Released in 2021 during a Pokémon GO–themed Pokémon Center campaign, this Professor’s Research Supporter is a Pokémon TCG trading card from the Sword & Shield Black Star Promo set (#178). It features Professor Willow on artwork by Yusuke Kozaki, shown trekking outdoors with a Meltan (a Pokémon originally discovered in Pokémon GO) peeking from his pack. The card’s effect (“Discard your hand and draw 7 cards”) makes it a powerful draw engine in decks, and collectors prize it as a unique promo from the first Pokémon GO collaboration and its limited Pokémon Center release. Notably, each copy originally included a code for a special Pokémon GO research quest, adding to its collector appeal.
