===Main series===
Drasna first appeared in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', where {{Ash}} saw her on TV, being revealed to be his next [[World Coronation Series]] opponent. Later in the episode, she was seen having a brief battle with [[Wikstrom]] at the [[Castle of Chivalry]].


* Upon being defeated
In ''[[JN104|Taking Two For The Team!]]'', Drasna and Ash faced each other at the [[Lumiose Conference]] stadium. She proved to be an extremely challenging opponent, but ultimately, Ash was able to defeat her, increasing his ranking. In this episode, it was revealed that {{an|Clemont}} had also battled her once and been easily defeated.

* After being defeated
====Character====
::'''If giving the {{player}} an item''': ''"And, my word, wouldn't this just go wonderfully with your look? Do try it!"''
Drasna has a very airy personality outside of battle. She is kind when referring to her opponents, offering them praise before and after a battle. Her gentle demeanor, however, drops just before and during battle, turning sickly sweet to the point where her opponents and peers are left slightly frightened. Even when irritated and frustrated, she still manages to maintain a smile, though there is a considerably less amount of warmth behind it at those times. Following her loss to Ash, she returns to her warm and amicable personality, offering Ash sincere praise, as well as becoming highly flattered at Bonnie's attempt to have her marry Clemont.
:''"Oh, you! You're too much! You and your Pokémon are simply charming!"''


* If the player is defeated
In battle, she utilizes her Pokémon's physical characteristics a great deal, such as Noivern's wings and Altaria's plumage to reduce damage. She combines such defensive strategies with powerful direct offense, enabling her to land multiple blows in quick succession to great effect.
:''"How can this be?"''

Character

Drasna has a very airy personality outside of battle. She is kind when referring to her opponents, offering them praise before and after a battle.

Even when irritated and frustrated, she still manages to maintain a smile, though there is a considerably less amount of warmth behind it at those times. Following her loss to Ash, she returns to her warm and amicable personality, offering Ash sincere praise, as well as becoming highly flattered at Bonnie's attempt to have her marry Clemont.

In battle, she utilizes her Pokémon's physical characteristics a great deal, such as Noivern's wings and Altaria's plumage to reduce damage. She combines such defensive strategies with powerful direct offense, enabling her to land multiple blows in quick succession to great effect.

Pokémon Adventures

Drasna debuts in Malamar Traps. She first appears as a fantasy when Diantha informed Korrina about each of the Kalos Elite Four. She later debuts in person alongside Wikstrom, where she assists X and Y's group in their quest to stop Team Flare. As they left to confront Team Flare at their hiding place, Drasna gives X's group a letter containing information about Zygarde. Later, Drasna battles against members of Team Flare at Route 22.

After Team Flare is fully defeated, Drasna, the remaining Elite Four members, and Diantha carry the unconscious body of Malva, who had turned out to be a member of Team Flare.
