Lance is a tall, thin man with bright scarlet red spiked hair, pale skin, and dark eyes.

He wears a medieval-looking navy blue tunic with red-orange trim, a brown belt around his waist, and large black boots with orange two rings around the top of each boot. The cuffs of his long sleeves are black with orange zigzagging trim separating the cuff from the navy blue part of the sleeve. He sports a long, flowing cape around his neck which is black on the outside and crimson red on the inside.

In Generations I, III, and VII, Lance is the fourth and final member of the Kanto Elite Four. By the Generation II and IV games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to Red taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at Mt. Silver, and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.

He raises Dragon-type Pokémon and Pokémon that are dragon-like in appearance, which are both hard to catch and raise, and prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan following and seems to like capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the Celadon Department Store.

Lance's grandfather is the elder of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. Clair is his cousin, and his hometown is Blackthorn City.

He often Mega Evolves his Salamence or Charizard into Mega Charizard X and he often Dynamaxes his Dragonite or Gyarados.

He also works for an organization known as the Pokémon G-Men, with the aim of investigating illegal actions involving Pokémon.

His main team is Dragonite, Shiny Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Hydreigon, Kingdra and Salamence. Sometimes he use two Dragonair, Garchomp, Altaria Haxorus, Flygon, Alolan Exeggutor and Charizard.

"Allow me to lend you my strength, whenever you should need it. It's time to move!"

"I never give up, no matter what. You must be the same, am I right? The stronger you become as a Trainer, the better your Pokémon will respond to you."

"I'm both a dragon master and a Champion. As a Trainer, I strive to stomp out evil and rise to even greater heights! I hope to be the type of Champion who never forgets what it's like to be a challenger."

"There are a lot of dragon masters in Blackthorn City, where I'm from. My grandfather is the elder of a famous clan of dragon masters. He, his grandfather, and even his grandfather before him... Someday, stories about me will be passed down to future generations of our clan as well. If I think about it that way, it reminds me that I have to be on my best behavior. I'd like to be a good role model for all future dragon masters."

"I can't stand Trainers that cheat or use cowardly and underhanded tactics. Battles should be fought fair and square. Whenever you battle, make sure you keep it clean, too."

"This cape is a defining part of my wardrobe. I wear it rain or shine. Back in my hometown of Blackthorn City, my cape is like a uniform. When people see it, they know I'm a dragon master. I happen to like it quite a bit. It's a uniform that many aspiring dragon masters hope to wear one day.You want to know where I got this cape? It was actually custom-made at a department store. I can't resist buying more of them whenever I shop there."

"I asked my cousin Clair if she had any good ideas as to where I could find a cape to match this outfit. She said that capes are important...but also that traditional wear has its own unique charm, too! However, I personally prefer wearing a cape. I just can't do without one."

"Some people ask me why I use flying types like Charizard and Gyarados even though I'm a dragon master. Well, not all dragon Pokémon have to be dragon types! For me, Charizard and Gyarados are dragon Pokémon, even though they're not classified as dragon types!"

"My cousin, Clair, is the dragon-type gym leader of Blackthorn City. She and I were trained by our grandfather to be dragon masters since we were children. We both also love capes. Sometimes, she can be headstrong and doesn't take her losses well, but she is considered one of the strongest trainers in Johto."

"With so many people around, Dragonite might just want to take to the skies. Yeah, he's my trustworthy partner. He's got a heart of gold, though. Whenever he sees people or Pokémon in need, he helps them without a second thought. But on the other hand, he doesn't pull any punches against wrongdoers! See, I think it's important that Pokémon and people are able to spend their days in peace no matter the time or place. And if there's anybody who threatens that peace, I intend to be right there to protect it along with Dragonite!"

"Dragon Pokémon are very fascinating. It's hard to catch them, but it's so much fun training them. And their strength is out of this world! They make the best partners! However, Dragon-type Pokémon don't do well in the cold. It's not uncommon for me to huddle with mine in the winter to keep them warm. "If only there were a heated blanket big enough for a dragon Pokémon. Maybe even big enough to have a picnic on. Ha ha! I can't even imagine how big that blanket would have to be."

"Whenever I see Gyarados, I remember the Lake of Rage in Johto. There was once a red Gyarados raging and thrashing about there that had been forced to evolve by Team Rocket's radio waves. Back then, a really reliable kid about your age helped me sort things out."
