Trivia
- His Japanese Leader title is スパルタン メイヤー / Suparutan Meiyaa. "Spartan Mayor"
- Drayden slightly resembles Reshiram, while Iris resembles Zekrom.
- Drayden is Iris' mentor and he plans to let her run the Gym when he retires (in White).
- His name slightly resembles the word dragon.
- He offers to teach Draco Meteor to the player after the Elite Four have been defeated the first time in White.
- Drayden and Iris use the same teams but have differences in gender and the ability of their Druddigon. Drayden has an all-male team with a Rough Skin Druddigon, while Iris has an all-female team with a Sheer Force Druddigon.
- In Pokemon Black and White, Iris and Drayden's Haxorus was underleveled as Fraxure does not evolve until Level 48. This was changed in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, with Drayden's Haxorus matching the exact level it needs to evolve from a Fraxure.
- He does not battle Ash as the eighth and final Gym Leader of Unova in the anime, as his gym is closed.
- He is the oldest final Gym Leader yet being older than Kanto's Giovanni and Blue, Johto's Clair, Hoenn's Juan and Sinnoh's Volkner.
