Erika's garden

Grass types and the trainers who raise them. Erika’s Invitation, Gardenia’s Vigor and Wally’s Compassion sit beside Venusaur ex and Leafeon VSTAR.

About this collection

Every collection needs somewhere calm, and this is it. Erika’s garden is what happens when you let the grass‑type trainers keep their Pokémon close: Erika, Gardenia and Wally each brought a friend, and a Bellsprout wandered in through the gate and nobody had the heart to ask it to leave.

It mixes cards from 2000 to 2025, so a Neo Genesis Bellossom sits happily next to modern special illustration rares. Four of the cards are by Atsuko Nishida, which is why the whole page feels like one soft afternoon.

The colours

Moss and leaf greens do most of the work, with pops of petal pink from Shaymin and Venusaur’s flower and a little lilac from Gardevoir. It reads as a garden even from across the room.

Standout cards

  • Erika’s Invitation, 151 #203, illustrated by Cona Nitanda: the special illustration rare that sets the mood.

  • Venusaur ex, 151 #198, illustrated by Yoriyuki Ikegami, who also painted Gardenia’s Vigor on the same page.

  • Bellossom, Neo Genesis #3, illustrated by Atsuko Nishida: a card from 2000 that still holds its own next to modern full arts.

Make your own

Pick a type and the trainers linked to it, then mix in older cards for contrast. Card search finds every printing of a Pokémon by name, set or illustrator. If one artist keeps turning up, as Atsuko Nishida does here, start an illustrator collection.
