Erika Cosmic Eclipse 191/236
Erika is a Supporter card with the same name and effect as Erika’s first card in Gym Challenge. This new card, printed in Cosmic Eclipse, features Erika’s new design in Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!.
This card goes along with the Vileplume GX in the set, which features Erika in its artwork. I think reprinting an old card was the route taken since there was already a new Erika’s Hospitality Supporter in Team Up and Hidden Fates. Perhaps two brand new Supporters of Erika would have been too overkill.
What’s unfortunate about this card is that it ruined a lot of Unlimited format decks. The original Erika was used as a draw 3 Item, as all Trainers back then functioned as Items. However, this card being a Supporter with the same name technically is an errata, meaning that Unlimited decks now have one less strong Item. This is important as most Unlimited decks are designed to win on the first turn.
