Sonia (Japanese: ソニア Sonia) is a character introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

In the games

Sonia is the granddaughter and assistant of Professor Magnolia. She is also Leon's childhood friend. Sonia and her partner Pokémon, Yamper, participated in the Gym Challenge with Leon, but eventually dropped out. Sonia spends the duration of the game discovering what she wants to do with her life, eventually choosing to pursue the truth behind the legends of the first king of Galar and the Darkest Day. Together with the player and Hop, she discovers the existence of Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus; and publishes her findings in a book, a feat that helps her be recognized as a Professor just like her grandmother.

"What is it today, Leon? Looking for info on another never-before-seen, superstrong Pokémon? I wish you’d stop with these outlandish requests."
"Tsk. What kind of an introduction is that? Did you forget we were rivals during our Gym Challenge? It wasn’t just Yamper helping you out. I did, too."
"Anyway, nice to meet you! Name’s Sonia. I’m the professor’s assistant."
"*sigh* What does he think I am? He’s always got his head in the clouds. It’s no wonder he gets lost all the time."
"Oh. Looks like you’ve got a Rotom Phone. Hey there, Rotom!"
"Rotom Phones are handy little things, aren’t they? They’ve got a map and a navigation tool. That said, Leon still gets lost, so…"
"Oh, sorry. So tell me, do you know a lot about Pokémon?"
You bet! :"Well said! In that case, I’ll make it so that you can use the Pokédex on your Rotom Phone!"
Not really... : "Don’t worry! Here, I’ll make it so that you can use the Pokédex on your Rotom Phone!"
"Just so you know, that Pokédex is a gift from my gran! Could you let Gran know that you received the Pokédex? She lives in the house down along Route 2."
If talked to again : "Leon’s a right amazing Champion, and I’m basically just an assistant... I’m not even Gran’s official assistant, either. I’ve just been calling myself one... Somehow, it makes me feel a little restless."
