'''Professor Augustine Sycamore''' (Japanese: '''プラターヌ博士''' ''Dr. Platane'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] from the [[Kalos]] region. He specializes in [[Mega Evolution]] and change.

==In the games==

The player first meets him in [[Lumiose City]], where he will battle the player and, afterwards, gives them one of the three Kanto starter Pokémon. On the way to [[Shalour City]], he will instruct the player to meet [[Gurkinn]], the Mega Evolution guru, to learn and get a better understanding about [[Mega Evolution]]. Later, he appears at the [[Coumarine City]] monorail station and talks to [[Diantha]] about Mega Evolution and how it may be possibly related to the bonds between Pokémon and their Trainers. There, he will congratulate the player for using Mega Evolution for the first time and gives them {{HM|02|Fly}}.

He feels disappointed when [[Lysandre]] reveals himself to be the boss of [[Team Flare]], but turns to his network of acquaintances to try to stop the villainous team's plan. He sends [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] to the [[Lysandre Labs]] in order to investigate Team Flare's interest in [[AZ]] and how to thwart their plans.

Sycamore debuts in person at his lab in Lumiose City, where he shows the footage Trevor recorded to Lysandre. Sycamore also gives a copy of the footage so that it may be used for further study.

Later, after Team Flare is defeated once and for all, Professor Sycamore, the Kalos Gym Leaders, [[Alexa]], [[Bonnie]], and [[Yvette]] congratulate X and his friends for their victory. Professor Sycamore proposes to have a party and parade as a celebration for their heroics, but Trevor declines, as he and his friends prefer to stick close to one another. Later, Sycamore talks to {{adv|Blue}} and [[Blaine]] about their involvement in the battle against Team Flare. Blue and Blaine reveal that after they witnessed Zygarde disintegrate into its Cells, they noticed a green figure from where it once stood. Sycamore reveals that similar creatures have been seen in the [[Alola]] region, and sends Sina and Dexio there to investigate. While Sina and Dexio are away, Sycamore has Trevor take their place as his assistant.

After returning it to Professor Sycamore, the Professor decided to have a battle with {{adv|X}} and chose Charmander to use against {{p|Chespin}}. Chespin was defeated by Charmander, and to Professor Sycamore's surprise, X took Charmander with him and named it Salamè.}}
