-*Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|聖なるドラゴンポケモン使い！|Blessed Dragon Pokémon Tamer}}.

-*When Clair is beaten in the game, she is so impressed and frustrated, she refuses to give the player the Rising Badge. Instead, she sets the player on an extra task: He or she must go to [[Dragon's Den]] and pass the Dragon Elder's test. When the player has done this, Clair, true to her word, arrives and hands over the badge as well as {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}. Afterwards, she says "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." The meaning of this was somewhat lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath". Despite this, a pun remains, as "dragon breath" is a term sometimes used for someone who has {{wp|halitosis}}. Because she gives out {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}} in Generation IV instead, this joke was removed, though Clair does start to make a reference before becoming somewhat embarrassed.
+* When Clair gives the player {{TM|24|DragonBreath}} in [[Generation II]], she says "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." This was a pun lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath".

-*Clair is the only Gym Leader to be seen in the anime in the U.S. before she was seen in Japan. The U.S. opening ''[[Born to Be a Winner]]'' featured exclusive clips, one of them of Clair, not shown in Japan. The opening made its debut in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' which aired August 18th, 2001 and Clair's Japanese debut wouldn't come until ''[[EP251|Beauty Is Skin Deep]]'' which aired on June 6th, 2002. The only other character to debut in the U.S. first was [[Dr. Yung]].

 * Clair is the only Johto Gym Leader whose team's Pokémon changed between {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
-** This parallels [[Giovanni]], who was the only [[Kanto]] Gym Leader whose team was altered between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}; both are the final Gym Leader of their respective region.
-* Clair is the only Gym Leader in the rematches at the [[Fighting Dojo]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver who does not have any post-[[Generation II]] Pokémon.
-* Clair is the second Gym Leader to team up with a member of the Elite Four against the player's rival. [[Volkner]] was the first.
-** Coincidentally, both Volkner and Clair are the last Gym Leaders of their respective regions, the focal regions of even-numbered generations.
 * Clair appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. She uses a {{p|Dragonair}} in battle.
-* Strangely, the music used in her tag battle with Lance isn't either the Champion's theme or the Gym Leaders' theme, but rather the normal battle music for a Johto trainer battle.
+* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, many characters in-game make fun of Clair's outfit, including [[Erika]] and {{ga|Silver}}.
