [[Dragon Fang]] at Riverhead Falls. Afterwards, Clair went on to accept Ash's challenge for a {{Badge|Rising}}.


As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|company}} near [[Blackthorn City]], they discover a {{p|Dratini}} and a {{p|Gyarados}} in a river. They discover that both Pokémon belong to Clair, who is following the Dratini down the river as it prepares to shed its skin. [[Team Rocket]] snatches the Dratini, however, and Clair gives chase, demonstrating her highly acrobatic abilities. Dratini escapes, and Ash fights to protect it. During the ensuing battle, however, an electric shock is headed straight for Dratini, but Clair jumps in front of it to absorb the shock. Dratini witnesses its trainer's devotion, and [[evolve]]s into a {{p|Dragonair}} in order to put a stop to Team Rocket. Later, Clair is finally able to perform an important ritual to purify the legendary [[Dragon Fang]]. Clair then goes on to accept Ash's challenge for a {{badge|Rising}}.
In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Ash and Clair began their Gym battle. Clair quickly gained the upper hand, but the battle was cut short when Team Rocket stole the Dragon Fang. Ash, {{ashfr}}, Clair and [[Kaburagi]] chased after Team Rocket and they all ended up in the [[Dragon Holy Land]], where Team Rocket tricked a {{p|Dragonite}} into helping them. In the [[EP253|following episode]], {{jo|Liza}} and [[Ash's Charizard]] arrived on the scene, whereupon they helped calm down the raging Dragonite and put out the raging fire that threatened the Dragon Holy Land.


Ash has the first strike, but the battle is cut short when Team Rocket steals the Dragon Fang. Ash, Clair and Team Rocket all end up in the [[Dragon Holy Land]], where Team Rocket trick a {{p|Dragonite}} into helping them. Luckily, {{jo|Liza}} and [[Ash's Charizard]] arrive to help save the day. Ash's Charizard then helps him earn him his final [[Johto League]] badge.
Clair and Ash had their [[rematch]] in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''. Clair called on her {{p|Kingdra}}, but it was left exhausted by its confrontation against [[Ash's Snorlax]] and was knocked out by an {{m|Ice Punch}}. In the next round, Gyarados defeated Snorlax by {{status|paralyze|paralzying}} it with a {{m|Dragon Breath}} attack. Later, {{AP|Pikachu}}'s speed and super-effective {{m|Thunderbolt}} attacks helped him defeat Gyarados. Afterwards, Dragonair took out Pikachu and then faced off against Charizard. The round was initially in Clair's favor until Charizard managed to grab a hold of Dragonair and defeat it with a "Flaming {{m|Seismic Toss}}" combination, thus earning Ash his final [[Johto League]] Badge, the {{Badge|Rising}}.


Although Clair does mention [[Lance]] in the anime, he is not her cousin like in the games; instead, she recalls that he trained under her at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] before he joined the [[Elite Four]].
In ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]'', Clair informed Ash that the [[Silver Conference]] will take place in {{jo|Silver Town}}, located at the foot of [[Mt. Silver]], in three months.


===Pokémon===
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
[[File:Clair and Dragonair.png|thumb|250px|Clair in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'']]
Clair made a brief cameo in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' during {{an|Lyra}}'s introduction to [[Johto]], where she was seen in her [[Generation IV]] outfit.
 
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
[[File:Clair BW anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Clair in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
After a long absence, Clair physically reappeared in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', when she came to [[Cave Island]] in the [[Decolore Islands]] to hunt for a {{Shiny}} {{p|Druddigon}}. While there, she bumped into Ash and met {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and [[Alexa]]. She revealed that she {{pkmn2|caught}} the Dragonite from the Dragon Holy Land, which later had a fight with [[Iris's Dragonite]] after the latter crushed a flower. The Druddigon she was searching for went on a rampage on the island, but she was able to calm it down before it joined her team. Clair decided that she would next visit Iris's hometown, the [[Village of Dragons]], before meeting with fellow Dragon specialist and the [[Opelucid City]] [[Gym Leader]], [[Drayden]]. Before Ash and his friends left for the next island, Clair and Iris agreed to battle each other the next time they met.
 
After her travels with Ash, Iris traveled to Blackthorn City to have her promised match against Clair in [[BWS02]]. Clair first took Iris to visit the Dragon Holy Land so she could help calm down a {{TP|Iris|Gible}} that was damaging the city before having their match. Iris's Dragonite went up against Clair's Shiny Druddigon and lost the battle. Clair thanked Iris for the match and told her that being ambitious was important to becoming a Dragon Master.
 
