VileplumeJungle #15 Pokémon Card

Vileplume, the Flower Pokémon, is a Grass/Poison type known for its enormous, toxic petals. It was introduced in Generation I as the final evolution of Oddish, evolving from Gloom when exposed to a Leaf Stone. Vileplume's natural habitat is typically dense forests and jungles, where it can be found among other vibrant flora. Its diet consists primarily of nutrients absorbed from the soil, but it also uses its potent pollen to incapacitate smaller insects, which then decompose and provide further sustenance. Behaviorally, Vileplume is often depicted as serene but capable of releasing a powerful, allergy-inducing pollen when threatened. In the games, Vileplume is a reliable special attacker often utilized for its draining moves and status effects. In the anime, it has appeared in various episodes, often highlighting its beautiful yet dangerous nature. Culturally, Vileplume embodies the duality of beauty and danger found in nature, a common theme in many folklore traditions. Its striking design, reminiscent of a rafflesia flower, makes it a memorable and iconic Pokémon from the original 151.
