Template:GymLeaderBoxDrayden (Japanese: シャガ Shaga) is the eighth and final Gym Leader in the Pokémon Black version only. His gym is in Opelucid City in the Unova region. Drayden specializes in Dragon-Type Pokémon. He will award the player the Legend Badge if the player defeats him. He is also the mayor of Opelucid City. However, in White, he allows Iris to battle you in his place for the Legend Badge.

In the anime
Drayden made his first unofficial appearance in a flashback of Iris in BW036: Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!. He congratulated Iris for her victory and gladly accepted a challenge from her. (Iris having said: "The next battle's our 100th win and it would be awesome to win against a Dragon Master at the same time.")
However, he appeared to be a very formidable opponent winning in just one move. Drayden and The Elder exchanged a knowing look, implying he was the one who asked The Elder to give Axew to Iris when she starts her journey.
