How To Unlock Professor Willow’s TCG Special Research in Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go has had several previously exciting crossovers with several other franchise games and an event to celebrate the launch of Pokémon Sword and Shield and interaction with Pokémon Let’s GO. However, for the very first time, the game’s developer Niantic is going ahead to crossover with Pokémon TCG in a meaningful way. In addition, the game has also announced the exciting new debut of Professor Willow on a card next month. 

Professor Willow’s renowned artwork will be featured on a relatively new solid TCG card named Professor’s Research in July 2021. The card can be a fascinating addition to several Pokemon TCG decks. But it will also be of interest to Pokemon GO trainers. The mobile AR experience comes in with a new unique research storyline.

Professor Willow is depicted on a Pokémon TCG card called “Professor’s Research.” As of this writing, trainers can get their hands on one of these cards by purchasing a Pokémon Go product on the Pokémon Center website.

The Professor’s Research card will carry a code that players can redeem on Niantic’s website. This code help access a Special Research storyline in Pokémon Go. This Special Research will be available in July 2021. Niantic stated in a news release that this Special Research would enable users to encounter Meltan. With that players will also receive various in-game rewards in Pokémon Go.
