Hop rediscovered his passion for Pokémon training while helping the player stop Sordward and Shielbert's schemes, and also realized that he enjoys helping other people with their problems. Hop's confidence issues however worsened again after the player became the new champion and his other rivals Bede and Marnie both became Gym Leaders, as he felt he was being left behind. Hop's involvement in stopping Eternatus' rampage and rediscovering the lost Legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta also helped his confidence issues. Despite this however, Hop once again was defeated in the championship finals, when this happened Hop was visibly frustrated but took the loss graciously. Nevertheless, Hop tries to keep a positive mind despite his repeated failures, and after some help from the player he's able to get back on his feet and catch up in time for the finals. Hop's confidence issues begin to affect his skill as a trainer, as he begins to erratically change his team without focus which in turn causes him to fall behind in the Gym Challenge. Opal pointed out that Hop's desire to copy Leon's steps is misguided, as he's more focused on living up to his brother's legacy than making a legacy of his own. Hop begins to suffer from self confidence issues after losing to Bede, causing him to feel that his own weakness damages Leon's reputation. Hop constantly tries to imitate Leon's style of Pokémon battling down to even copying Leon's gestures and poses. It soon made clear however that Hop has an inferiority complex, feeling that he's living under his brother's shadow. Hop initially seems to be cocky and overconfident, often proclaiming that he'll be the next champion and boasting about his skills as a trainer coming form being the champion's younger brother. Hop highly looks up to his older brother Leon, who is the champion of the Galar Region. Hop is an energetic and enthusiastic individual who enjoys Pokémon Training and engaging in friendly competitions with his childhood friend.
