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 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 [[Dragon Clan Elder|elder]] of Blackthorn's Dragon Clan.
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 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 {{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 his or her talents unless they pass the "Dragon User's Challenge". 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. She returns here from time to time, and will battle alongside her cousin against Silver and the player. She 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.

As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were near [[Blackthorn City]], they discovered a {{p|Dratini}} and a {{p|Gyarados}} in a river. They discovered that both Pokémon belong to Clair, who was following the Dratini down the river as she prepared to shed her skin. {{TRT}} snatched the Dratini, however, and Clair gave chase, demonstrating her highly acrobatic abilities. Dratini escaped, and Ash fought to protect her. 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 her Trainer's devotion, and [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Dragonair}} in order to put a stop to Team Rocket. Later, Clair was finally able to perform an important ritual to purify the legendary {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. Clair then went on to accept Ash's challenge for a {{Badge|Rising}}.

During the battle, Ash had the first strike, but the battle was cut short when Team Rocket stole the Dragon Fang. Ash, Clair and Team Rocket all ended up in the [[Dragon Holy Land]], where Team Rocket tricked a {{p|Dragonite}} into helping them. Luckily, {{jo|Liza}} and [[Ash's Charizard]] arrived to help save the day. Ash's Charizard then helped him earn him his final [[Johto League]] Badge by defeating Clair's Dragonair.

Clair was initially unhappy with the lack of capable Trainers wishing to battle her. Clair then traveled to the Dragon's Den where she met {{p|Suicune}} and battled it. Despite her efforts, she was outclassed by its tactics, and lost rather quickly, due to Suicune's use of {{m|Mist}} to create a reflection or illusion of itself. She then learned from the [[Dragon Clan Elder]] that the [[legendary beasts]] appear to Trainers they deem worthy which is why Suicune came to Clair. She then deduced that Suicune was looking for a worthy enough Trainer to be its master.
Clair debuts in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. She first appears in ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]'' expressing her disappoint 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 {{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.
[[File:Clair HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|100px|left|Clair in the ''HGSS'' chapter]]
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 became of Lance after Blaine and Lance's battle at [[Cerise Island]] the year before.


During the attack by {{TRT}}, 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.
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.
[[File:Clair HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|100px|left|Clair in the ninth chapter]]


She appears years later in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}. In ''[[PS445|Dealing With A Koffing Fit]]'', she appears in Lance's chamber at [[Whirl Islands]], searching for him and meets {{adv|Silver}}. After they fight many {{p|Koffing}} sent by [[Petrel]], Silver returns her the Gym [[Rising Badge|Badge]] he stole from her Gym. She tells him that Lance called her, mentioning the [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], {{p|Arceus}} and [[Plates]]. 
As they battle the never-ending 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.
 
In the {{chap|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 then gives Silver the information about the call she had with Lance, which clues Silver onto where to go next.

Clair appears in ''[[PM103|The Ultimate Battle...?!]]'' of the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga. She first appeared in the chapter 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. Seeing this made Red's Pokémon scared and ran off. Red managed to get them back. When Red managed to get them back, Clair then revealed herself to be the final Gym Leader of the Johto region. She then 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 latter to get them out of the lava. 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.

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

In the 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 his or her 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. She returns here from time to time, and will battle alongside her cousin against Silver and the player. She 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 makes an additional appearance in Pokémon Stadium 2's Johto Gym Leader Castle. This is the only appearance she makes where she uses Pokémon that are not draconic in origin.

Quotes

Pokémon Gold and Silver

Blackthorn Gym

  • Before battle
"I am Clair. The world's best dragon master. I can hold my own against even the Pokémon League's Elite Four. Do you still want to take me on? ...Fine. Let's do it! As a trainer, I will use my full power against any opponent!"
  • Being defeated
"I lost? I don't believe it. There must be some mistake..."
  • After being defeated
"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. Go and bring me the Dragon Fang from deep inside the Den. That is the test to be accepted as a true dragon user. If you can do that, I will accept you as a worthy trainer. Until then, I won't give you a Badge."

Dragon's Den

"All right. I recognize your true power. This Badge is yours."
"RisingBadge will enable your Pokémon to use the move for climbing waterfalls. Also, all Pokémon will recognize you as a trainer and obey your every command without question. I also want you to have this TM."
"That contains DragonBreath. No, it doesn't have anything to do with my breath. If you don't want it, you don't have to take it. So, you've collected all the Badges. Your destination is the Pokémon League in Indigo Plateau. Do you know how to get there? From here, go to New Bark Town. Then surf east. The route there is very tough. Don't you dare lose at the Pokémon League! If you do, I'll feel even worse about having lost to you!

Pokémon Crystal

Blackthorn Gym

  • Before battle

  • Being defeated
"I lost? I don't believe it. There must be some mistake..."
  • After being defeated
"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!"

