- Not to be confused with Drayden.
Drayton (Japanese: カキツバタ Kakitsubata) is a character introduced in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. He is a student attending Blueberry Academy, and a member of the BB League Elite Four.
In the core series games
Drayton has a friendly and laid-back personality. Although Drayton appears unserious, he is really skilled in battling. However, he also skips class often, apparently having to repeat a year three times as a result. Drayton comes from a prestigious family and is the grandson of Drayden, the Gym Leader of the Opelucid Gym. Through his grandfather, Drayton is acquainted with Hassel of Paldea's Elite Four.
Drayton was formerly the strongest student in the BB League until he was dethroned by Kieran. However, he never formally accepted the title of Champion since he did not wish to be the president of the League Club, thus allowing club work to be split equally between himself and the other members of the Elite Four. He is the strongest member of the BB League Elite Four, being situated at Polar Plaza.
Drayton first meets the player at Central Plaza after they've defeated Carmine and takes them to the League Club Room, where he introduces them to the BB League. Later at the cafeteria, he suggests to Kieran and the other Elite Four members that the player should be allowed to enter the BB League. After a vote between the five ends in the player's favor, Drayton helps them register for the BB League. Each time an Elite Four member is defeated, Drayton comes by to congratulate them. His Elite Trial forces the player to battle three League Club members using only Pokémon that were caught in the Terarium. After the trial has been cleared, Drayton can be battled. He rewards the player with TM226 (Dragon Cheer) upon being beaten.
After the player has defeated Kieran, Drayton is invited to join the player, Kieran, and Carmine in Briar's classroom, where she requests that they join her on an expedition to Area Zero. While the rest accept the request, Drayton declines, feeling too lazy to travel all the way to Paldea.
Pokémon

Trivia
- The pattern on Drayton's cape, which is worn as a 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.
- Drayton's Elite Trial is the only one that does not require the player to pay BP to attempt, as Drayton will pay in the player's stead.
- Drayton's Elite Trial and battle share similarities with Raihan's Gym Challenge and Gym battle in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
- For the respective challenges prior to the boss fights, the player faces three Trainers in Double Battles who do not use Dragon-types exclusively.
- Both Drayton and Raihan use a member of the Duraludon evolutionary line as their highest-level Pokémon.
- Both of their teams have multiple users of the move Breaking Swipe.