=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====
[[File:Clair Iris Journeys.png|thumb|250px|Clair in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
Clair appeared in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' during a flashback of Iris's journey to become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Unova]] region.
 
====Character====
Clair is compassionate towards her {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon and all Dragon-type Pokémon in general. She confidently approaches them in spite of whatever outbursts of anger they have and can calm them down with her soothing words. She understands their feelings, and allows them to spend free time in the [[Dragon Holy Land]].
 
Clair's expertise is well-respected by other Dragon specialists. In the past, she mentored [[Lance]] of the [[Elite Four]] and her good friend {{jo|Liza}}, who protects {{p|Charizard}}. She is currently mentoring {{an|Iris}}. Clair encourages her students to be ambitious and determined, and like them, she continues to refine her skills. Her confidence and mastery is also seen when she {{pkmn|battle}}s a challenger.
 
Although Clair mentioned {{an|Lance}} in the anime, he is not her cousin like in the games; instead, she recalled having trained him, or rather him training her at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] before he joined the [[Elite Four]].

Clair also used her Dragonair in the rematch against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''. With its speed and power, it defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} easily.

During the rematch, Kingdra put up a good fight against Ash's {{p|Snorlax}}, but was finally defeated by Snorlax's {{m|Ice Punch}}. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP255|the next episode]].

Clair's title is "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon".


Decending from a long line of Dragon-type trainers, Clair speaks of herself as "the world's best dragon master". She claims she can hold her own even against the Elite Four.  Her only known loss had been to her cousin, [[Lance]]. Upon her defeat, Clair refuses to accept the challenger is better than her unless they pass the "dragon user challenge".

|desc={{p|Dragonite}} first appeared as a [[wild Pokémon]], being revealed to have once belonged to the original {{OBP|Gym Leader|EP253}} of the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. She went on a rampage when {{TRT}} tried to steal a sacred bowl of fire in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', but she calmed down later on in that episode.


In [[Pokémon Crystal Version]], defeating Clair would entail navigating the [[Dragon's Den]], finding the shrine at the center, and passing the Dragon User's Challenge given by the elder of the Dragon clan, Clair's grandfather. After some initial disbelief, Clair hands over the badge and encourages the player to win at Pokémon League, so that she wouldn't feel worse about her loss.
Clair was revealed to have captured Dragonite in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]''.


In Pokémon Gold and Silver, Clair would give out her badge only when the player went into the Dragon's Den and found a Dragon Fang. Once the Dragon Fang was found, Clair would appear behind the player and give him the Rising Badge.
Dragonite's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Outrage}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}}{{tt|*|Dragonite cannot legally learn Whirlwind}}.}}


When {{ga|Silver}} trains in the Dragon's Den, it's said he acts as Clair did in her youth.

Trainers in her gym: Cool Trainer Paul, Cool Trainer Martha, Cool Trainer Cody, Cool Trainer Mike, Cool Trainer Lola.
Druddigon reappeared in [[BWS02]], battling and winning against [[Iris's Dragonite]].


In addition to the Rising Badge, Clair gives out {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}.

Clair debuts in ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]'', where she expresses her disappointment at the lack of capable {{pkmn|Trainer}}s wishing to battle her. She heads off to Dragon's Den to train with the Pokémon inside, only to find them in awe of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Suicune}}. Suicune challenges Clair to battle and manages to defeat her. After it leaves, the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|Dragon Clan Elder]] explains that Suicune appears to Trainers it deems worthy and challenges them to battle. Clair deduces from this that Suicune must be battling the Gym Leaders to see which one is worthy enough to be its Trainer.

=====Round 2=====
At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Clair arrives with her fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. She is set to face against the [[Cinnabar Island]] Gym Leader, [[Blaine]], in the seventh round, but the match is postponed due to Blaine not feeling well. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Clair and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium.

===Quotes===
As they battle the army of Grunts, Clair suspects Blaine to be the one controlling the army. She attacks Blaine and states that they will have the seventh battle right there and now. She claims that since he was the last person to battle Lance, Blaine must know what happened to her cousin. With {{p|Entei}}'s strength, Blaine easily defeats Clair, thus ensuring the victory for the Kanto Gym Leaders. Blaine assures Clair that while he does not know where Lance is, he believes that he is still alive. After the Masked Man is defeated, Clair returned to her usual duties of being a Gym Leader.
===={{game|Gold and Silver|s}}====
''"I am Clair. The world's best dragon master. I can hold my own against even the Pokémon League Elite Four. Do you still want to take me on? ...Fine. Let's do it! As a Gym Leader, I will use power against any opponent!"''


