===Character=== | |||
Drake is stern and often in deep concentration, which allows him to think clearly during a {{pkmn|battle}}. He takes the time to observe his opponent's strategies, and challenges out-of-the-box thinking {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s like {{Ash}} who will test his own abilities. Drake's strategy is dependent on which Pokémon he selects, and this varied tactic can often leave a challenger confused. For example, his {{p|Altaria}}'s wings help it evade and land sneak attacks, whereas his {{p|Shelgon}}'s high [[defense]]s make it ideal for tougher opponents. | |||
