Clair

"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 Gym Leader, I will use my full power against any opponent! Don't think I will go easy on you."

- Clair, Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal.

Clair (Japanese: イブキ Ibuki) is the Gym Leader of the Blackthorn City Gym located in Johto. She uses -type Pokémon.

Games
Her Gym badge is called the Rising Badge and the TM she gives the player after beating her contains Dragonbreath. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is Dragon Pulse. In her gym, the trainer must use the HM Strength to push the boulders into the lava, eventually making a path to Clair. In her Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver gym, the player must rotate and move a platform over a series of lava pits. In both the original and the remake games, Clair refuses to give the Rising Badge even after the player beats her. She requires that the player goes to the Dragon's Den in order to earn the badge. In Pokémon Crystal, she still refuses to give the badge, but the player goes to the Dragon's Den to pass the Dragon users' challenge instead. After that, she gives the badge, scared of what will happen if Lance was informed.

Clair's Gym title is "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon".

Season 4: Johto League Champions
Clair, among other Johto Gym Leaders, appears in the opening scene of Pokémon: Johto League Champions.

Season 5: Master Quest
Ash and co. encounter Clair when they encounter both her Dratini and Gyarados. The Dratini was under her protection and she didn't want anyone to hurt it while it went through the process of shedding its skin. Clair has also proven to be quite agile when she was swinging from branch to branch to try and catch up with Team Rocket like a pro gymnast. When Dratini was about to be shocked Clair blocked it. This act moved Dratini so much it evolved into Dragonair who helped her beat Team Rocket. Later on it was revealed that she and Liza from Charific Valley have been friends since they were girls. After the ordeal involving Team Rocket and a Dragonite Guardian, The Gym Battle between Ash and Clair resumed, with Clair losing a well-fought battle and gave him the Rising Badge. She helped Ash look for all eight of his badges after he lost them but they managed to find them. She said goodbye to Ash and co. and wished Ash luck in the Johto League.