''"I lost? I don't belive it. There must be some mistake... I won't admit this. I may have lost, but you're still not ready for the Pokémon League. I know. You should take the dragon user challenge. Behind this Gym is a place called Dragon's Den. There is a small shrine at its center. Go there. If you can prove that you've lost your lazy ideals, I will recognize you as a trainer worthy of a Gym Badge!"''
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====
Clair appears at the [[Whirl Islands]], where she looks for Lance after a call from him was cut off. When she finds {{adv|Silver}} there, she attacks him and demands to know what business he has with Lance. Silver explains that he isn't Lance's enemy, but they are surrounded by a group of {{p|Koffing}} before he can continue. Silver easily defeats the Koffing group and drives them away. Clair gives Silver the information about the call she had with Lance, which clues Silver onto where to go next.

[[Image:Clair.PNG|thumb|Clair in the manga]]
Clair was one of the first of the Gym Leaders to face {{p|Suicune}}. Despite her efforts, she was outclassed by its tactics, and lost rather quickly, due to Suicune's use of Mist to create a reflection or illusion of itself.


Later, at the Gym Leaders Challenge, she was to face off against [[Blaine]]. This was an important matter for her, because as [[Lance]]'s cousin, she thought that Blaine would know what become of Lance after Blaine and Lance's battle at [[Cerise Island]] the year before.
===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Clair PM.png|thumb|150px|Clair in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Clair appears in ''[[PM103|The Ultimate Battle...?!]]'', where she was hiding inside a giant Poké Ball from the [[PM102|previous chapter]] when {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} caused a rock slide in the [[Dragon's Den]]. Green was interested in Clair and wanted to go out on a date with her. However, she pretended to agree and Green went with her to the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. Red followed along and found Green and his {{TP|Green|Charizard}} brutally beaten by her.


During the attack by [[Team Rocket]], which ended up with all the Gym Leaders trapped on the recently completed bullet train, she forced Blaine into fighting their duel. Blaine quickly won due to {{p|Entei}}'s powerful attacks. Thus, the Kanto Gym Leaders claimed victory, with four wins, three losses and one draw.
Seeing this made Red's Pokémon scared and ran off. Red managed to get them back. When Red managed to get them back, Clair revealed herself to be a Gym Leader and had Red and his Pokémon find a way to get to her from the other side of the lava. After a failed attempt from [[Red's Clefairy]] in making themselves a bridge to get across, Clair got a bucket of water and a ladder to get them out of the lava.


