To be honest, Hop has to be one of my favorite rivals. I can't tell
you how bad I felt when I kept beating him in battles and soon took
the title of champion when it was his dream to beat his brother and
become it.
Spoiler if you don't have The Crown Tundra dlc yet!
But when you get to the Galarian Star Tournament, you can choose
who you want to partner with and I chose Hop so we can battle
together again.
Sadly my brother and my best friend don't really like Hop but I
think he would make an awesome friend to have!

I like Silver. He's a very memorable rival to me and I like how his
character develops. He's cruel at first but learns to be a better
person and trainer.
