Erika's Ivysaur 41/132 · Gym Challenge

Erika's Ivysaur, Gym Challenge #41

Ivysaur is Pokédex #002, generation 1 (Kanto). Erika's Ivysaur is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 22. The card says it evolves from Erika's Bulbasaur. In this catalog that name is Bulbasaur (#001). The card lists Venusaur, Venusaur (#003) under evolves to.

Erika's Ivysaur sits at 41/132 in Gym Challenge, position 41 of 132. Before it is 40 Erika's Clefairy, and after it is 42 Giovanni's Machoke. The set belongs to the Gym series. It was released on 16 October 2000. The printed size is 132, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

Relaxing Scent is listed as Pokémon Power. As long as Erika's Ivysaur is your Active Pokémon, whenever an attack (even your own) does damage to any Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), that attack only does half the damage to that Pokémon (rounded up to the nearest 10). (Any other effects of attacks still happen.) This power stops working while Erika's Ivysaur is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Double Razor Leaf lists 40× damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Grass. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Ivysaur (#002) has 20 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Ivysaur 30/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Ivysaur, while this one is Erika's Ivysaur. Both list 60 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 16 other cards of Ivysaur list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Gym Challenge set binder is where a full Gym Challenge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ivysaur can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Trainer's Pokémon, Kanto starters, without Charizard, Kanto Gym Leaders and their Pokémon, and Erika and her Pokémon. I still need this card.