===Pokémon===
With that done, she sends out her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to battle them. It took a combined effort of all three of Red's Pokémon to win. After the battle, Clair became depressed about the loss and the {{m|Double Team|clones}} of Clefairy and Tyrogue decided to cheer her up, leaving the real Clefairy and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} surprised about their actions.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|聖なるドラゴンポケモン使い!|Blessed Dragon Pokémon Tamer}}.
* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|聖なるドラゴンポケモン使い!|Blessed Dragon Pokémon Tamer}}.
*When Clair is beaten in the game, she is so impressed and frustrated, she refuses to give the player the Rising Badge. Instead, she sets the player on an extra task: He or she must go to [[Dragon's Den]] and retrieve the sacred [[Dragon Fang]]. When the player has done this, Clair, true to her word, arrives and hands over the badge as well as {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}. Afterwards, she says "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." The meaning of this was somewhat lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath". Despite this, a pun remains, as "dragon breath" is a term sometimes used for someone who has {{wp|halitosis}}.
* When Clair gives the {{player}} {{TM|24|DragonBreath}} in [[Generation II]], she says, "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." This was a pun lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath". Despite this, a joke remains, as "dragon breath" is a term sometimes used for someone who has {{wp|halitosis}}. Because she gives out {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}} in Generation IV instead, this joke was removed, though Clair does start to make a reference before becoming embarrassed. 
* Clair is one of the few Trainers to have battled Ash more than twice, although the first two official Gym battles were interrupted by Team Rocket. The other known {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to have battled Ash more than twice are [[Pyramid King Brandon]], [[Paul]], and [[Gary Oak]].
* Clair is the only [[Gym Leader]] to be seen in the English dub of the {{pkmn|anime}} before the original version. The U.S. opening [[Born to Be a Winner]] featured exclusive clips, one of them of Clair, not shown in Japan. The opening made its debut in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', which aired August 18, 2001; and Clair's Japanese debut wouldn't come until ''[[EP251|Beauty Is Skin Deep]]'', which aired on June 6, 2002. The only other character to debut in the U.S. first was [[Dr. Yung]].
* Clair is the only [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader]] whose team's Pokémon changed between {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** This parallels [[Giovanni]], who was the only [[Kanto]] Gym Leader whose [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} team was altered between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; both are the final Gym Leaders of their respective [[region]]s.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, many characters in-game make fun of Clair's outfit, including {{ga|Silver}}.
* In [[Generation IV]], after receiving the {{badge|Rising}} from Clair, if the player doesn't leave [[Dragon's Den]] on foot, but instead uses an [[Escape Rope]] or {{m|Dig}}, which will immediately bring them outside of the cave, Clair won't be able to give the player their reward [[TM]] until they speak to her again in [[Blackthorn Gym]]. The conversation will be largely the same, but this time, Clair will start by noting that the player has been keeping her waiting instead of rewarding the TM as an apology.
* In {{g|Stadium 2}}, Clair using an {{p|Ampharos}} in both rounds could be a reference to its Japanese name, Denryu, being able to be translated into "electric dragon". Perhaps coincidentally, Ampharos would get a {{type|Dragon}} Mega Evolution in [[Generation VI]].
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, if the player obtains a [[Dragon Fang]] through [[trade|trading]] before obtaining one from [[Dragon's Den]] and shows it to Clair, she will accuse the player of trying to cheat and not give them the {{Badge|Rising}}.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, if the player [[black out|whites out]] due to {{status|poison}} damage while still inside the Dragon Shrine after receiving the Rising Badge, they can return to the Blackthorn Gym to receive the reward TM from Clair. However, if the player returns to Dragon's Den and stands on the tile directly in front of the Dragon Shrine's door, Clair will appear again and give the player another TM24.

Clair (Japanese: イブキ Ibuki) is the Gym Leader of Blackthorn City's Gym, known officially as the Blackthorn Gym. She specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon, and she gives the Rising Badge to Trainers who defeat her. Her cousin is Lance.

In the core series games

Clair appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver as the Leader of the Blackthorn Gym. She is the eighth and final Gym Leader to be met in the Johto region, and defeating her will allow Trainers to advance to Indigo Plateau. Known as "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon", Clair is descended from a long line of Dragon-type Trainers including her cousin, Elite Four member Lance, and the master of Blackthorn's Dragon Tamer clan.

Clair is confident of her abilities as a Trainer, and speaks of herself as "the world's best dragon master". She can hold her own against the Elite Four: her only known loss is against Lance, now the Champion. Even if the player defeats her in battle, she refuses to accept their talents unless they pass the "Dragon-master challenge". The Rising Badge that victors of the Blackthorn Gym are entitled to remains in Clair's possession until Trainers have navigated the Dragon's Den and located a shrine at its center. Only then will Clair acknowledge her loss. She will also encourage the player to excel at the Pokémon League; this is mainly personal, so she will feel less upset about her defeat at the hands of a child. As well as the Rising Badge, she will also issue a Dragon Technical Machine: TM24 (DragonBreath) in Generation II; TM59 (Dragon Pulse) in Generation IV. Many of her own Pokémon know these moves in the respective generations.

The player's rival, Silver, takes to training in the Dragon's Den once the Elite Four have been defeated by the player. In this way, he is said to act as Clair did when she was young herself. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, once Silver has been beaten at Mt. Moon, Clair will appear in the Dragon's Den and team up with her cousin to face the player and Silver in a Multi Battle. She initially tries to partner up with Silver after he challenges Lance (who asks the player to be his partner), but Silver insults her outfit and asks the player to partner with him instead. She comes to the Dragon's Den every morning between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM after the player and rival defeat her and Lance, and will give her Pokégear phone number to the player. If called on Friday evening, she will journey to the Fighting Dojo and have a rematch with the player.

