− | In | + | In ''Gold'', ''Silver'', ''Crystal'', ''HeartGold'', ''SoulSilver'', she was challenged and defeated by [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]], but she refused to admit defeat. Instead, she sent him to take the dragon user's challenge in order to prove his worth. In ''Gold'' and ''Silver'', this challenge simply consisted of retrieving the Dragon Fang, after which Clair recognized his true power and gave them the Risingbadge as well as TM24: Dragonbreath (or TM 59: Dragon Pulse in ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver''). |

+ | However, in ''Crystal'', as well as ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', the challenge was instead an oral exam that the Master of the dragon clan administered within the Dragon Shrine. Clair was later surprised to find that Ethan/Lyra had passed passed. After the Master confirmed this and threatened to tell Lance about her behavior, Clair finally caved and gave the trainer the Risingbadge. She later met him outside and gave him the aforementioned TM as a token of her apology along with directions on how to reach the Elite Four's headquarters. She asked the trainer not to lose to the Elite Four, or she would feel even worse about losing to him. The Master said that Clair had gained an invaluable lesson from the whole ordeal. | ||
In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', she would appear in the Dragon's Den every morning from 6 to 10 AM, where Ethan/Lyra could exchange Pokégear numbers with her, and after that, on every evening from 4 to 7 PM, they could take a picture together there. Calling her on Friday nights (between the hours of 8PM and 4AM) will cause her to appear in the Fighting Dojo for a rematch. Lance and Clair also confronted Ethan/Lyra and [[Silver]] at the Dragon Shrine when Silver began training there. Lance proposed a double match of himself and Ethan/Lyra against Silver and Clair, but Silver declined this team-up due to Clair's "embarrassing" wardrobe, and the match instead became Ethan/Lyra and Silver against Lance and Clair. After the dragon masters were defeated, Clair thanked the two trainers, despite the Silver's rudeness, for the battle and left. | In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', she would appear in the Dragon's Den every morning from 6 to 10 AM, where Ethan/Lyra could exchange Pokégear numbers with her, and after that, on every evening from 4 to 7 PM, they could take a picture together there.

− | Clair | + | Clair appears in ''[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'' as the eighth gym leader of the Gym Leader's Castle. In this game she has Kingdra, [[Ampharos]], Dragonair, [[Rhydon]], [[Arcanine]] and [[Lapras]] on her team in R1, and in R2 her team consists of [[Charizard]], [[Nidoking]], Rhydon, [[Gyarados]], Ampharos and Kindgra. She also appears as the eighth opponent in ''[[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]'', with Dragonair as her Pokémon. |
− | In ''[[Pokémon Masters | + | In ''[[Pokémon Masters]]'', she and her Kingdra appeared as a recruitable sync pair. She was featured and recruited in Chapter 13 of the Main Story. She had formed a team with [[Lorelei]] to compete in the [[Pokémon Masters League]], and she tried to recruit the young dragon trainer [[Iris]]. She refused due to already having joined another team, much to Clair's chagrin. Lorelei believed that Iris had taken a liking to Iris. [[Scottie/Bettie]]'s team then defeated the two of them in the tournament, at which point Clair decided to join their team. Clair was also featured as an opponent in the Story Event "Two Champions". Lance had recently arrived in Pasio and bested Clair in a battle. Eager on proving herself as the greatest dragon master, Clair teamed up with Iris and crashed the planned battle between Lance and [[Cynthia]]. Clair and Iris teamed up with Rosa and were battled by Scottie/Bettie, Lance and Cynthia. They were defeated, but Clair praised her Kingdra's performance, and Lance and Cynthia assured her about her potential. |

− | *Clair | + | *Clair appears in several subsequent episodes of the Pokémon anime which show [[Red#Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and friends helping her in the purification of the Dragon Fang, her battle with Ash, and their journey into the Dragon Holy Land to retrieve the Dragon Fang after it was stolen by [[Team Rocket]]. In this version, instead of being Lance's cousin, she was only a former pupil of his. She made another appearance years later in a special episode about [[Iris]]'s adventures in Johto following the ''Black''/''White'' series. Iris met Clair, and the two battled at Blackthorn Gym, which ened in Clair's victory. |
− | *Clair | + | *Clair appears in several installments of the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga. She is the first of the gym leaders to be challenged by [[Suicune]] and is enraged when she loses. During the gym leader's competition, she is set to battle against [[Blaine]] although the battle is cancelled after [[Team Rocket]]'s attack. While fleeing Team Rocket, she challenges Blaine to battle anyway to find out about [[Lance]]'s whereabouts, because he was the last person to battle him before he disappeared. Blaine is able to defeat her and admits he does not know where Lance is, but that he is surely alive. She appears again in the ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'' arc, where Silver finds her at the Whirl Islands while she is trying to look for Lance again following a call with him that got cut off. |

− | + | *In ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'', it seems to be a recurring gag that people find Clair's costume to be embarrassing. Prior to the double battle, this is the exact reason Silver gives for not teaming up with her. At another point in the game, [[Erika]] suggests something like Clair's costume as something [[Jasmine]] could wear to a contest in [[Sinnoh]], but Jasmine refused due to the costume sounding embarrassing, which Erika used to say that Jasmine considered Clair to be embarrassing, while Jasmine protested this was not what she meant. During a phone call, Clair actually overhears gossip that she is the latest name in fashion and is flattered, although it seems she may be misunderstanding it. | |
