In the anime
A Dragon Fang in the
animeA Dragon Fang first appeared in Beauty is Skin Deep as the treasure of Clair's family, kept in the Blackthorn Gym. It is the fang of an ancient Dragon Pokémon that terrorized Blackthorn City. The Dragon Fang is part of a ritual with the purpose of bringing peace to all Dragon-type Pokémon. The ritual involves the Blackthorn Gym Leader placing it on a special ceremonial table, then pouring water over it, causing a light dragon to burst out of it and rise into the sky. Legend says that this light dragon becomes a star and watches over all Dragon-type Pokémon.
In Fangs for Nothin', Team Rocket stole the aforementioned Dragon Fang from Dragon Holy Land, interrupting Ash and Clair's battle at the Blackthorn Gym. It was successfully recovered from them in the following episode.
Another Dragon Fang appeared in Showdown At Linoone as one of the items Tokin had picked up.
