"Are you ready to show me what Pokemon you have been training?"
—Professor OakThe Professor Oak boss is the boss-NPC incarnation of Professor Oak—the preeminent Pokémon professor of the Kanto region. He homologizes to Professor Elm, Professor Birch and Professor Rowan of the Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, respectively, as Kanto's professorial boss NPC.
Because of his byjob as a distributor starter Pokémon, his trove of prizes include Kanto's own subset of starter Pokémon (exclusive of the quaternary selectable in Pikachu), making him a potentially prolific alternative to hunting for the starter Pokémon in the wild.
Boss rework 2019
Lorelei was part of the Boss rework in 2019 and was updated at the 10th January 2019. The boss rework was issued and is still ongoing to improve the boss NPC's in general. All reworked bosses are coded in Python and not in Xanascript anymore, which gives new opportunities. Reworked bosses can now have held items as well. One of the biggest benefits is, that the Python script sees when if the server crashed in order to not count a lose in case the player fought against the boss while the server crashed. In such a case the player can simply re-figth the boss.
The boss rework implies a challenge for players on any experience level who do enjoy doing bosses because of the three difficulty level every not story related boss has, which ensures that bosses are challengable for newer players and also be a chellange for those who have a high Pokémon knowledge. Boss teams are decisively reworked and only contain level 100 Pokémon. EVs and hold items do vary among other things - also depending on the difficulty level.
- Easy: bosses have no EVs and no hold items; as well as a weakened moveset. Consecutive win rewards are also not available.
- Medium: bosses have 252 EVs in each stat and hold items.
- Hard: bosses have 400 EVs in each stat and hold items. Furthermore, the player is not allowed to use in-battle items such as Revives.
Challenging Professor Oak
Professor Oak can be found in the upper-rightmost corner in room 2 of Cinnabar Island's research lab. If Professor Oak is found in his lectural position, interact with him; this will invisibilize him and visibilize him in the boss-NPC position, effectively transposing his location to allow you to challenge the boss.
Interacting with him will automatically initiate a battle contingent that you have accumulated 200 seen-data entries of Pokémon on your Pokédex and that you have an invariably level-100 lineup on-hand. If you have previously battled him, it will be a 12-day cooldown time to rechallenge him.

Rewards
The standard subsets of rewards will be randomized and rewarded each time; however, upon defeating her three-consecutive times, you will get a extra reward on the difficulty level Medium and Hard while Hard gives slightly better rewards.
There is no shiny counterpart of Pokémon rewarded from the randomized prizeset; only the selectable prizes have one, which is 1/4,096 in fractional notation (0.0244%, in percental notation).
All rewarded Pokémon will be initialized at level 20.
