Additional Rivals Revealed For Pokemon Sword & Shield!

Even though Hop will be the Main Rival within Pokemon Sword & Shield, players will have a number of other competitors that they will come across (and have to battle) during their adventures within the Galar Region. These additional rivals include Bede and Marnie, who were both revealed in the August Update. Bede is also trying to complete the Gym Challenge, having been sponsored by none than Chairman Rose himself. However, Bede will also have a few other intentions as well. As for Marnie, she is also hoping to become the next Galar Region Champion. Even though Marnie has no association with them, the Antagonist Group found in Pokemon Sword & Shield are fans of Marnie.
