* ITWasAGift: Her Low Amped Form Toxtricity in ''Masters'' came from an egg that Piers gave her.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: He looks like an older [[VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus Lian]], with both of them having the same cowboy hat and curly brown hair as well as sharing an interest in ores and rocks, but there's no offical confirmation that the two are related.

* YouGotSpunk: According to Lacey he was genuinely amused with Nemona trying to challenge him to a battle at a fancy dinner party back when they were younger.

* YouGotSpunk: This was his response to Nemona trying to challenge him to a battle at a fancy dinner party.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Literally the youngest Champion among the rest of the Champions.

* RaisedByWolves: The creators say that she was raised in a forest full of Dragon-types..

* {{Irony}}: Despite ultimately deciding she just isn't a good enough battler to seriously compete in Pokémon battles, her team can end up being more of a threat than Cheren's, largely due to better type distribution. She might not be on the level of ''champions,'' but it's implied she could probably get there with enough training and hard work.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: She's actually a rather competent trainer in her own right as she's capable of holding on her own against Gym Leaders in the PWT. However, Hilbert/Hilda, Cheren and N end up being much more powerful than her by the end of BW.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a ridiculously chill and laid-back guy whose Gym has trainers float around on lillipads to reach him and a theme that sounds like elevator music, but he's still the final leader fought even after the previously last-fought Drayden, and he has every bit of the strength to match.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: She wears a shirt that exposes her midriff, as well as short shorts with suspenders.

* AmbiguouslyRelated:
** He looks like an older [[VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus Lian]], with both of them having the same cowboy hat and curly brown hair as well as sharing an interest in ores and rocks, but there's no offical confirmation that the two are related.

* BoyfriendBlockingDad: While it’s not stated whether he actually takes action or if it’s just because of his reputation, a boy trying to ask his daughter Lacey out on a date immediately runs away when she mentions Clay is her dad.

** Going the other way, he's suggested to be the father of [[VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet Lacey]]. It's mentioned that the latter's father is one of Unova's Gym Leaders, and her SignatureMon is Excadrill, just like him. Their English names are even only one letter off from being anagrams while their Japanese names are both root vegetables.

* {{Superboss}}: In ''Black 2 and White 2'', she can be rematched in the post-game and is the second strongest trainer in the game behind Benga, who only has three Pokémon compared to Iris's full team of six, and on Challenge Mode her rematch team was the highest levelled Champion team in the entire series before surpassed by Cynthia in ''Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl''.

* FriendlyRivalry: At no point in the game does he ever challenge you for the sake of ''beating'' you and proving himself superior. As your best friend, he offers to battle you in order to test your Pokémons' strength, and after losing, shows complete confidence in your abilities and encourages you to continue on your quest to become the Unova champion.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: N unintentionally does this to him in ''Pokémon Masters'' during the Unova Villain Arc, addressing all other main characters with surprise before coming up to Nate with "And even Nate!" Justified, as Nate's Masters incarnation is the Battle Subway version that likely didn't see much of the Neo Team Plasma story to its ending personally.

* SignatureMon: Emboar from the animated trailer, being the starter he chose. In both the mangas he chose the Oshawott line, however. In ''Masters'', since all three Unova starters are already used by Hilbert, Hilda, and Rosa, his partner Pokémon is Braviary, referencing either: one of his possible Pokémon as a Battle Subway partner, a static encounter with Braviary in ''White 2'', or simply a nod to Unova's {{Eagleland}} inspiration, being an AmericanEagle Pokémon. His Neo Champion costume is partnered with a shiny Haxorus, a possible reference to the shiny Haxorus that can be encountered in the Nature Preserve.

* TheHeart: In his Neo Champion event, N points out that Nate is very emotionally attached to his friends that even he cried for N when the latter couldn't bond with his father Ghetsis who used him in a plot to get Zekrom. The story event develops further as Nate goes around Pasio helping people out, not minding that he may be wasting time before the tournament to pick the next Neo Champion, further symbolizing how he touches the hearts of others through his empathy as a NiceGuy.
* TheSmartGuy: His approach to double battles as an NPC in the Battle Subway. This is even pointed out in ''Pokémon Masters'' during his Neo Champion event.

* ExposedToTheElements: Taken to a huge extreme in the "A Pure & Touching Heart" story event in ''Pokémon Masters,'' where Nate just so happens to bump into Marlon in Pasio's thundra area, ''swimming in the cold waters like nothing.''

* TheSmartGuy: His approach to double battles as an NPC in the Battle Subway.

** Her [[{{JustForPun}} Hax]]orus in ''White'' version was under-leveled, just like Drayden's.
