# Erika's Paras #71/132 — Gym Challenge

## Summary

Erika's Paras is a Gym Challenge common, filler in a set whose real excitement was the holographic Gym Leader Pokémon. Sugimori's name and the Gen I Grass lineage give completionists a reason to slot it in, though it was never a card anyone hunted. The modelled guide sits at $2.63 with 7 copies traded in 30 days; a CGC 10 brings $12, 4.7 times raw, but 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.
