Professor Laventon (Japanese: ラベン博士 Dr. Laven) is a travelling Pokémon Professor who studies in the Hisui region. He is a member of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps and specializes in Pokémon's modes of life.

In the core series

Professor Laventon finds the player on Prelude Beach after they have fallen through the space-time rift. The appearance of the player has attracted the interest of the Professor's three Starter Pokémon. After the player awakens, the Pokémon run away and the Professor tasks the player with recapturing them. Impressed by their skill he takes the player to Jubilife Village to recruit them into the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps.

Pokémon

Gives to the player

Professor Laventon gives the player their choice of starter Pokémon from Pokémon he collected while traveling the world. After the player has beaten the main story of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, he will give the player the remaining two starter Pokémon.

Trivia

  • The Pokédex entries in Pokémon Legends: Arceus are written in first person by Laventon.
    • Incidentally, Laventon is also the person who coined the term "scalchop" for Oshawott's signature seashell, and the term "aura" for Lucario's signature energy wave control power.
  • There are several hints in the game that Professor Laventon may be from the Galar region:
    • In the Pokédex entry for Raichu he mentions Copperajah that live in his homeland. Currently, Copperajah are only known to live in Galar.
    • The writing on the blackboard in his office uses the alphabet from Pokémon Sword and Shield instead of the style of writing used elsewhere in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
    • He often uses stock British phrases such as "jolly good". In other language versions of the game such as German, he will sometimes speak in English instead.
    • This would make him the only known Pokémon Professor in the core series not to be from the region he resides in.
  • The stripes on Laventon’s pants are very similar to the ones found on Leon’s shirt.
