'''Opal''' (Japanese: '''ポプラ''' ''Poplar'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Ballonlea]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as [[Ballonlea Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|GalarFairy|Fairy Badge}} to Trainers who defeat her. During the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], she chooses [[Bede]] as her successor and passes her Gym Leader title on to him.

==In the core series games==
Opal is designated the fifth Gym Leader [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Opal became the [[Ballonlea]] [[Gym Leader]] at the age of 18, inheriting the position from her mother, and she has held it for 70 years. As revealed in [[The Isle of Armor]] via [[Mustard]]'s League Card, 50 years prior to the events of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], he battled and defeated Opal in her role as Gym Leader sometime before becoming [[Galar League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Opal is also known by her nickname, "wizard", due to her supposed ability to predict her opponents' moves in battle.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/fairy-type-gym-leader-opal/</ref> Due to her old age by the time of Sword and Shield, her Gym mission doubles as an audition to seek a successor for herself.

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]]. She does, however, participate in the [[Galarian Star Tournament]].

After Opal's initial defeat, the player is awarded with the {{badge|Fairy}}, {{TM|87|Draining Kiss}}, and the [[List of clothing in Pokémon Sword and Shield|Fairy Uniform]].

===League Cards=== 
This is a transcript of the back of Opal's [[League Card]]s in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
;Normal League Card
:"Opal is the oldest [[Gym Leader]] in the [[Galar]] region. She took over for her mother 70 years ago and has kept the position since. However, she feels that her own values have reached their limits, and thus she is currently looking for a worthy successor. She claims that she gives deliberately tricky quizzes because people reveal their true colors when in a pinch, but many speculate that in reality, she does it out of pure spite."
;Rare League Card
:"Opal has thrust the duties of Gym Leader onto [[Bede]], who had his [[Galar League|Gym Challenger]] status revoked. That being said, she still shows up at the Gym Stadium every day, giving unsolicited advice, coming up with new quiz questions, and practicing various performances. What is this "pink" she insisted others show her? Maybe a clue lies in a comment she made during an old interview. "Keep thinking about the right answer, and eventually you'll create the right answer.""

===Pokémon===
Opal keeps her Pokémon in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

===={{g|Sword and Shield}}====
Opal will [[Gigantamax]] her Alcremie at the first opportunity.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Opal first appeared in ''[[JN055|The Tale of You and Glimwood Tangle!]]'', where she encountered {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] in [[Ballonlea]] and challenged them to a series of quizzes. In the process, Opal made them and their Pokémon wear pink clothes for each wrong answer they got. As [[Chloe]] reunited with the group, Opal revealed that she had asked the quizzes to keep the boys from recklessly searching for Chloe and let her come to them on her own. 

She reappeared again in ''[[JN082|The Sweet Taste of Battle!]]'', where she hosted a cake-decorating contest dubbed the [[All-Alcremie Decoration Challenge]] at the [[Ballonlea Stadium]], inviting Ash, Goh, Chloe, [[Raihan]], and {{an|Leon}} to participate. She loaned each contestant one of her {{p|Alcremie}} to provide them cream. After the cakes had been decorated, Opal tasted each of them to determine the winner, ultimately choosing Ash's cake as the winner. Unexpectedly, she then challenged Ash to a battle. During the battle, Opal [[Gigantamax]]ed her Alcremie and had her use {{m|G-Max Finale}} on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Eating all the cream created by the [[G-Max Move]] caused Pikachu to grow giant and fat, making him too full to continue battling, so the match was called off. Afterwards, Opal joined the contestants in eating all the cakes they had decorated.

==In the manga==
[[File: Opal Adventures.png|thumb|170px|Opal in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Opal debuted in ''[[PASS03|Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw]]''. She, along with various other Gym Leaders, was first seen reacting to the news that [[Leon]] had endorsed two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. In ''[[PASS13|Glittering!! The Tapestry in the Vault]]'', Opal arrived in [[Hammerlocke]], where she met [[Henry Sword]] and [[Casey Shield]], the Trainers Leon endorsed. After introducing herself, Opal briefly traveled with them to [[Stow-on-Side]] before returning to [[Ballonlea]].

