Price: $14.99
Professor’s Research featuring Professor Sada, from the Pokémon GO set, full art trainer holo with the number 089/078, and we’re talking raw copies here—those untouched beauties straight from packs. This one’s a standout in the Japanese print run, sporting that vibrant full art style that really pops.
The artwork shows Sada in her explorer gear, surrounded by ancient Pokémon vibes, with the holo foil layering over the background like a subtle shimmer that catches the eye without overwhelming the details.
As a Supporter card, it doesn’t have HP or attacks, but the text is straightforward: you play it to discard your hand and draw seven cards. Simple, effective for deck cycling, especially in formats where hand refresh is key. No energy costs, just drop it during your turn and boom, fresh options.
This card dropped in the Pokémon GO set back in 2022, tying into the mobile game crossover with unique mechanics like the Mewtwo VSTAR and such. Japanese prints often have that crisp card stock, but raw copies can show some factory quirks—think slight off-centering on the borders, especially around the full art edges where the image bleeds to the sides. Centering’s usually decent, maybe 60/40 on average pulls, but hunt for those 50/50 gems if you’re picky. The holo pattern is a starry scatter, which holds up well but can pick up minor scratches if not handled carefully.
For raw condition, corners on these are sharp out of the pack, but watch for whitening if they’ve been shuffled around. Edges might have that faint silvering from printing, nothing major unless it’s a miscut. Surface is smooth, with the holo flash giving it a nice depth, though fingerprints show up easy on the foil. Overall, a clean raw one feels solid, no bends or creases if stored right.
Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill in a top loader—either way, it’s ready for the table.
