At some point over the next two years, [[Alder]] decided to resign as champion of the Pokémon League and wanted Iris to challenge him for the title. Iris managed to defeat him and win the championship, with her following conversation with Drayden being depicted in a Memory Link flashback during ''[[Pokémon: Black and White Versions 2|Black and White 2]]''. Drayden reminisced about their time together and gave her some new clothes to wear as champion. He also gave her some advice, and Iris decided that as champion she wanted to help people and Pokémon to become even closer.

In ''Black 2'' and ''White 2'', she made a few small appearances before being challenged. She first showed up at Castelia City, where she helped [[Nate/Rosa]] to look for Team Plasma members and Burgh, though she was confused due to believing that Team Plasma had disbanded. Afterwards, she ran into the trainer again at Opelucid City, where she told them about Brycen and her connection to him.

In ''[[Pokémon Masters EX]]'', Iris and her Haxorus appeared as a playable sync pair and could be recruited by [[Scottie/Bettie|the player]] in Chapter 9 of the Main Story's PML Arc. This appearance used her original design from ''Black''/''White''. A variant of Iris in her champion clothing from ''Black 2''/''White 2'' was made available starting in March 2021 and was paired with [[Hydreigon]]. That variant could be unlocked at random through the game's Sync Pair Scout feature only during limited time periods. There was also a Fall 2022 variant paired with [[Naganadel]] that was available during limited time periods starting in October 2022. She has also been shown using [[Lapras]] sometimes when battled as an opponent.

In ''[[Pokémon Masters]]'', Iris and her Haxorus appeared as a playable sync pair and could be recruited by [[Scottie/Bettie|the player]] in the ninth chapter of the main story. In that chapter, Iris met with the player's group after she was recognized by [[Nate/Rosa|Rosa]], and she accompanied them while they fought off members of [[Team Break]] who wanted to steal her Haxorus. She was angry at [[Lear]] for being mean, not valuing Pokémon and not appreciating their attempts to help. She took on Lear in a one-on-one battle, with their Pokémon having an even match until Lear became annoyed with Iris's morals and decided to leave. Iris proceeded to challenge the player to a battle, as she was curious about team battles, and she joined the team after being defeated. She also appeared as an opponent in the Story Event "Two Champions", where she and [[Clair]] crashed a planned battle between [[Lance]] and [[Cynthia]], in order to challenge them as dragon masters. They teamed up with Rosa and were defeated by Scottie/Bettie and the two champions.

Iris proceeded to challenge the player to a battle, as she was curious about team battles, and she joined the team after being defeated. She later turned down an offer to join [[Clair]] and [[Lorelei]] in a team in Chapter 13.

In the Story Event "The Ideal Formula", Iris met [[N]] after he arrived on Pasio and battled him. They later teamed up in an effort to save Hilbert, Hilda and [[Cheren]] from [[Team Break]] members. Iris was also featured in the Story Event "Shining Heart of Dragons" with her champion outfit. In that event, a Festival of Champions was held to commemorate the arrival of champions from various regions in [[Pasio]]. Iris was plagued by insecurities about how well she matched up to the other champions due to how young she was, and her Hydreigon also went out of control due to [[Team Break]] device. Ultimately, [[Diantha]] and [[Lance]] were able to help her rediscover her confidence as a champion, and with some unseen guidance from Alder, Iris was able to talk her Hydreigon down from its rampage and defeat the Team Break member. In the Story Event "Otherwordly Encounter", Iris appeared in her fall attire and investigated reports of a poisonous monster with [[Allister]]. It was discovered to be a [[Poipole]], which Iris befriended, and [[Lusamine]] was convinced to let her spend some time with the Poipole to see if it could fall in love with life in Pasio. The Poipole soon evolved into Naganandel, and it chose to stay with Iris. For the Champion Stadium's Unova Challenge, which imitated the Elite Four line-up from the respective region, the final opponent alternated between Alder and Iris.

In this appearance, she was known as the champion of Unova (as in ''Black 2''/''White 2''), yet her design from the first ''Black''/''White'' was used.

*Iris was featured as one of the main characters in the ''Pokémon'' anime's ''Black'' and ''White'' series, as she and [[Cilan]] acted as [[Red|Ash Ketchum]]'s traveling companions during his adventures in Unova. She ws shown as a hyperactive and adventurous girl who felt at home in the wilderness. It was later revealed that she came from the Village of Dragons and was enrolled in Drayden's school at Opelucid when he took an interest in her. However, she felt homesick and ran away, eventually choosing to go on a journey and try to become a Dragon Master. A pair of episodes featured her meeting Drayden again and having an enjoyable rematch with him. Though she lost, he told her that she would be Opelucid's new gym leader one day. At the end of the Unova-based series, Iris left Ash to continue her own journey and spent some time in [[Johto]], where she met and battled [[Clair]]. She later reappeared in the ''Pokémon Journeys'' series, where she was shown to have become the champion of the Unova region and donned her ''Black 2''/''White 2'' outfit. She challenged Ash to a battle as part of the World Coronation Series in hopes of getting closer to her goal of becoming a Dragon Master.

She proceeded to cope with her loss and met [[Hop]] before returning to Unova, where she watched Ash's final battle against [[Leon (Pokemon)|Leon]] on a television from Opelucid Gym.
