Pokemon Card of the Day #3081: Professor Elm's Lecture (Lost Thunder)

Professor Elm's Lecture was one of those Supporters that was only useful for specific decks. It was pretty strong in those, as it let you search your deck for up to 3 Pokemon with 60 HP or less to put into your hand.

The first decks to make use of this were Zoroark-GX decks, as they could find the Zorua needed to get going. It helped that common Basic Pokemon needed for typical Zoroark partners, such as Alolan Vulpix and Rockruff, also sat at 60 HP.

While Zoroark-GX and friends eventually fell behind, Professor Elm's Lecture found one later partner that worked even better with it. Pidgeotto could help Control decks get through their cards without discarding a ton, and both Pidgey and Pidgeotto were under 60 HP. Professor Elm's Lecture was very important for a Pidgeotto deck to the point that most ran 4 copies despite wanting to fit all sorts of other cards for disruption. While most decks couldn't use this due to using high HP Pokemon, Professor Elm's Lecture had a very important role in the game to help the exceptions keep up.
