Professor Burnet is a researcher specializing in the relationship between Pokémon and other dimensions, best known for her work on the Interdream Zone—the space between dreams and reality. She first appeared in the Pokémon Dream Radar short, and her research has made her a central figure in understanding the dimensional anomalies plaguing Alola.
She's been friends with Professor Fennel since their college days, bonding over their shared interest in studying dreams. In Sun and Moon, Burnet is revealed to be married to Professor Kukui, and together they've been helping a young girl named Lillie and her mysterious Pokémon companion Nebby ever since Burnet found them on a beach three months before the game's events.
Her work takes on direct importance when the player reaches Akala Island. Kukui brings them to the Dimensional Research Lab in Heahea City, where Burnet has been investigating the Ultra Wormholes and Ultra Beasts causing strange phenomena across the region. This lab becomes crucial to understanding the larger threat facing Alola.
