Debut | Pokémon: Ruby Version/Pokémon: Sapphire Version |
Drake is the fourth and final member of Hoenn's Elite Four battled in Pokémon: Ruby , Sapphire and Pokémon: Emerald Versions as well as in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. He specializes in dragon-type Pokémon.
Background
Drake was the dragon master who served as the leader of Hoenn's Elite Four. He lived to battle every day in order to learn more about Pokémon and remarks on their nature, believing that the one thing needed to battle with Pokémon is a virtuous heart due to Pokémon touching and reflecting the good hearts of their trainers. His battle strategy was to harness strong abilities. He also seemed to have some history as a sailor and is known to have worked with Mr. Briney in the past.
In Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Drake is defeated by Brendan/May, leading him to conclude that they had the heart of a good trainer. He then sent the trainer onwards to face the champion.
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Drake could also be found aboard the SS Tidal, where he caught up with Mr. Briney and his Wingull, Peeko.

Drake uses the following Pokémon in Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:
- Shelgon (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald only)

- Flygon (2 in Ruby/Sapphire/Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, 1 in Emerald)
- Kingdra (Emerald/Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire only)

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he uses the same roster as in the first match, except that Dragalge and Haxorus are added to his line-up in place of one of the Flygon.
