Pokémon TCG Vileplume

Description

This original Pokémon TCG card features the Flower Pokémon, Vileplume, as a powerful final-stage character that evolves from Gloom. The card showcases a vibrant illustration of the blue bipedal Pokémon with its iconic red, white-spotted flower petals, happily wandering through a sun-drenched forest filled with flowing streams and lush greenery.

As a Grass-type Pokémon, it specializes in biological warfare and restorative synergy. Its first attack, Pollen Bomb, deals direct damage and simultaneously leaves the opponent’s Active Pokémon both Asleep and Poisoned, creating a difficult status condition for the opposition to overcome. For a heavy-hitting strike, it utilizes Lively Flower, which deals a base amount of damage that scales dramatically if Vileplume was healed during the same turn. The artwork by Shibuzoh. perfectly captures the character’s misleadingly cute appearance, complemented by flavor text noting that its petals burst into bloom with a bang to scatter allergenic, poisonous pollen.

This version is a Reverse Holo, identified by the holographic finish across the card’s body while the main artwork remains standard. The card features high durability stats and standard game mechanics, including a specific weakness to Fire-type attacks and a defined retreat cost.
