Niantic also revealed that there will be other ways to obtain Professor Willow's card, and fans predict that players will get this card through completing research tasks in Pokemon GO, as well as missions at Pokemon League events.
Professor Willow's Special Research card also includes an encounter with Meltan, a Mythical Pokemon. Meltan is also a Steel-type Pokemon and it can evolve into Melmetal.
Meltan's go-to moves include Thunder Shock, and Thunderbolt. The best counter moves against Meltan consist of Fire-, Ground-, and Fighting-type moves.
Professor Willow's card also offers a battle advantage when you're battling during a trading card game fight.
Along with Special Research and encountering Meltan, players can also gain special items during this event.
