# Professor's Research (Japanese) #020 — sA: Water Starter Set V

## Summary

Professor's Research is a plain Supporter slot here, a reprint filler rather than a chase pull, and that is the point of it: the Japanese sA Water Starter Set V ships a ready-to-play deck, so the card is there to be used. Release came in November 2019, ahead of the Sword & Shield English set that carries the same Professor Magnolia card in February 2020. The art is a calm exterior of Magnolia in her white coat, standing before a large house.
