OPAL
Next up, we have Opal, the Fairy-type gym leader of Ballonlea. She is an elderly woman currently in the process of seeking out a successor so that she can retire, eventually finding one in your former rival Bede. Bede won’t be covered yet. As stated before, rivals turned gym leaders will be covered at a later date, as rivals have much more going on. That said, I will keep him in mind while making Opal’s moveset, to pull a move here and there from as a semi-clone.
Here’s the moveset I came up with:
Standard B: Alcremie
It will use Moonblast
Side B: Cake
She will pop out one of the cakes made during her contest in
the anime and eat it, restoring health
Up B: Glowing Mushroom
One of the giant mushrooms from Ballonlea will sprout from
the ground and she will ride it up.
Down B: Stat Boost
She will ask herself one of her gym questions, answer it
correctly, and give herself the corresponding stat boost.
Final Smash: Ballonlea Gym Fae Realm
She will send out Alcremie, Hatterene, and Grimmsnarl, all
in Gigantamax Form.
Entrance: Her opening ceremony walk.
Taunts: Up, butterflies will fly around her. Side, she will
sniff around like she did when meeting Bede. Down, she will stomp the end of
her cane.
Kirby Hat: Her hat
Kart: Based on Alcremie
Special Move: Stat Boost
Spirit Battle: On Slumbering Weald (omega form) with her
original team.
Victory Screen: She will sit back in a chair and smile with
satisfaction.
Losing Screen: She will hand over her badge.
Color Swaps: Her main outfit, based on Bede, the suit she
gives the trainer, based on Alcremie, based on Hatterene, based on Impadimp,
based on Galarian Rapidash, based on Ballonlea.
Thanks for reading! Next up, Gordie hits like a rock!
