Professor Oak - Set: Base Set 1998 / Celebrations
Top 1 in Top 20 Strongest Pokemon Cards
Even if all of the cards from the original Pokémon base set were legalized for use in the current format, very few of them would see play. However, Professor Oak is not the norm. Drawing seven cards is such a powerful advantage that it dictates the rest of the game.
While not strictly a reprint, similar supporter cards have been reprinted in every set afterwards. Featuring a wide variety of Pokemon teachers, from the original Professor Oak to the newest set's Professor Sada and Professor Turo, while maintaining the same timeless quality.
