Rarity and Set Information

The Pokemon GO expansion was released during the Sword and Shield era and brought a collaboration-themed set to the TCG. Cards numbered beyond the printed set total are classified as Secret Rare, and the rainbow rare finish applied to this version of Professor’s Research makes it one of the more visually distinctive Supporter cards from the set.

The Professor’s Research rainbow rare finish uses a full-card holographic treatment that shifts colour depending on the viewing angle. Among collectors focused on the Pokemon GO set, the 84/78 numbering and rainbow presentation make this card a notable target when completing a master set run.

Professor Willow’s appearance on this card is also significant for fans of the Pokemon GO franchise, as he replaces the more commonly seen Professor Magnolia on standard prints of the same Supporter card. This makes the Professor Willow 84/78 variant a favourite for theme collectors alongside its appeal to rainbow rare hunters.
