However, he also skips class often, apparently having to repeat a year three times as a result.^[2] Drayton comes from a prestigious family and is the grandson of Drayden, the Gym Leader of the Opelucid Gym in Unova. Through his grandfather, Drayton is acquainted with Hassel in Paldea's Elite Four.

Trivia

• The pattern on Drayton's waistcloth resembles the symbol icon that represents the Dragon type in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Pokémon Sword and Shield, Pokémon HOME, and Pokémon GO.
• Drayden is the only member of the BB League Elite Four to have a full team of his speciality type, if counting Sceptile, as it could Mega Evolve into a Dragon type.
• Drayton's Elite Trial is the only Elite Trial that doesn’t require any BP as Drayton himself will pay for it instead.
• Despite being Drayden's grandson, Drayton's Elite Trial and battle shares similarities to Raihan's Gym Challenge and Gym battle in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
  • For the challenge before the fight, the player faces three Trainers in a Double Battle who do not use the Gym's signature type.
  • Both of their aces are part of the Duraludon evolutionary line.
  • Both teams also feature the move Breaking Swipe prominently.
