Release information

This card was released in the XY expansion, first originating from the Japanese Collection X. In Japan, this card was reprinted as a Mirror Holofoil XY-P Promotional card available as part of a twelve card promotional pack awarded to those who participated in the Pokémon Card Gym tournaments from the month of February 2014 through the month of April 2014. This print features the Card Gym logo. It was later reprinted in the Japanese M-Charizard-EX Mega Battle Deck and the Hyper Metal Chain Deck.

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.
