VileplumeBurning Shadows #6 Pokémon Card

Vileplume is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It is the final evolution of Oddish, evolving from Gloom when exposed to a Leaf Stone. Known as the Flower Pokémon, Vileplume’s most striking feature is its massive, red-spotted petals, which are the largest in the world and are said to contain the most potent pollen. This pollen is highly toxic and can cause severe allergic reactions, paralysis, or even unconsciousness. Despite its dangerous pollen, Vileplume is often depicted as relatively docile, preferring to stay rooted in one spot, especially in dense forests or jungles where it can absorb sunlight and nutrients. Its habitat is typically lush and humid, allowing its large petals to thrive. In the anime, Vileplume often appears in episodes featuring floral Pokémon or those highlighting the dangers of poisonous plants. It has been a consistent presence in the Pokémon games, often valued for its strong special attack and defensive capabilities, particularly against Water and Grass types. Its unique design and dual typing contribute to its cultural significance as one of the original 151 Pokémon, representing the beauty and potential danger of nature.
