Hop (Japanese: ホップ Hop) is one of the rival characters in Pokémon Sword and Shield, the others being Bede and Marnie.

In the games

Hop is the player's neighbor and rival. His goal is to become the Champion, just like his brother Leon. Hop starts his journey with his first Pokémon, Wooloo, and the starter Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After meeting a mysterious Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald and receiving an endorsement from Leon, Hop and the player board the train to Motostoke, and their respective journeys begin. While an outwardly earnest boy, Hop's dreams are cast into doubt after a crushing defeat at the hands of Bede soon after earning his Fire Badge, compounded by frequent losses to the player and the pressure of following in his brother's footsteps. Believing he is making his brother look weak, Hop begins using different teams to get stronger but still comes up short, losing his first challenge at Circhester Stadium.

After the player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero. Motivated, Hop tells the player he has made up his mind and will no longer doubt himself, challenging them with his new, final team led by his newly-evolved Dubwool. Hop is able to complete his Gym challenge and eventually meets the player as their second opponent in the Champion Cup in Wyndon Stadium. He is eventually defeated, and while visibly upset, Hop congratulates the player.

After the semifinals, Hop and the player search for Leon, who said he would be at the Rose of the Ronderlands hotel to join the two for dinner, but he did not show up. With the help of Piers, Marnie, and Team Yell, the player and Hop pursue a member of Macro Cosmos to Rose Tower, where they find Leon having a discussion with Chairman Rose at the top. Hop later appears to congratulate the player for clearing the final round of the Champion Cup, and after some encouragement by his starter Pokémon, he decides he is going to cheer for them over his brother. However, after Rose interrupts the Championship match, Hop suggests heading towards the Slumbering Weald to stop the return of Eternatus and the Darkest Day.

In the deepest parts of the Weald, the player and Hop are unable to find the mysterious Pokémon they once saw, and instead, they discover a Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. Hop takes the Shield^Sw/Sword^Sh and make way to the Energy Plant in Hammerlocke. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop join Leon, who tries and fails to catch Eternatus. After the player knocks it out, Eternatus turns into Eternamax Eternatus. Hop joins the player in a Max Raid Battle against it, but they are unable to do anything until they use the Rusted Sword and Shield to summon Zacian and Zamazenta. Through the combined efforts of Hop and the Legendary heroes, the player is able to catch and stop Eternatus.

After becoming Champion, the player meets Hop again in the Slumbering Weald where Zacian and Zamazenta once slept, saying he felt compelled to come there. After congratulating the player and having another battle, the player and Hop attempt to return the Rusted Sword and Shield, but are stopped by Sordward and Shielbert, who attempt to steal the artifacts. The player successfully reclaims their artifact in a battle with Sordward^Sw/Shielbert^Sh, but Hop is defeated by the other brother and loses his artifact. Feeling responsible, Hop quickly pursues the brothers, who are causing Trainers' Pokémon to Dynamax by force and run amok in Stadiums. While helping the Pokémon in Max Raid Battles with the player, Piers, and the other Gym Leaders, Hop expresses newfound doubts, thinking he is only dragging his friends down.

Hop and the player eventually corner the brothers at the Energy Plant, where they drive Zamazenta^Sw/Zacian^Sh into a berserk state by exposing it to Dynamax energy. The player defeats it in battle, and the Legendary Pokémon runs off after nearly attacking Hop, who was trying to help it. Hop goes after it, leaving Zacian^Sw/Zamazenta^Sh in the hands of the player, who is challenged by the other Legendary Pokémon. After the player catches Zacian^Sw/Zamazenta^Sh, they go back to the Slumbering Weald, where they see Hop soothing a distraught Zamazenta^Sw/Zacian^Sh. Thankful, the Legendary hero offers to join Hop's team. Hop then declares he has a new dream; to become a Pokémon Professor to help people like he did during the past incidents, but he also says that he will always see the player as a rival. With that, he and the player have one more battle, with Hop using his new Legendary partner. After the battle, Sonia offers Hop a position as her assistant to help with his studies, which he accepts.

After the post-game story, Hop can be rematched as one of the challengers of the Champion Cup. This time, he uses a Gigantamax Corviknight. While not battling, he can be found in Sonia's laboratory at Wedgehurst.

League Cards

This is a transcript of the back of Hop's League Cards in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Normal League Card

"This Pokémon Trainer got endorsed to take part in the Gym Challenge by his brother—the reigning Champion, Leon. Hop claims to have watched all Leon's matches. Commentators speculate that as a result, he might be quite the force to be reckoned with. The Champion himself has said that his brother has potential, but his carefully hoarded knowledge can go to waste as he tends to get easily flustered in battle. It's said that Hop's partner Wooloo is a great help to him both in battle and with chores around the house."

Rare League Card

"This Trainer ultimately was defeated in the final match of the Champion Cup Semifinals. However, many Gym Leaders speak highly of his battle style, where he will let his Pokémon battle freely and really enjoy themselves. During the incident with Eternatus, he provided vital assistance in resolving the situation, proving beyond doubt that he is a skilled Trainer in his own right. It is expected that his battles with the new Champion will be the stuff of legend."

"Hello, hello!"

"Oh! That your flash new phone, <player>?"

"Were you watching Lee's exhibition match on it?"

"But you can't cheer him on with your hands full!"

"You know the only way to properly cheer on would be with his famous Charizard pose!"

"Never mind watching the match now!"

"I've got it recording at home anyway."

"I record all my brother's matches."

"Come with me, <player>!"

"He should be here any minute!"

"And Lee always brings presents when he visits, so I wouldn't forget that Bag if I were you!"

"Now I've got to run! See you at mine later!

• Outside of Player's House

"Hahaha! Have a look at you, <player>!"

"That old Bag looks like it could pull you over!"

"At least we know that it should hold anything Lee might bring, even if it's as big as a Snorlax!"

"A Wooloo..."

"But what's it doing here?"

"Hey! You silly Wooloo! I see what you're up to! Don't go using Tackle on the fencing!"

"Now, you listen!"

"No going past that fence! No!"

"Everyone knows there are scary Pokémon living in the Slumbering Weald!"

"Now that that's taken care of..."

"How about it, <player>? Let's race!"

"Bet I can make it to my house first, what with you lugging about that big old Bag!"

• Hop's House

"Yeah, yeah! But where's Lee?"

"Have you got him crammed in a cupboard?"

"You know Lee is hopeless with directions."

"I'll make sure he doesn't get lost on the way!"

"You've got the come with, <player>."

"You've still never met my big bro, right?"

"You can't miss out on your chance to meet the undefeated Champion!"

"I'll wait for you out on the route!"

Route 1

"Let's get a move on!"

"Only remember, <player>..."

"Wild Pokémon could come out of nowhere if you walk through patches of tall grass."

"I've got my Wooloo with me, so I'm ready for battles against wild Pokémon, of course.

"But not you, <player>!"

"So we'll steer clear of the tall grass as we go."

If the player walks into the grass : "No wandering in that tall grass for you if you got no Pokémon of your own, mate!"

Wedgehurst

"Bingo! That's the sort of sharp eye that's kept you undefeated so long, eh, Lee?

"Come on, Lee! And you, <player>!"

"Bet I can beat the both of you back home!"