Clair hosted Ash and his friends as they stayed in Blackthorn City from Beauty is Skin Deep to the beginning of Why? Wynaut!. As Ash and his friends neared Blackthorn City, they discovered a Dratini and a Gyarados in a river. They discovered that both Pokémon belonged to Clair, who was following the Dratini down the river as it prepared to shed its skin. Team Rocket snatched the Dratini, however, and Clair gave chase. Dratini escaped, and Ash fought to protect it. During the ensuing battle, however, an electric shock was headed straight for Dratini, but Clair jumped in front of it to absorb the shock. Dratini witnessed its Trainer's devotion, and evolved into a Dragonair in order to put a stop to Team Rocket. Later, Clair was finally able to perform an important ritual to purify the legendary Dragon Fang at Riverhead Falls. Afterwards, Clair went on to accept Ash's challenge for a Rising Badge.

In Fangs for Nothin', Ash and Clair began their Gym battle. Clair quickly gained the upper hand, but the battle was cut short when Team Rocket stole the Dragon Fang. Ash, his friends, Clair and Kaburagi chased after Team Rocket and they all ended up in the Dragon Holy Land, where Team Rocket tricked a Dragonite into helping them. In the following episode, Liza and Ash's Charizard arrived on the scene, whereupon they helped calm down the raging Dragonite and put out the raging fire that threatened the Dragon Holy Land.

Clair and Ash had their rematch in Better Eight Than Never. Clair called on her Kingdra, but it was left exhausted by its confrontation against Ash's Snorlax and was knocked out by an Ice Punch. In the next round, Gyarados defeated Snorlax by paralzying it with a Dragon Breath attack. Later, Pikachu's speed and super-effective Thunderbolt attacks helped him defeat Gyarados. Afterwards, Dragonair took out Pikachu and then faced off against Charizard. The round was initially in Clair's favor until Charizard managed to grab a hold of Dragonair and defeat it with a "Flaming Seismic Toss" combination, thus earning Ash his final Johto League Badge, the Rising Badge.

In Why? Wynaut!, Clair informed Ash that the Silver Conference will take place in Silver Town, located at the foot of Mt. Silver, in three months.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Clair made a brief cameo in An Egg Scramble! during Lyra's introduction to Johto, where she was seen in her Generation IV outfit.

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

After a long absence, Clair physically reappeared in A Pokémon of a Different Color!, when she came to Cave Island in the Decolore Islands to hunt for a Shiny Druddigon. While there, she bumped into Ash and met Iris, Cilan, and Alexa. She revealed that she caught the Dragonite from the Dragon Holy Land, which later had a fight with Iris's Dragonite after the latter crushed a flower. The Druddigon she was searching for went on a rampage on the island, but she was able to calm it down before it joined her team. Clair decided that she would next visit Iris's hometown, the Village of Dragons, before meeting with fellow Dragon specialist and the Opelucid City Gym Leader, Drayden. Before Ash and his friends left for the next island, Clair and Iris agreed to battle each other the next time they met.

After her travels with Ash, Iris traveled to Blackthorn City to have her promised match against Clair in BWS02. Clair first took Iris to visit the Dragon Holy Land so she could help calm down a Gible that was damaging the city before having their match. Iris's Dragonite went up against Clair's Shiny Druddigon and lost the battle. Clair thanked Iris for the match and told her that being ambitious was important to becoming a Dragon Master.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Clair appeared in Thrash of the Titans! during a flashback of Iris's journey to become the Champion of the Unova region.

Character

Clair is compassionate towards her Dragon Pokémon and all Dragon-type Pokémon in general. She confidently approaches them in spite of whatever outbursts of anger they have and can calm them down with her soothing words. She understands their feelings, and allows them to spend free time in the Dragon Holy Land.

Clair's expertise is well-respected by other Dragon specialists. In the past, she mentored Lance of the Elite Four and her good friend Liza, who protects Charizard. She is currently mentoring Iris. Clair encourages her students to be ambitious and determined, and like them, she continues to refine her skills. Her confidence and mastery is also seen when she battles a challenger.

Although Clair mentioned Lance in the anime, he is not her cousin like in the games; instead, she recalled having trained him, or rather him training her at the Blackthorn Gym before he joined the Elite Four.

History

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Clair debuts in Debonaire Dragonair, where she expresses her disappointment at the lack of capable Trainers wishing to battle her. She heads off to Dragon's Den to train with the Pokémon inside, only to find them in awe of the Legendary Pokémon Suicune. Suicune challenges Clair to battle and manages to defeat her. After it leaves, the Dragon Clan Elder explains that Suicune appears to Trainers it deems worthy and challenges them to battle. Clair deduces from this that Suicune must be battling the Gym Leaders to see which one is worthy enough to be its Trainer.

