'''Mai''' (Japanese: '''ヨネ''' ''Yone'') is a [[warden]] tasked with watching over a [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|special]] {{p|Wyrdeer}} found in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] of Hisui. She is a member of the [[Diamond Clan]].

She appears to be related to [[Marley]], having similar hair styles and colors, eye shapes, and naming schemes, Mai having Marley's Japanese name in the English version, along with posing on concept art, as well as Mai's hairclip being where Marley has her bow, but the exact relationship between the two is unknown.

==In the core series games==
===Character profile===
Mai grew up with her partner, [[Munchlax]], and the two were raised together as if they were siblings. She also considers [[Adaman]] to be her "little brother", whom she helped raise, although they are not related genetically. Her concept art also puts an Ursaring and Adaman's Leafeon together in this sibling tree, and Calens in the Diamond clan settlement claims she is their "littelest" sister, which seems to be supported by the concept art, which numbers all of the "siblings", but jumps up a number for Munchlax.

Unlike Marley, Mai is much less shy to talk and displays a somewhat laidback altitude. In the English version, she seems to somewhat dislike the Galaxy Team, saying that the player is not one of "the usual Galaxy buffoons" and says that she "will give [the Galaxy Team] that" for the Galaxy Hall, and often uses the expression "my, my" in the same version. She is often seen crossing her arms.

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
After completing [[Task (Legends: Arceus)#Requests|Request]] 102: "Daybreak", Mai can be found at any of the base camps. During a {{DL|Mass outbreak|Pokémon Legends: Arceus|massive mass outbreak}}, the player can feed her Munchlax five [[Aguav Berry|Aguav Berries]] to reveal which Pokémon are present in the outbreak. At the [[training grounds]] in [[Jubilife Village]], [[Ingo]] can also summon her for a [[rematch]] against the player.

===Pokémon===
Mai sends out all of her Pokémon at once against the player. Like all members of the Diamond Clan, Mai does not keep her Pokémon in a [[Poké Ball]].
