Professor Magnolia (Japanese: マグノリア博士 Dr. Magnolia) is a Pokémon Professor from the Galar region. She specializes in Dynamax.
In the games
Professor Magnolia is a researcher who has been studying the Dynamax phenomenon for many years. It is said that the people of Galar were greatly excited when she presented her findings on the Dynamax phenomenon some years ago, which led to the use of the phenomenon in current Galar culture. She once helped Leon and Sonia start their journeys as Trainers and Gym Challengers when they were younger.
Magnolia first meets the player and Hop at Route 2. She obtains their Wishing Stars to convert them into Dynamax Bands, and encourages Leon to endorse both of them to partake in the Gym Challenge. From there, she periodically appears in the story, her most notable appearance being in Hammerlocke upon request by Chairman Rose so that Rose may know more about Galar particles. Later on, she steps down from her position as Professor and hands over her Dynamax research to her granddaughter, Sonia. Sonia also continues to expand upon said research by studying the legends of Zacian, Zamazenta, and the Darkest Day.
Eventually, after the player becomes Champion, Magnolia appears before the player at their house and gives them the Master Ball. She encourages the player to use the power of Dynamax correctly and for the good of others, likely out of partial feeling of guilt over Rose misusing the power of Dynamax energy and nearly causing the destruction of Galar.
In Pokémon GO, Professor Willow mentions that Magnolia is one of his colleagues.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Professor Magnolia debuted in Wow!! That's One Big Pokémon. She researches the Dynamax phenomenon with her assistants, Henry, Casey, and Marvin. The group travels and sleeps in Professor Magnolia's mobile home, the (Japanese: マグノリア号 Magnolia).
She was first seen meeting a boy named Marvin who was rescued from falling off a cliff by Henry. After proper introductions were made, Henry, Casey, and Marvin participated in a Dynamax simulation where they fought and defeated a Dynamax Pangoro hologram. The battle gave Marvin the confidence to set on a Pokémon journey of his own. With approval from his parents, Marvin joined Magnolia and her assistants on their quest to study Dynamax.
In Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw, Magnolia's trailer house was attacked by a trio of wild Drednaw. In order to battle the Bite Pokémon, Henry and Casey each received a Rotom Phone with a Pokédex function installed from Magnolia, officially making them both Pokédex holders. After the Drednaw were defeated, Magnolia noted that Marvin and Sobble bonded during the ordeal and suggested the boy keep it, which he happily accepted.
In Watch Out!! Strong Rivals, the group encountered Sonia, a researcher and Professor Magnolia's granddaughter. When Sonia lamented being unable to make much progress in her research, Henry had his Lancelot sabotage the trailer house, preventing it from moving. Magnolia asked Sonia to go with the others and research the geoglyph in Turffield in her place while she had the car repaired.
In PASS13, Professor Magnolia and the others encountered Opal in Hammerlocke. She took Henry and the others to Stow-on-Side for their next Gym battle and then gave Opal a ride to her home in Ballonlea. After returning, Professor Magnolia attempted to enjoy a cup of tea, only to be interrupted by a loud sound coming from the Stow-on-Side mural. She, Casey, Marvin, and Allister went to investigate the noise, only to find Bede trying to destroy the mural in an attempt to obtain Wishing Stars. Before he could continue, Bede was captured by several League Staff members and approached by Rose, who disqualified him from the Gym Challenge as punishment for damaging a historic landmark.
Later, after Henry's fifth Gym battle, Professor Magnolia gave him a news report of Pokémon Dynamaxing at Route 9 Tunnel, which would normally be impossible as the location is not a Power Spot. Worried that Casey would be blamed due to her Dynamax simulator, the group headed to Route 9 Tunnel to investigate. They then headed to Circhester, where Henry received a request from Melony.
In PASS19, Magnolia was seen relaxing with Casey in the Hero's Bath. She soon met up with Henry in Route 8 with Melony, Marvin, and Sonia. They then headed for Bob's Your Uncle to continue Sonia's investigation. Once Henry obtained his 6th Gym Badge, they made for Spikemuth, learning the truth behind the disappearance of Casey's Pokémon in the process. They then encountered Sordward and Shielbert's Pokémon, where the roof of the Magnolia was damaged in the process.
In PASS23, they met up with Piers and entered Spikemuth, having another battle with the royal brothers. In PASS25, the group, now joined by Piers, Marnie, and Hop, headed to Wyndon to confront Chairman Rose. They however found him to be missing at the Rose Tower, and also learned that multiple Pokémon were Dynamaxing. After founding out that Rose is in Hammerlocke's Energy Plant, Magnolia drove the Gym challengers, alongside multiple Gym Leaders to Hammerlocke to truly confront Rose. Along the way, they learned that the Dynamaxed Pokémon were becoming too much for the Trainers to handle and required the help of the Gym Leaders. Therefore, once the group made it to Hammerlocke, Magnolia decided to drop the Gym challengers off with some of the Gym Leaders while taking the remaining ones back to their respective towns.
