Erika's Gloom · Ascended Heroes, what to know.
About the Erika's Gloom card
Numbered 2 of 250 in Ascended Heroes, released in April 2026, Erika's Gloom is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Grass-type carrying 90 HP.
It evolves from Erika's Oddish, so Erika's Gloom is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Erika is the Grass-type Gym Leader of Celadon City, a calm tea enthusiast who tends the city's gardens. Erika's Gloom is part of that themed lineup.

Erika's Gloom carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It secretes a sticky, drool-like nectar. Though sweet, it smells too repulsive to get very close."
