# Erika's Ivysaur #41/132 — Gym Challenge

## Summary

Erika's Ivysaur is a Gym Challenge uncommon, a mid-tier pull in a set where the real chase sits with the holos. Its draw is Ken Sugimori, the Pokémon designer himself, plus a Pokémon Power that halved all incoming damage, a quirky design from the Gym era. The modelled guide sits at $33 with 21 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
