Provenance

Where it came from

Erika's Paras was released in the Gym Challenge expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in English in 2000. This set was designed to highlight the gym leaders from the Kanto region, specifically focusing on the grass-type specialist Erika of the Celadon City Gym. The cards from this series were adapted from the Japanese Gym Leaders set, capturing the personality and signature Pokémon associated with each trainer.

The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and illustrator for the early Pokémon franchise. Sugimori utilized his signature watercolor-influenced style to depict Paras in a setting reflective of Erika's nature-focused gym. As a common card, it was widely accessible to players during the height of the game's initial global popularity and serves as a classic example of the Gym expansion's thematic approach to trainer-linked creatures.
