Hop starts his {{pkmn|journey}} with his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], {{p|Wooloo}}, and the [[first partner 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 player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero. Motivated, Hop tells the player he has made up his mind and will no longer doubt himself, challenging them with his new, final team led by his newly-evolved {{p|Dubwool}}. Hop completes his Gym challenge and eventually meets the player as their second opponent in the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon Stadium]]. He is eventually defeated, and while visibly upset, Hop congratulates the player. | After the player wins at Circhester Stadium, Hop and the player learn more about the mysterious Pokémon of Slumbering Weald and their relationship to the hero.

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 from his first partner 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 deepest parts of the Weald, the player and Hop are unable to find the mysterious Pokémon they once saw, and instead, they discover a [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]]. Hop takes the Shield{{sup/8|Sw}}/Sword{{sup/8|Sh}} and make way to the [[Energy Plant]] in [[Hammerlocke]]. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop join Leon, who tries and fails to catch Eternatus. After the player knocks it out, Eternatus turns into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Eternatus|Eternamax}} Eternatus. Hop joins the player in a [[Max Raid Battle]] against it, but they are unable to do anything until they use the Rusted Sword and Shield to summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}. Through the combined efforts of Hop and the {{pkmn2|Legendary}} heroes, the player can catch and stop Eternatus. | In the deepest parts of the Weald, the player and Hop are unable to find the mysterious Pokémon they once saw, and instead, they discover a [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]].

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 thrust 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]]. | 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.
