Clair appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Leader of the [[Blackthorn Gym]]. She is the eighth and final Gym Leader to be met in the [[Johto]] region, and defeating her will allow Trainers to advance to [[Indigo Plateau]]. Known as "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon", Clair is descended from a long line of Dragon-type Trainers including her cousin, [[Elite Four]] member [[Lance]], and the [[Master of the Dragon Tamer Clan|elder]] of Blackthorn's Dragon Clan.

Known as "The Blessed User of Dragon Pokémon", Clair is descended from a long line of Dragon-type Trainers including her cousin, [[Elite Four]] member [[Lance]], and the {{OBP|master|Dragon Tamer clan}} of Blackthorn's Dragon Tamer clan.


Clair is confident of her abilities as a Trainer, and speaks of herself as "the world's best dragon master". She can hold her own against the [[Elite Four]]: her only known loss is against Lance, now the Champion. Even if the player defeats her in battle, she refuses to accept his or her talents unless they pass the "{{tt|Dragon-master challenge|"dragon user challenge" in Generation II}}". The {{Badge|Rising}} that victors of the Blackthorn Gym are entitled to remains in Clair's possession until Trainers have navigated the [[Dragon's Den]] and located a shrine at its center. Only then will Clair acknowledge her loss. She will also encourage the player to excel at the Pokémon League; this is mainly personal, so she will feel less upset about her defeat at the hands of a child. As well as the Rising Badge, she will also issue a {{t|Dragon}} Technical Machine: {{tm|24|DragonBreath}} in [[Generation II]]; {{tm|59|Dragon Pulse}} in [[Generation IV]]. Many of her own Pokémon know these moves in the respective generations.

The player's rival, {{ga|Silver}}, takes to training in the Dragon's Den once the Elite Four have been defeated by the player. In this way, he is said to act as Clair did when she was young herself. She returns here from time to time, and will battle alongside her cousin against Silver and the player. She tries to partner up with Silver after he challenges Lance (who asks the player to be his partner), but Silver insults her outfit and asks the player to partner with him instead. She comes to the Dragon's Den every morning between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM after the player and rival defeat her and Lance, and will give her [[Pokégear]] phone number to the player. If called on Friday evening, she will journey to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and have a rematch with the player.

As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were near [[Blackthorn City]], they discovered a {{p|Dratini}} and a {{p|Gyarados}} in a river. They discovered that both Pokémon belong to Clair, who was following the Dratini down the river as she prepared to shed her skin. {{TRT}} snatched the Dratini, however, and Clair gave chase, demonstrating her highly acrobatic abilities. Dratini escaped, and Ash fought to protect her. During the ensuing battle, however, an electric shock was headed straight for Dratini, but Clair jumped in front of it to absorb the shock. Dratini witnessed her Trainer's devotion, and [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Dragonair}} in order to put a stop to Team Rocket. Later, Clair was finally able to perform an important ritual to purify the legendary {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. Clair then went on to accept Ash's challenge for a {{Badge|Rising}}.

During the battle, Ash had the first strike, but the battle was cut short when Team Rocket stole the Dragon Fang. Ash, Clair and Team Rocket all ended up in the [[Dragon Holy Land]], where Team Rocket tricked a {{p|Dragonite}} into helping them. Luckily, {{jo|Liza}} and [[Ash's Charizard]] arrived to help save the day. Ash's Charizard then helped him earn him his final [[Johto League]] Badge by defeating Clair's Dragonair.

Clair reappeared in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'' when she came to [[Cave Island]] in the [[Decolore Islands]] to hunt for a {{pkmn2|Shiny}} {{p|Druddigon}}. While there, she bumped into Ash and met {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and [[Alexa]]. She revealed that she caught the Dragonite from the Dragon Holy Land, which had a fight with [[Iris's Dragonite]] after the latter broke a flower. The Druddigon she was searching for went on a rampage on the island, which she was able to calm down, before it joined her team.

Clair debuts in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. She first appears in ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]'' expressing her disappoint at the lack of capable Trainers wishing to battle her. She heads off to Dragon's Den to train with the Pokémon inside, only to find them in awe of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Suicune}}. Suicune challenges Clair to battle and manages to defeat her. After it leaves, the [[Master of the Dragon Tamer Clan]] explains that Suicune appears to Trainers it deems worthy and challenges them to battle.

At the [[Indigo Plateau]], Clair arrives with her fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. She is set to face against the [[Cinnabar Island]] Gym Leader, [[Blaine]], in the seventh round, but the match is postponed due to Blaine not feeling well. When the [[Masked Man]] attacks the Pokémon League, Clair and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. The fight takes them to the [[Magnet Train]], which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium.

As they battle the never-ending army of Grunts, Clair suspects Blaine to be the one controlling the army. She attacks Blaine and states that they will have the seventh battle right there and now. She claims that since he was the last person to battle Lance, Blaine must know what happened to her cousin. With {{p|Entei}}'s strength, Blaine easily defeats Clair, thus ensuring the victory for the Kanto Gym Leaders. Blaine assures Clair that while he does not know where Lance is, he believes that he is still alive. After the Masked Man is defeated, Clair returned to her usual duties of being a Gym Leader.
