Pokemon GO TCG card deal locked in: Professor Willow first

This week Niantic and The Pokemon Company announced a collaboration of sorts. The first part of this collaboration will mark the 5 year anniversary of the game Pokemon GO on mobile devices, starting "in late May 2021." Professor Willow "will appear as a Pokemon TCG card in summer 2021" and will be "obtainable" in stores around the world. It's not yet clear how this first (of a series) of cards will be made available to gamers.
