Slumbering Weald is a forest infused with the power of Zacian and Zamazenta. Hop has tamed one of these two great beasts, and the weald has rewarded him by allowing them to share their power with the rest of his team. Due to the ancient power present and how much time Hop has spent here, his Pokemon can find themselves capable of feats they ordinarily would not be able to perform.
- Intrepid Sword and Dauntless Shield apply their boost to all members of Hop's team.
- Hop's Zacian and Zamazenta naturally take their Crowned formes without needing to hold a Rusted Sword or Rusted Shield.
- All of Hop's Pokemon gain access to the move Hidden Power, but Physical rather than Special. They may specify its type upon first use and it will remain that type for the rest of the battle.
- Since Hop knows about type matchups, all super effective attacks that he uses get +2 final damage.
- Hop's Inteleon is an incredibly precise sniper, able to use physical or special aspects for any of its attacks at will. All attacks will work off of Inteleon's higher offensive rank, with boosts in whichever offensive stat has more boosts, against the foe's lower defensive rank, with drops in whichever defensive stat has more drops. Also, Counter and Mirror Coat will always fail against it.
- Camouflage turns the user into a Grass type
- Secret Power may cause sleep
- Nature Power becomes Energy Ball
