Vileplume evolves from Gloom, which in turn evolves from Oddish, forming a classic three-stage evolutionary line. Its Pokedex entries often highlight its enormous flower, which is said to release potent pollen. Depending on the specific variety of pollen, it can be either highly toxic, causing severe allergies and paralysis, or incredibly sweet-smelling, attracting other Pokémon and even humans. Vileplume typically inhabits lush forests and grasslands, often found in areas with rich soil and abundant plant life. In the games, Vileplume is a versatile special attacker with decent bulk, making it a reliable choice for many teams. In the anime, it has made various appearances, often depicted as a somewhat sleepy or docile Pokémon, but capable of unleashing powerful pollen attacks when provoked. Its distinctive design, resembling a Rafflesia flower, has made it a memorable and culturally significant Pokémon, representing the beauty and danger of nature. The Rafflesia, a real-world flower, is known for being the largest individual flower in the world and for its pungent odor, mirroring Vileplume's characteristics.
