Opal is first seen at [[Motostoke Stadium]] for the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony. She later appears on {{rt|6|Galar}}, watching as the player and [[Hop]] battle a pair of {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s, and at [[Stow-on-Side]] to observe the player's battle with Hop. After being defeated in a Gym battle, she offers to escort the player to [[Hammerlocke]] so that they can get to their next Gym sooner. In Hammerlocke, she notices [[Bede]] and instantly sees him as a worthy successor, taking him with her back to Ballonlea. By the time of the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon]], Opal has officially passed her mantle as a Fairy-type Gym Leader to Bede, although she still occasionally shows up at the Gym to give him advice. Due to her retirement, Opal does not participate in the post-game [[Wyndon Stadium/Champion tournaments|Champion tournaments]]. | Opal is first seen at [[Motostoke Stadium]] for the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony.
