Professor's Research
Oracle Text
Discard your hand and draw 7 cards.
Card Details
Character Background
Professor’s Research is one of the cleanest and most aggressive draw supporters in Pokémon TCG, and it best serves tempo and combo decks that care more about seeing new cards immediately than preserving resources in hand. By discarding your hand to draw seven, you convert a mediocre opening into fresh odds for Energy, search, and key combo pieces, making it especially strong in lists that can recover from discard or that want cards in the discard pile anyway. Decks built around recursive attackers, item-based engines, or discard synergies love it, since the “cost” can become an advantage rather than a drawback. A practical tip is to play it after using any Quick Ball, Ultra Ball, or similar search effects so you do not throw away cards you could still convert into value. As a promo Trainer, it also carries that iconic “the lab is open” feel: decisive, efficient, and willing to sacrifice the old hand for a better future.