In ''[[PASS15|Shocking!! Reunion in the Forest]]'', Henry arrived at [[Ballonlea Stadium]] to challenge the Gym, but was stopped by Opal, who refused to let him on the field until he answered her quiz. After giving his answer, Henry was told to wait for his turn while Opal battled [[Hop]]. Once the battle was over, Opal took on Henry, during which she made an announcement that she planned on retiring as Gym Leader after the Gym Challenge had ended. Henry eventually won the battle, he failed to meet Opal's expectations as a successor for her Gym. In ''[[PASS18|Chomp!! It's Dracovish]]'', she defeated Casey in a Gym battle, eliminating the latter from the Gym Challenge.

In ''[[PASS20|Cracking!! Brilliant Tap-Dancing]]'', Opal met with [[Bede]] at Ballonlea Stadium. Despite rejecting an earlier invitation, Bede decided to take Opal's offer to take over the title of Gym Leader. Opal quickly took a liking to Bede and accepted him as her successor. While Bede went through training, Opal questioned why [[Rose]] disqualified the boy from the Gym Challenge and decided to speak with the other Gym Leaders about the matter.

In ''[[PASS25|Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day]]'', the Galar Gym Leaders agreed to gather at [[Rose Tower]] to find out whether or not Rose intended on bringing harm to the region. Opal and Bede arrived first, but were stopped by [[Oleana]]. While Oleana kept the Gym Leaders busy, Bede, Henry, Casey, Hop, and [[Marnie]] headed up the elevator to meet with Rose, only to learn he wasn't in the building. Appearing on a video screen, Rose revealed that he would be restarting the [[Darkest Day]] in order to ensure Galar has a future. Power Spot lights then began appearing all over Galar, causing Pokémon to begin [[Dynamax]]ing at random. Opal traveled to the Hammerlocke [[Energy Plant]] with the others, but decided to head back to Ballonlea to help deal with the rampaging Dynamax Pokémon.

In ''[[PASS29|GRRR!! The Irrepairable Gears]]'', [[Macro Cosmos]] employees were dispatched to deal with the Dynamax Pokémon, allowing Opal's group to provide backup for the others against {{p|Eternatus}}. By the time they arrived, Opal's group found Eternatus had fled, leaving those who battled it unconscious and covered in poison. The injured were taken to a hospital to recover.

==Trivia==
* Opal was designed by [[take]].<ref name=takeSWSHCharDesign>[https://twitter.com/_take_oekaki/status/1565902892774871040 Tweet about designing all of the Gym Leaders for Pokémon Sword & Shield]</ref>
[[File:Company Icon HIJIKI OKA.png|thumb|150px|Icon of HIJIKI OKA, Opal's sponsor]]
* Opal's uniform number is "910", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Numeric substitution in Japanese|goroawase}} for キュート ''kyūto'', meaning "cute".
* Opal is the only [[Galar]] Gym Leader to not appear on the [[Isle of Armor]].
** She is also the only Galar Gym Leader to not be [[rematch]]ed in Single Battles.
* The in-game model of Opal has the logo of {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|HIJIKI OKA}} printed on her uniform, similar to those of [[Ballonlea Stadium]] {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s and Gym Leader [[Bede]]. However, it is rarely visible during actual gameplay.
* Opal has failed both [[Leon]] and [[Sonia]] for the audition of Gym Leader. Leon only got one answer correct, while Sonia answered all three questions correctly. Opal noted that while both were talented {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Leon was hard to read, and Sonia gave up a little too quickly.
* Following {{mas|Milo}} becoming a playable character in {{g|Masters EX}} on December 5, 2024, Opal is currently the only Galar Gym Leader who is not playable in the game.
