Trivia

  • This card's effect matches that of Professor Oak. However, Professor Oak is not a Supporter card, meaning that that card can be played more than once per turn.
  • This card has an identical effect as Professor Juniper. Because of this, it has been ruled that while both cards are in rotation together, only Professor Juniper or Professor Sycamore can be included in a single deck, not both.

Origin

Professor Sycamore is the resident Pokémon Professor of the Kalos region.
