Erika's Bulbasaur is a Grass-type Pokémon from the Gym series, released in the Gym Challenge set on October 16, 2000. It has 50 HP and requires one Colorless energy to retreat. The card features two attacks: Sleep Seed, which costs one Grass energy to deal 10 damage and put the defending Pokémon to sleep, and Errand-Running, a two-Grass-energy attack that allows the player to search their deck for a Trainer card, reveal it to the opponent, and add it to their hand before shuffling the deck. It has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. The card is numbered 39 and classified as Uncommon rarity. Artist Ken Sugimori designed the illustration, and it is associated with Bulbasaur's Pokédex number 1. The card’s theme revolves around strategic resource management and tactical disruption through its abilities.
