Professor Philena Ivy (Japanese: ウチキド博士 Dr. Uchikido) is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime. She is a Pokémon Professor who resides on Valencia Island with her three assistants.
History
Professor Ivy was first mentioned in Pallet Party Panic by Professor Oak, who asked Ash to retrieve a mysterious Poké Ball Professor Ivy had found but could not be transported directly to the lab or cracked open with her finest equipment.
In Poké Ball Peril, Ash and his friends found Professor Ivy and obtained the GS Ball. Later in the episode, Professor Ivy and a Raticate got sent to the Pokémon Center because they got in the way of a Vileplume scattering pollen. During these events, Brock fell in love with her and decided to stay with the professor as her assistant. Brock continued to stay with her during Ash's Orange League adventure until A Tent Situation, where Ash and Misty met Brock at Ash's home in Pallet Town. Not only did they part on mysterious terms, but Brock's time spent at her lab had never been fully explained. Whatever happened, speaking Professor Ivy's name around Brock caused him to curl up into a ball and simply state, "Don't mention that name!" The events that caused Brock to be traumatized have been the subject of fan speculation.
In The Power Of One, Professor Ivy was seen with Brock at the lab while contacting Professor Oak about Pokémon disturbances on Valencia Island. After that, she was seen later in a helicopter along with Professor Oak and Delia, explaining to a news crew about the Pokémon disturbances. The helicopter eventually crash landed on Shamouti Island with all people inside safe.
In A Tent Situation, she reappeared in a flashback. Professor Ivy was also accidentally mentioned twice by Misty in the following episode.
In the English dub of Destiny Deoxys, she was mentioned by Brock while flirting with Yuko.
Character
Professor Ivy's field of research is in regional differences in Pokémon physiology. Her report on "Pokémon adaptive variation as a function of regional distribution" has been published in the Pokémon Researchers Monthly magazine.
She is considered to be very attractive, but it is noted that her looks do not negate her achievements as a Pokémon researcher. She and Professor Oak are good friends.

Trivia
- In the English dub, Professor Ivy is the first Professor in the core series regions who has not been named after a tree; however, she is still named after a plant. Ivy often grows on oak trees, so her name may be a reference to her friendship with Professor Oak.
- Professor Ivy shares her French name with May.
