'''Imposter Professor Oak''' (spelled as '''Impostor Professor Oak''' in {{TCG|Base Set}}'s 1st Edition and Shadowless prints) (Japanese: '''にせオーキドはかせ''' ''False Doctor Okido'') is a {{TCG|Trainer card}}. It was first released as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}.

==Release information==
This card was included in the {{TCG|Base Set}}, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Expansion Pack}}. The 1st Edition and Shadowless print runs of this card were spelled '''Impostor Professor Oak''' and changed to '''Imposter''' for all further print runs and reprints. It was reprinted in the {{TCG|Base Set 2}} expansion. The original, Imposter-spelled print was rereleased in the {{TCG|Celebrations}} expansion's Classic Collection for the [[Pokémon 25th Anniversary]]. This print features the 25th Anniversary logo in the bottom right corner of the artwork and lacks Wizards of the Coast from the copyright information. In Japan, it was reprinted as part of the {{TCG|Promo Card Pack 25th Anniversary Edition}} with a red and gold "25th" logo in the bottom right corner of the artwork. Both prints are Confetti Holofoil and have etching similar to Full Art cards.

==Trivia==
* The [[Impostor Professor Oak]] character has appeared in other Pokémon media, such as [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]] and [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He has also been featured on other cards.
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Sabrina]] had her {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} disguise itself as Professor Oak. The transformation looks extremely similar to this artwork.

===Origin===
Imposter Professor Oak is based on [[Professor Oak]], a character in the [[Pokémon games]]. In particular, this card is based on the {{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}} card, the two having inverted effects.
