Wife and I are married and she moved to work in another state, how do we file state taxes?

My wife and I worked and lived in California for the first half of the year, then in July she moved to Pennsylvania (to live and work) and I stayed to live and work in California. The compensation is always within each state. I plan on filing MFJ for the federal.

For state: I believe she needs to file a partial residence MFS tax return for Pennsylvania, but can I just file a MFJ tax return for both of us in CA? Or does it have to be two MFS for CA (one for me and a partial residence for the wife)?
