Professor Elm (Japanese: ウツギ博士 Dr. Utsugi) is the resident Pokémon Professor of New Bark Town in Johto. He specializes in Pokémon breeding, and is credited with the discovery of Pokémon eggs.

Elm gives one of the three starter Pokémon of Johto; Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile, to the player in Generation II so that he or she will have an easier time of getting to Mr. Pokémon's house.

Professor Elm in the anime
In the anime, Elm was the top student of Professor Oak, and often argues with him over their research. Elm is also well known for his very long and unnecessary speeches. He is also absent-minded and Elm has a habit of getting incredibly wrapped up in his research that he is completely oblivious to his surroundings. In the Brazilian dub, he is voiced by Fadu Costha (Johto saga).

Ash, Misty and Brock first met Prof. Elm in the episode Don't Touch That 'Dile. After a period of travel, they met up again while he was studying in the Whirl Islands with Captain Marius, and finally again when Ash returns to New Bark Town.

As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, he asked Ash to deliver an egg that had been poached from Mt. Silver to him. This hatched into a Larvitar, which Professor Elm then asked Ash to deliver to its home.
