How Iris joined the Tourney
Iris is the eighth and last Gym Leader of the Unova region in the Pokémon White Version only. Iris lives in Opelucid City, and specializes in using Dragon-type Pokémon. She will award the player the Legend Badge if he/she defeats her. In the two year gap between Pokémon Black and White and Black and White 2, she has become the Unova League Champion.

After becoming the Unova League Champion, Iris decided to hunt for dragons. The oldest Pars Marzban, Bahman warned that instead of using Pokemon all the time, she must learn to fight with her fists if she is to kill a Red Dragon.

Death Dragon Flame (Final Smash)
Iris punches her opponent. If she does, she charges up with energy and says "It's all coming to this! My ultimate attack!" then rushes at the opponent with an image of a dragon surrounding her. She then pummels the opponent with a series of punches and kicks with images of dragon claws and talons coming off her hands and feet. She then kicks her opponent into the air and announces the Final Smash's name then shoots a qilin dragon of energy at the opponent, blowing him/her away.

Bonus Costume
Iris holds possession of one Bonus Costume, that which she wore in Pokemon Black & White. To unlock, one must kill 94 enemies in Smash Run. After the Smash Run is over, the announcer will say "You've earned a new costume!" and a Smash Ball (appears on the lower-right corner) will appear with a message saying "You've gained access to Iris's clothing from the first Black & White! Now go kick some dragon ass!" then, highlight Iris and press Minus.
