I take on the most powerful member of the Blueberry League Elite Four, Drayton uses Dragon-type Pokémon. While he was the strongest Trainer in all of Blueberry Academy, while this would have made him the Champion, Drayton was never interested in having that title due to having to take responsibility in being the League Club president. For interactions, aside from the other Blueberry Academy students, Drayton can interact with Hassel and Geeta, a Dragon-type Elite Four member and the Pokémon League Chairwoman, and another bit of trivia, Drayton will always be in the League Club Room, while the other two will be random.
Here is Drayton's team, which is the same as he had back in the Polar Biome Plaza, and despite his laid-back personality, Drayton is never to be taken lightly as he was the strongest Trainer in all of Blueberry Academy, and his Dragon-type Pokémon have ways to counter many different types.
Dragonite: Extreme Speed, Thunder Punch, Ice Spinner, Tailwind (Yache Berry)
Flygon: Earthquake, Stone Edge, Fire Punch, Breaking Swipe (Life Orb)
Haxorus: Earthquake, Breaking Swipe, Iron Head, Dragon Dance (Focus Sash)
Sceptile: Dragon Cheer, Leaf Storm, X-Scissor, Acrobatics (Weakness Policy)
Kingdra: Rain Dance, Ice Beam, Hydro Pump, Hurricane (Expert Belt)
Archaludon: Electro Shot, Draco Meteor, Flash Cannon, Snarl (Assault Vest)

Drayton leads the fight with a Dragonite with Tailwind and a Life Orb Flygon which knows Earthquake, making it a very powerful lead to the battle. Dragonite has a Yache Berry to reduce damage from Ice-types moves, unless you have a Triple Axel user to take advantage of its Multiscale Ability, and his Flygon has Breaking Swipe to reduce your Pokémon's Attack and can hit hard with Stone Edge and Fire Punch. Haxorus is a dangerous foe if it sets up Dragon Dance and it has Iron Head to counter Fairy-type Pokémon, and his Sceptile has Dragon Cheer to boost the critical hit rate of his Dragon-type Pokémon, and Dragon Cheer's effect boosts the critical hit rate of Dragon-type Pokémon higher than any other type, and it has a Weakness Policy, which will activate Unburden, and with Sceptile's high Speed, it can outspeed about everything. Kingdra can set up the rain to activate Swift Swim and deal huge damage with Hydro Pump, and his last Pokémon is Archaludon, which will Terastallize to a Dragon Tera Type. Archaludon now has Draco Meteor for a more powerful Dragon-type move, and with the Dragon Tera Type, the damage done by the move is massive, and Archaludon does have Stamina to boost its Defense if you hit it with an attack, and Electro Shot increases its Special Attack on the first turn before the user attacks on the second turn, but if the rain from Kingdra is active, Archaludon can use Electro Shot without having to charge, this can make it a very challenging opponent to deal with.
After the battle, Drayton gives you the Tracksuit (Black / Gold) as a gift, and on your third interaction, but for some reason it was the second interaction, as I don't seem to recall talking to Drayton before starting this video, but anyway, he will trade you a Duraludon for any of your Pokémon. It does come with a Partner Ribbon, giving it the title "Drayton's Duraludon", it has its Hidden Ability of Stalwart and it has an Electric Tera Type, but other than that, Duraludon comes with its normal level up moves and it has a Quiet Nature to work in Trick Room teams. The Electric Tera Type pairs very well with its evolved form Archaludon's signature move Electro Shot, I find it very strange that they gave Duraludon an evolution in the Indigo Disk update, because it had a Gigantamax Form in Gen 8, and Duraludon already had really good stats to begin with. Because of this, if you have a Duraludon that can Gigantamax in Sword & Shield, it cannot be brought over to this game.
