Clavell (Japanese: クラベル Clavel) is a character in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. He serves as the director of Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV. He is the only character in the games to have the Trainer class Director (Japanese: 校長 Principal).

In the core series games

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
201

Clavell first appears as the host of the introductory video at the start of the game, welcoming the player to the academy as well as the Paldea region as a whole. On the player's first day as a student, he arrives at their house in Cabo Poco to give them their first partner Pokémon. Clavell leads the player to the house of Nemona, a Champion-ranked Trainer and fellow student, where Clavell asks the player to select a Pokémon. Nemona then decides to take one of the Pokémon herself to start anew, and Clavell takes the last of the first partner Pokémon remaining. After the player and Nemona battle, Clavell remains at Nemona's home in Cabo Poco until the two arrive at the academy.

Pre-game

In his youth, Clavell studied at the same university as Cyrano, who later founded Blueberry Academy in Unova. Later on, Clavell worked primarily as a Pokémon researcher and was part of the research team of Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV, investigating Area Zero. Jacq, the current biology teacher of the academy, worked alongside Clavell as his subordinate and is frequently at the receiving end of Clavell's criticizing. A year and a half before the events of the game, Clavell was named the director of the academy by Geeta.

★ Starfall Street ★

During the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline, he disguises himself as a student named Clive (Japanese: ネルケ Nelke) to support the player and learn the truth behind Team Star's reputation and actions.

Victory Road

Clavell appears as part of Iono's Gym Test, where he hides somewhere in three locations, the first location being the street connected to the Levincia Gym building, the second location being the street connected to the Levincia Pokémon Center, and the third location being the Levincia Gym's battle court. The player must use the street surveillance cameras to seek him. Iono refers to Clavell as Mister Walksabout (Japanese: ジェントルさん Jentoru-san) throughout the Gym Test. Clavell explains that he owes the Pokémon League "for many a past favor", which is why he agreed to help Iono with her Gym Test. For the first two locations, the player will always have to battle Iono's Gym Trainers, even if they found Clavell on their first try or not.

Post-game

After the player's adventure in Area Zero, Clavell thanks them, Nemona, Arven, and Penny for their efforts in stopping the professor's time machine, despite having had to go into the area without permission to do so. After giving the player a Master Ball, Clavell explains that while their deeds in Area Zero must be kept secret, the player's attaining of Champion rank deserves to be celebrated, and he and Nemona begin organizing a tournament to test the player's strength as a Champion. Known as the Academy Ace Tournament, Clavell gives the tournament's opening speech. After the player wins the competition, Clavell decides for more competitions to be held, and may appear as a final opponent in further tournaments.

Pokémon

Clavell's team will always contain the final evolutionary form of the first partner Pokémon with a type advantage to the player's chosen first partner Pokémon. This is likely the first partner Pokémon that remained with him after the player and Nemona chose their own first partner Pokémon at the beginning of the game. The remainder of his team will be based on his first partner Pokémon. Clavell also sends out a Pawmi during the game's opening cutscene.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Clavell will Terastallize his first partner Pokémon at the first opportunity.

Main series

Clavell in the anime

Clavell first appeared in HZ046. He was first seen with Geeta explaining the Terastal phenomenon and Naranja Academy's Terastal Training to Liko, Roy, and Dot. When Nemona joined them, Clavell asked her to show the new students around the academy. Later, when "Sandwich" and "Onigiri" arrived at the academy, Clavell noted they were not registered in the school's systems. He was then approached by Chalce, who promised to resolve the issue for him.

In HZ050, Clavell found Sandwich and Onigiri spying on Liko's group in Levincia. Believing the duo were interested in the performance of their academy colleagues, Clavell offered to accompany them to the Levincia Gym, only to be left behind while he was distracted. Shortly afterward, Clavell traveled with Liko and Roy to watch Dot's Terastal battle against Iono. After the battle, Clavell instructed Liko, Roy, and Dot to return to the academy while also doing reports on any wild Pokémon they encounter on the way back.

In HZ055, Clavell met the students taking on the Terastal Training course as they returned to the academy and announced the Elite Four Tag Battle, a friendly set of Tag Battles where students would get to team up with Gym Leaders against members of the Paldea Elite Four while waiting for their next assignment. He was later seen observing the battles alongside Geeta.

Character

According to Clavell, he has the habit of personally monitoring his students' performance, and seeing how well they do.

Pokémon Adventures

Scarlet & Violet arc

Clavell debuted in PASV01. He was first seen at Uva Academy's courtyard, hosting the opening ceremony for the Treasure Hunt. The presentation was interrupted by a student named Violet, who agreed to accept punishment if he was defeated in a race. Dendra accepted the challenge and competed against Violet alongside two other teachers. Although Dendra emerged the victor, Violet ended up running off with Arven to search for the Herba Mystica. Later, Clavell called the teaching staff in order to inform them of Violet's backstory and explain his behavior.

Clive in Pokémon Adventures

In PASV03, in order to deal with Team Star, Clavell and two teachers traveled to West Province (Area One). They witnessed Violet driving off a pair of Team Star Grunts trying to forcibly recruit a girl named Penny. Shortly after Violet and Penny went their separate ways, the former received a call from someone going by the name "Cassiopeia". The mysterious caller recruited Violet and Arven as members of Operation Starfall, a plan to defeat Team Star's five squad bosses and force the group to disband. When Violet and Arven arrived at the Segin Squad's Base, they were approached by Clavell. Disguised as a student named Clive, Clavell requested to be included in Operation Starfall, which Cassiopeia accepted. Violet was unable to see through his disguise, much to Arven's bafflement, but Clavell quietly told Arven to play along.

In PASV05, Violet and Arven battled through waves of Grunts while Clavell played support by healing their injured Pokémon. Once the Grunts were defeated, their boss Giacomo stepped out. Using the Tera Orb Clavell gave him, Violet defeated Giacomo, Accepting his defeat, Giacomo stepped down as a boss before revealing that Team Star's prolonged truancy was because they were waiting for their true leader, the "big boss", to return to them.
