Quotes
Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald
- Before battle
- "I am the last of the Pokémon League Elite Four, Drake the Dragon master! In their natural state, Pokémon are wild living things. They are free. At times, they hinder us. At times, they help us. For us to battle with Pokémon as partners, do you know what it takes? Do you know what is needed? If you don't, then you will never prevail over me!"
- When defeated
- "Superb, it should be said."
- After being defeated
- "You deserve every credit for coming this far as a Trainer of Pokémon. You do seem to know what is needed. Yes, what a Trainer needs is a virtuous heart. Pokémon touch the good hearts of Trainers and learn good from wrong. They touch the good hearts of Trainers and grow strong. Go! Go onwards! The Champion is waiting!"
- Over the PokéNav
- "That voice... <player>, is it? You sound well... I understand there is now a facility call the Battle Frontier that tests the skills of Trainers. However, if you wish to have real battles, there is no substitute for the Pokémon League! Don't you agree, <player>?"

In the anime
Drake is the only member of the Hoenn Elite Four to have appeared in the anime. His only anime appearance was in Vanity Affair.
Drake is a ship captain, and has an entire crew under his command. His first-mate is Fitzwilliam. After witnessing Ash and his Torkoal defeating another Trainer's Scizor, Drake meets Ash and his friends at a restaurant and invites them to his ship. Once on board, Max asks Drake to show them his Pokémon, and Drake invites Ash to have a Pokémon battle with him instead. Drake wins the match easily, helping Ash realize that he had been overconfident recently. When Team Rocket tries to steal Pikachu again after the battle, Drake blasts them off with his Salamence.
After Ash takes his Pokémon to the Pokémon Center, Drake also invites the gang to dine on his ship. During the meal, Drake tells Ash that he too once got overconfident and lost many battles because of it.
Pokémon
This listing is of Drake's known Pokémon in Pokémon anime:
| Debut | Vanity Affair |
|---|
Shelgon is the first Pokémon Drake used to battle Ash. Ash thought Pikachu's speed and powerful attacks would beat the slow Endurance Pokémon, but he did not take into account Shelgon's high defense. Drake's strategy was to calculate the damage from Ash's attack and wait until Pikachu was close enough (trying to use Iron Tail to finish off Shelgon) before he attacked with a powerful DragonBreath and Dragon Claw combo, winning the round.
Shelgon's known moves are Double-Edge, DragonBreath, and Dragon Claw.
| Debut | Vanity Affair |
|---|
For the second round, Drake used Altaria. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash chose Grovyle, thinking it would be able to use the ship's masts like trees. Still, Altaria won the round.
Altaria's known moves are Take Down, DragonBreath, Sky Attack, Aerial Ace, and SolarBeam.
| Debut | Vanity Affair |
|---|
When Team Rocket tried to kidnap Pikachu after Ash and Drake's battle, Drake was furious and unleashed Salamence on them. Salamence easily retrieved Pikachu and blasted Team Rocket away.
Salamence's known moves are Dragon Claw and Flamethrower.
