* Opal's uniform number is "910", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for キュート ''kyūto'', meaning "cute".
* Opal is the only [[Gym Leader]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] who cannot be [[rematch]]ed.
* The in-game model of Opal has the logo of {{DL|Poké Job|List of companies|HIJIKI OKA}} printed on its uniform, similar to those of [[Ballonlea Stadium]] {{tc|Gym Trainer}}s and Gym Leader [[Bede]]. However, it is almost never visible during actual gameplay.
