==Summary==
Bede (Japanese: ビート Beet) is one of the rival characters in Pokémon Sword and Shield, the others being Hop and Marnie. He initially specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon, but is eventually scouted by Opal to succeed her as a Fairy-type Gym Leader, and thus changes his specialty type accordingly. As the Gym Leader of Ballonlea Stadium, he gives the Fairy Badge to Trainers who defeat him.
