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 him into the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps.
