Erika's Vileplume [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Erika's Vileplume is one of Gym Heroes' holo rares, and its card design directly mirrors Erika's in-game identity by giving her signature Grass ace the move Mega Drain.
In-Game
This card feels especially faithful to the RPGs because Erika gives out TM21 Mega Drain in Pokémon Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow, making the attack on this holo a perfect Gym Leader callback.
Artist
Collectors love this one as a Ken Sugimori holo, since Sugimori was Pokémon's original character designer and his artwork gives Erika's Vileplume that unmistakable early-era WotC authenticity.
Cultural Impact
Vileplume is based in part on the rafflesia, the giant foul-smelling flower that inspired its Japanese name Ruffresia, so this card blends Erika's elegant flower aesthetic with one of Pokémon's strangest botanical inspirations.
Set Lore
Gym Heroes is special because it turned famous trainers into part of the card identity itself, and Erika's Vileplume is a standout example of that character-driven WotC storytelling.
