Professor Magnolia: Difference between revisions

Professor Magnolia is a researcher who has been studying the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon for many years. It is said that the people of Galar were greatly excited when she presented her findings on the Dynamax phenomenon some years ago, which led to the use of the phenomenon in current Galar culture. She once helped [[Leon]] and [[Sonia]] start their {{pkmn|journey}}s as Trainers and Gym Challengers when they were younger.

Magnolia first meets the {{player}} and [[Hop]] at Route 2. She obtains their [[Wishing Star]]s to convert them into [[Dynamax Band]]s, and encourages Leon to endorse both of them to partake in the Gym Challenge. From there, she periodically appears in the story, her most notable appearance being in [[Hammerlocke]] upon request by Chairman [[Rose]] so that Rose may know more about Galar particles. Later on, she steps down from her position as Professor and hands over her Dynamax research to her granddaughter, Sonia. Sonia also continues to expand upon said research by studying the legends of {{p|Zacian}}, {{p|Zamazenta}}, and the [[Darkest Day]].

Eventually, after the player becomes Champion, Magnolia appears before the player at their house and gives them the Master Ball. She encourages the player to use the power of Dynamax correctly and for the good of others, likely out of partial feeling of guilt over Rose misusing the power of Dynamax energy and nearly causing the destruction of Galar.
