InPokemon TCG Pocket, Erika is one of those cards whose true value shines only in the right deck. And with Grass-Type decks gaining a bit more popularity, players are increasingly eager to add Erika to their collections. Fortunately, Erika isn’t a rare card, and unless you’re after her 2-star variant, you can unlock her fairly early in the game. This guide coversall the ways to obtain Erikaand provides an overview and review to help you decide if she’s worth the effort.
An Overview of Erika
Erika is one ofthe strongest healer cards inPokemon TCG Pocket. Since you can carry two Erika cards in a deck, she can offset up to 100 incoming damage—an impressive amount. However, she’s not a META Supporter. Her healing is limited to Grass-Type Pokemon, which is a drawback in the current metagame dominated by Mewtwo and Pikachu.
How to Get Erika
Like all Supportercards in the Genetic Apex expansion, Erika can be obtained through three methods: unlocking her from a specific booster pack, exchanging pack points, or drawing for her in Wonder Pick offers.
Open Charizard Booster Packs
Along with Blaine and Sabrina,Erika is exclusive to Charizard booster packs. You have a 2.571% chance of pulling her 2-diamond variant, whileher 2-star full-art variant is much rarer, with only a 0.050% drop rate. Your odds improve if you consistently open Charizard booster packs instead of alternating between the three options.

Craft Erika with Pack Points
You cancraft Erika at the exchange shop for 70 Pack Points. Since you earn five points per booster pack, this equals opening 14 packs. This method applies to both the 2-diamond and 2-star Erika. However, crafting the full-art 2-star variant is significantly pricier, costing 1,250 Pack Points.
Pull Erika from Wonder Pick Deals
Wishlisting Erika will notify you when she’s available in Wonder Pick. WhileWonder Pick can offer added valueby pairing Erika with other needed cards, it’s not the most efficient way to get her. Erika isn’t a rare card—you’re able to easily obtain her through regular packs or crafting. Save your Wonder Pick Stamina for rarer cards and avoid wasting it on Erika.
Is Erika Worth It?
Erika is a niche Supporter best suited forGrass-Type decks. Her influence is limited solely to Grass Pokemon. If Grass-Type decks aren’t your focus, there’s little reason to invest in her.
