Release information

This card was included in the Base Set, first released in the Japanese Expansion Pack. It was reprinted in the Base Set 2 expansion.

In the Scarlet & Violet Series, this card was reprinted in Holofoil with its original Base Set artwork in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic. This reprint re-categorizes the card as a Supporter card, thus making it subject to the corresponding Supporter card rules. It also lacks a regulation mark, and is thus not legal for tournament play.

Rulings

In Japan only, all prints of this card received errata to be played as a Supporter card upon the introduction of the mechanic. This errata was not issued internationally, and as Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic cards are not legal for tournament play, this card is played as an Item card outside these contexts.

Trivia

This card's post-Japanese errata and Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic effect is identical to the Supporter cards Professor Juniper, Professor Sycamore, and Professor's Research. However, unlike these cards, earlier prints of Professor Oak may be played multiple times in a single turn.

Origin

Professor Oak is the resident Pokémon Professor of the Kanto region.
