Professor's Research was given two new Holofoil prints in the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion featuring the two Professors from [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], [[Professor Sada]] and [[Professor Turo]], with artwork by [[kirisAki]]. The 189/198 print featuring Professor Sada was released as a [[Holofoil]] card in the Japanese {{TCG|Scarlet ex}} expansion, and as a Non Holofoil card in the {{TCG|ex Starter Sets|ex Starter Set Sprigatito & Lucario ex}} and {{TCG|ex Starter Sets|ex Starter Set Quaxly & Mimikyu ex}}. The 190/198 print featuring Professor Turo was released as a Holofoil card in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansion, and as a Non Holofoil card in the {{TCG|ex Starter Sets|ex Starter Set Fuecoco & Ampharos ex}} and {{TCG|ex Starter Set Pikachu ex & Pawmot}}. Professor Sada and Professor Turo were also printed as {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|ultra rare}} cards with artwork by [[kirisAki]] in the Scarlet & Violet expansion. Professor Sada originated from the Japanese Scarlet ex expansion; Professor Turo originated from the Japanese Violet ex expansion. Outside Asia, Non Holofoil versions of both Regular prints were first available in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet Build & Battle Box}}.

The Regular Professor Sada print (numbered 021/SV-P) and Professor Turo print (numbered 022/SV-P) were reprinted as Japanese {{TCG|SV-P Promotional cards}} and were two of nine possible cards included in special packs sent to Event Organizers in January 2023 for distribution in official events hosted by them. These prints feature the Event Organizer logo in the bottom right corners of the illustrations. In Japan, both Professors' Regular prints were reprinted across the {{TCG|ex Start Decks}}, in the {{TCG|Ruler of the Black Flame Deck Build Box}}, in the {{TCG|2023 World Championships Yokohama Deck: Pikachu}}, across the {{TCG|Terastal Starter Sets}}, in the {{TCG|Venusaur & Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set ex}}, in the {{TCG|Shiny Treasure ex}} subset, across the {{TCG|Starter Deck & Build Sets}}, and the {{TCG|Pokémon Card Game Battle Academy}} Deck Kit. The Shiny Treasure ex reprints prompted both being included in the {{TCG|Paldean Fates}} expansion.
