Hop is the {{player}}'s neighbor and [[rival]]. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, just like his older brother [[Leon]]. Hop starts his {{pkmn|journey}} with his [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]], {{p|Wooloo}}, and the [[starter Pokémon]] weak to the player's choice. After meeting a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 {{badge|Fire}}, 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 semifinals, Hop and the player search for Leon, who said he would be at the Rose of the Rondelands 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 [[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 {{p|Eternatus}} and the [[Darkest Day]].

In [[The Isle of Armor]], if the player has completed the post-game story and evolved their {{p|Kubfu}}, Hop will appear at the [[Master Dojo]] and assist the player in figuring out the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} ingredient required to make {{p|Urshifu}} eat the dish and gain the ability to Gigantamax. At first, he tests the nectars produced by {{p|Lilligant}} and {{p|Applin}}, but after deeming that neither of them seems right, he deduces that the honey produced by {{p|Vespiquen}} is the correct ingredient. He and the player then travel to [[Honeycalm Island]], where the player gets thrusted into a Max Raid Battle against a Dynamax Vespiquen. Once it has been defeated, the player will obtain a comb of [[Max Honey]], the required Max Soup ingredient. Hop will afterwards stay at the dojo, showing the player Pokémon they've not seen yet for their [[Pokédex]].

After the player has completed the events of The Isle of Armor and [[The Crown Tundra]], Hop participates in the [[Galarian Star Tournament]], and is one of two competitors that can be selected as a Multi Battle partner by the player in its first iteration, the other being [[Marnie]]. During the tournament, he will Gigantamax his starter Pokémon. In subsequent iterations of the tournament, he can optionally be chosen as a partner or faced as an opponent.

Hop then appeared more prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where he was revealed to be watching television with Wooloo so he could study [[Leon]]'s technique and figure out how to become stronger. However, his admiration of Leon's {{p|Charizard}} caused Wooloo to run away. This prompted Hop to desperately search around town for it. By the end of the episode, Hop was reunited with Wooloo, whereupon he promised it that they will both challenge the Pokémon League together, and assured that it was perfect the way it was.

Wooloo then appeared prominently in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where it became jealous of Hop's admiration of [[Leon]]'s {{p|Charizard}} and ran away from home. It eventually jumped off a cliff to try and fly like Charizard, only to fail. Wooloo was subsequently found by [[Milo]], who sent Wooloo home on the [[Flying Taxi]]. It reunited with Hop, who promised it that they will both challenge the [[Pokémon League]] together. He also assured that it was perfect the way it was.

In [[PASS10]], Hop informed Casey of an {{p|Arrokuda}} he spotted at a swamp earlier. Hoping it was one of her missing Pokémon, Casey grabbed Hop and ran off to go look for it. At the swamp, they successfully located Casey's missing Arrokuda, Kilo, only to find it was being eaten by a wild {{p|Cramorant}}. By combining his efforts with Casey, Kilo was retrieved, allowing Hop to catch Cramorant. Afterward, Casey thanked Hop and correctly guessed that he was actually the younger brother of [[Leon]].

In [[PASS16]], Hop encountered {{Henry}} at [[Ballonlea Stadium]], where they discussed their answers to the quiz given to them by [[Opal]]. Hop then went to have a Gym battle with Opal, which eventually ended with his victory. Later, after obtaining his sixth Gym Badge, Hop was approached by Marnie at [[Circhester]]. She asked Hop to come with her to [[Spikemuth]], stating that it would be too dangerous for them and Henry to enter the town by themselves. While they traveled, Hop revealed that Leon had offered to endorse him for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]], but he had turned it down, not wanting to tarnish Leon's name if he happened to lose after being endorsed by him.

In [[PASS24]], after arriving in Spikemuth, Hop and Marnie found [[Piers]] battling [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]]. Marnie stopped her brother from finishing Sordward and Shielbert off, allowing them to escape. After regrouping with Henry's group, Piers was informed by Leon and [[Sonia]] that [[Rose]], Sordward, and Shielbert were working together. Hoping to discover whether or not Rose intended on bringing harm to Galar, the Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]], but were stopped by [[Oleana]]. While Oleana kept the Gym Leaders busy, Hop, Henry, Casey, [[Bede]], and Marnie headed up an elevator to meet Rose, only to learn he wasn't in the building. Appearing on a video screen, Rose announced his intention to restart the [[Darkest Day]] and ensure the safety of Galar's future. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random.

{{main|Hop (Sword & Shield 165)}}

'''Hop''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets}} before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, with artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It allows the player to draw three cards, the same effect as cards of previous rivals.

* Hop is the only [[non-player character]] in Sword and Shield who uses two different [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon during the course of the game.  He Gigantamaxes his {{p|Corviknight}} in [[Wyndon Stadium/Champion tournaments|Champion tournaments]] and his [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[Galarian Star Tournament]]. This is likely due to the fact that {{p|Rillaboom}}, {{p|Cinderace}}, and {{p|Inteleon}} didn't receive Gigantamax forms until the release of [[The Isle of Armor]].

** Interestingly, the {{p|Rookidee}} used by Hop in the second battle couldn't have the Gigantamax Factor as it is caught before Hop ever visits [[Wild Area]].
