** ''[[Pokémon X and Y]]'', the true Rival is Calem or Serena (same deal as Brandon and May, the unused playable character) while Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor act as secondary Rivals, though in this case, all are more frequently allies.

''[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]'' has Hau as the friendly Rival and Gladion as the darker type, while in ''[[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]'', the same roles are filled by Hop and Bede, respectively, adding Marnie as a third who falls somewhere inbetween. The ''Isle of Armor'' DLC adds the flamboyant performers Klara or Avery, depending on the game you're playing. Both are, in fact, rivals ''and'' Gym Leaders.

** Barring any future DLCs, ''[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]'' only has one Rival for now, Nemona. President of the Academy's school council and the protagonist's mentor and [[Fan-Preferred Couple|(possibly)]] girlfriend. Potentially the strongest Rival, she is the only Rival other than Blue to be the League Champion, but unlike Blue, has that title at the start of the game. Being the player's mentor, she in under self-imposed handicap through much of the game, only using Pokemon that match the (approximate) levels of yours, and unlike most primary Rivals, selects the Starter that ''your'' Starter has Type Advantage against.
