Professors ResearchSword & Shield #209 Pokémon Card

Professor Magnolia is a prominent figure in the Galar region, introduced in the Generation VIII Pokémon games, Pokémon Sword and Shield. As a distinguished Pokémon Professor, her research focuses on the Dynamax and Gigantamax phenomena, which are central to the game's narrative and battle mechanics. She is the grandmother of Bede, one of the player's rivals, and also serves as a mentor to Sonia, who later becomes the new Pokémon Professor of Galar. Unlike previous professors who often studied specific Pokémon types or evolution, Professor Magnolia's work delves into the unique energy that permeates the Galar region, allowing Pokémon to grow to immense sizes during battles. Her laboratory, located in Wedgehurst, is a hub of scientific inquiry, and she is often seen observing and documenting the effects of Dynamax energy. Her calm and wise demeanor provides a grounding presence in the Galar region, and her contributions to understanding its unique Pokémon phenomena are invaluable. She represents the ongoing scientific exploration within the Pokémon world, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is known about these fascinating creatures.