Dragon's Den

"So how did it go? I guess there's no point in asking. You did fail? .................. ...What? You passed?" (steps back) "That can't be!" (steps back more) "You're lying! Even I haven't been approved!"
"I-I understand..."
"Here, this is the RisingBadge... Hurry up! Take it!"
"RisingBadge will enable your Pokémon to use the move for climbing waterfalls. Also, all Pokémon will recognize you as a trainer and obey your every command without question. I also want you to have this TM."
"Wait!"
"I'm sorry about this. Here, take this as my apology."
"That contains DragonBreath. No, it doesn't have anything to do with my breath. If you don't want it, you don't have to take it. What's the matter? Aren't you going on to the Pokémon League? Do you know how to get there? From here, go to New Bark Town. Then surf east to the Pokémon League. The route there is very tough. Don't you dare lose at the Pokémon League! If you do, I'll feel even worse about having lost to you! Give it everything you got."

  • Before battle
"I am Clair. The world's best Dragon-type master. I can hold my own against even the Pokémon League's Elite Four. Do you still want to take me on? ...Fine. Let's do this! As a Gym Leader, I will use my full power against any opponent!"
  • After sending out last Pokémon
"One last Pokémon? This is where the real battle begins!"
  • When last Pokémon is at critical health
"You're kidding, right? I'm supposed to win! I already decided!"
  • Being defeated
"I lost... I don't believe it. There must be some mistake..."
  • After being defeated
"I won't concede this. I might have lost, but you're still not ready for the Pokémon League. I know. You should take the Dragon-master challenge. Behind this Gym is a place called Dragon's Den. There is a small shrine at its heart. Go there. If you can prove that you've lost your lazy ideals, I will admit you are a Trainer worthy of a Gym Badge!"
"What's the matter? Is it too much to expect of you?"
  • After clearing Dragon's Den, if left without receiving the TM
"You've kept me waiting! Here! Take this!"
"That contains Dragon Pulse. Well, Dragon Pulse is kind of...umm... Never mind! It's a huge energy of some kind. If you don't want it, you don't have to take it."
"What's the matter? Aren't you headed to the Pokémon League? Your face...it tells me you have some unfinished business... Wait a sec! You came from New Bark Town where Professor Elm's Lab is, right? You may want to go back to New Bark Town. Whatever you have to face from now, it'll be more difficult. But don't you dare give up! If you do, I'll feel even worse about having lost to you! ...

Whatever you have to face from now, don't you dare give up! If you do, I'll feel even worse about having lost to you! Give it your all."

"Yes, it's Clair here... Oh, hi. How are you doing? Lately some people from the Radio Station came around, wanting to do a piece on me, or something. My fans definitely won't want to miss watching that! Oh, no! I was confused! It's radio! All those people turning in, and they won't be able to see my glorious face! What about TV? Why hasn't a TV crew come to do a piece on me?!"

In the anime

Clair in the original series

Clair first appeared in five episodes of the fifth season of the original series anime

As Ash and his friends were near Blackthorn City, they discovered a Dratini and a Gyarados in a river. They discovered that both Pokémon belong to Clair, who was following the Dratini down the river as she prepared to shed her skin. Team Rocket snatched the Dratini, however, and Clair gave chase, demonstrating her highly acrobatic abilities. Dratini escaped, and Ash fought to protect her. 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 her 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. Clair then went on to accept Ash's challenge for a Rising Badge.

Clair in the Best Wishes series

During the battle, Ash had the first strike, but the battle was cut short when Team Rocket stole the Dragon Fang. Ash, Clair and Team Rocket all ended up in the Dragon Holy Land, where Team Rocket tricked a Dragonite into helping them. Luckily, Liza and Ash's Charizard arrived to help save the day. Ash's Charizard then helped him earn him his final Johto League Badge by defeating Clair's Dragonair.

Clair 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 had a fight with Iris's Dragonite after the latter broke a flower. The Druddigon she was searching for went on a rampage on the island, which she was able to calm down, before it joined her team.

She reappeared in SS028, where Iris met her during her travels in Johto. Clair invited Iris to visit the Blackthorn Gym, where the two had a battle, which eventually ended in Clair's victory.

Although Clair did mention 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 joining the Elite Four.

Clair also used her Dragonair in the rematch against Ash in Better Eight Than Never. With its speed and power, it defeated Pikachu easily. With a wide range of moves such as Dragon Rage, it proved to be a tough challenge for Charizard as well. Eventually it was however defeated by Charizard's Seismic Toss, earning Ash the Rising Badge.

Clair in Pokémon Adventures

Clair debuts in the Gold, Silver & Crystal arc. She first appears in Debonaire Dragonair expressing her disappoint 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.

Clair in the ninth chapter

As they battle the never-ending 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.

In the 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 then gives Silver the information about the call she had with Lance, which clues Silver onto where to go next.

Debut Debonaire Dragonair

In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga

Clair in Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Clair appears in The Ultimate Battle...?! of the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga.

She first appeared in the chapter 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 then revealed herself to be a Gym Leader. She then 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 latter 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.
