Trivia

  • Prior to version 2.22.0, there was a spacing issue with all Trainer names that contain apostrophes, including Lance (New Year's 2021): in level-up screens, these names each had a single-character-long gap between their apostrophe and the letter S. For example, New Year's 2021 was displayed as "New Year' s 2021."

Origin

Lance's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Dragonite is Lance's signature Pokémon in the core series games. Dragonite's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Lance uses Gyarados during most of his battles with the player in the core series games. Gyarados's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
