Professor Magnolia in Pokémon Adventures

Professor Magnolia debuted in the Sword & Shield arc.

When Shirudomiria scared a young boy, Marvin, with a big mask, Professor Magnolia scolded her for such mischief. Shirudomiria claimed the mask looked cute, but Magnolia cut her talk. She asked Marvin why did he run off a cliff, to which he explained that he had seen a giant Pangoro. The old woman knew this was Shirudomiria's fault, who explained she made a Dynamax Simulation. Marvin was a bit scared, and only wanted to thank the guy that saved him. Magnolia and Shirudomiria took him to Sōdo Tsurugi, who was sharpening a Sirfetch'd leek. When Marvin thanked him, Shirudomiria thought he could learn more about the Dynamax, to which Magnolia suggested using VR goggles. Shirudomiria gave Marvin the goggles to see the giant Pangoro again. As he unequipped the mask, Marvin asked who these people were, to which Sōdo, Shirudomiria and Magnolia introduced themselves.

Having met Marvin, Shirudomiria put the latter on the VR goggles. Professor Magnolia activated the simulation, so Sōdo and Shirudomiria could show Marvin how to battle against a giant Dynamax Pangoro. With a bit of guidance, Marvin was persuaded into joining Shirudomiria and Sōdo on the journey for the Gym challenge. Magnolia approved of that, and called Marvin's parents, who let him accompany them. As they continued on, Magnolia explained she was the lead researcher on Dynamax, the phenomenon that caused Pokémon to grow to huge sizes. She found out one had to be located on a Power Spot for the phenomenon to occur.

As the group had dinner, they watched a show where the Champion, Leon, was supposed to appear. However, the announcer explained Leon could not made it due to his train getting stuck. The group looked outside, seeing that Leon was actually herding Wooloo to let the train pass, but failed. After Sōdo and Shirudomiria helped Leon, just before he went on the train, he was approached by Professor Magnolia, and was told that Sōdo and Shirudomiria were her assistants. After Magnolia asked him to tell Sonia, who was doing her work around the region, to visit the Champion Cup, Leon took the train.