At the Indigo Plateau, Clair arrives with her fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. She is set to face against the Cinnabar Island Gym Leader, Blaine, in the seventh round, but the match is postponed due to Blaine not feeling well. When the Masked Man attacks the Pokémon League, Clair and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled Team Rocket Grunts. The fight takes them to the Magnet Train, which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium.

As they battle the army of Grunts, Clair suspects Blaine to be the one controlling the army. She attacks Blaine and states that they will have the seventh battle right there and now. She claims that since he was the last person to battle Lance, Blaine must know what happened to her cousin. With Entei's strength, Blaine easily defeats Clair, thus ensuring the victory for the Kanto Gym Leaders. Blaine assures Clair that while he does not know where Lance is, he believes that he is still alive. After the Masked Man is defeated, Clair returned to her usual duties of being a Gym Leader.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

Clair appears at the Whirl Islands, where she looks for Lance after a call from him was cut off. When she finds Silver there, she attacks him and demands to know what business he has with Lance. Silver explains that he isn't Lance's enemy, but they are surrounded by a group of Koffing before he can continue. Silver easily defeats the Koffing group and drives them away. Clair gives Silver the information about the call she had with Lance, which clues Silver onto where to go next.

Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Clair in Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Clair appears in The Ultimate Battle...?!, where she was hiding inside a giant Poké Ball from the previous chapter when Red and Green caused a rock slide in the Dragon's Den. Green was interested in Clair and wanted to go out on a date with her. However, she pretended to agree and Green went with her to the Blackthorn Gym. Red followed along and found Green and his Charizard brutally beaten by her.

Seeing this made Red's Pokémon scared and ran off. Red managed to get them back. When Red managed to get them back, Clair revealed herself to be a Gym Leader and had Red and his Pokémon find a way to get to her from the other side of the lava. After a failed attempt from Red's Clefairy in making themselves a bridge to get across, Clair got a bucket of water and a ladder to get them out of the lava.

With that done, she sends out her Dragonair to battle them. It took a combined effort of all three of Red's Pokémon to win. After the battle, Clair became depressed about the loss and the clones of Clefairy and Tyrogue decided to cheer her up, leaving the real Clefairy and Tyrogue surprised about their actions.

Trivia

  • Her Japanese Leader title is 聖なるドラゴンポケモン使い!.
  • When Clair gives the player TM24 (DragonBreath) in Generation II, she says, "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." This was a pun lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath". Despite this, a joke remains, as "dragon breath" is a term sometimes used for someone who has halitosis. Because she gives out TM59 (Dragon Pulse) in Generation IV instead, this joke was removed, though Clair does start to make a reference before becoming embarrassed. 
  • Clair is the only Gym Leader to be seen in the English dub of the anime before the original version. The U.S. opening Born to Be a Winner featured exclusive clips, one of them of Clair, not shown in Japan. The opening made its debut in A Goldenrod Opportunity, which aired August 18, 2001; and Clair's Japanese debut wouldn't come until Beauty Is Skin Deep, which aired on June 6, 2002. The only other character to debut in the U.S. first was Dr. Yung.
  • Clair is the only Johto Gym Leader whose team's Pokémon changed between Pokémon Gold and Silver and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
  • In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, many characters in-game make fun of Clair's outfit, including Silver.
  • In Generation IV, after receiving the Rising Badge from Clair, if the player doesn't leave Dragon's Den on foot, but instead uses an Escape Rope or Dig, which will immediately bring them outside of the cave, Clair won't be able to give the player their reward TM until they speak to her again in Blackthorn Gym. The conversation will be largely the same, but this time, Clair will start by noting that the player has been keeping her waiting instead of rewarding the TM as an apology.
  • In Pokémon Stadium 2, Clair using an Ampharos in both rounds could be a reference to its Japanese name, Denryu, being able to be translated into "electric dragon". Perhaps coincidentally, Ampharos would get a Dragon-type Mega Evolution in Generation VI.
  • In Pokémon Gold and Silver, if the player obtains a Dragon Fang through trading before obtaining one from Dragon's Den and shows it to Clair, she will accuse the player of trying to cheat and not give them the Rising Badge.
  • In Pokémon Crystal, if the player whites out due to poison damage while still inside the Dragon Shrine after receiving the Rising Badge, they can return to the Blackthorn Gym to receive the reward TM from Clair. However, if the player returns to Dragon's Den and stands on the tile directly in front of the Dragon Shrine's door, Clair will appear again and give the player another TM24.
