Hop is one of the rival characters in Pokémon Sword and Shield, the others being Bede and Marnie.

After the player catches Zacian, they go back to the Slumbering Weald, where they see Hop soothing a distraught Zamazenta. 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 as he did during the past incidents. However, 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.
