Iris is an experienced Trainer and has been in many battles in the past. She has been portrayed as a sort of prodigy in the [[Village of Dragons]], and while there she had built up a 99-win streak with her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} before losing to Dragon Master [[Drayden]]. These experiences seem to have affected her, as she has a high view of herself and her abilities. Perhaps because of this, Iris typically seems to think of Ash as a little kid and often treats him like a rookie Trainer when he makes simple mistakes, despite that he too has had many adventures and accomplishments in the past. She is also shown to be slightly hypocritical since despite how commonly she refers to Ash's mistakes when she is usually known to make similar mistakes as well. However this critical view of Ash seems to stem from their first meeting, whereupon Ash not only mistook her for her Pokémon Axew, but attempted to try to catch one without battling it first. Her habit of calling out his immaturity and trying to show herself off as more mature also stems from the tough time she had in Opelucid City as a child, where her own childish and immature behavior had kept her from making friends and fitting in. Despite this, she is not above cheering Ash on during Gym and normal Trainer battles. Also, her calling Ash a kid has shifted from a critical tone to harmless teasing between the two of them, particularly as Iris comes more to term with her own immaturity. | Iris is an experienced Trainer and has been in many battles in the past.

Iris adores most Pokémon, often hugging them upon first meeting. On some occasions this is shown to be a bit invasive, which normally causes the Pokémon to attack her (such as with [[Ash's Pikachu]]). She has a particularly strong understanding of {{t|Dragon}} types and tends to be very excitable around them in particular, not showing fear even against a rampaging {{p|Druddigon}} | Iris adores most Pokémon, often hugging them upon first meeting. On some occasions this is shown to be a bit invasive, which normally causes the Pokémon to attack her (such as with [[Ash's Pikachu]]). She has a particularly strong understanding of {{t|Dragon}} types and tends to be very excitable around them in particular, not showing fear even against a rampaging {{p|Druddigon}}. Because of this strong passion, she aims to become a Dragon Master like so many others from her hometown. The one type she doesn't like is the {{t|Ice}} type, due to the fact that Ice-type attacks are super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon. [[Trip]] mentions that her fear of Ice types based on that is irrational, as Dragon-type moves are super effective against Dragon-type Pokémon as well. Iris shrugged this off, however, and mentions that she also doesn't like the cold. Iris is willing to overcome this fear, however, as shown when challenged by Georgia's Beartic and [[Dawn's Mamoswine]]. | ||
