Opal become a Gym Leader at the age of 18, inheriting the position from her mother. Due to having run the Gym for 70 years, she has become the Oldest known Gym Leader in the Galar League. She has been referred to as the “the wizard” due to ability to move in battle as if she could predict her opponents' moves.[1] At one point she fought a heated battle against Gym Leader Mustard, the latter who defeat her and then became Pokémon Champion. Later in life, believing she has reached the limit of her values, began searching for a worthy successor to her Gym since.
League Cards
This is a transcript of the back of Opal's League Cards 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 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 Balls.
Pokémon Sword and Shield
Opal will Gigantamax her Alcremie at the first opportunity.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Opal debuted in the Sword & Shield arc. She, along with various other Gym Leaders, was first seen reacting to the news that Leon had endorsed two Trainers for the Gym Challenge.
Trivia
- Opal's uniform number is "910", which can be read in Japanese as goroawase for キュート kyūto, meaning "cute".
- Opal is the only Gym Leader in Pokémon Sword and Shield who cannot be rematched.
- The in-game model of Opal has the logo of HIJIKI OKA printed on its uniform, similar to those of Ballonlea Stadium Gym Trainers and Gym Leader Bede. However, it is almost never 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 Trainers, Leon was hard to read and Sonia gave up a little too quickly.
