Collector Insights

Vileplume is a Grass-type Pokémon with 140 HP. It features the ability Varied Pollen, which allows the player to flip a coin during their turn to apply a Special Condition—such as Asleep, Burned, Confused, or Poisoned—to the opponent’s Active Pokémon. The card’s attack, Giant Bloom, costs two Grass and one Colorless Energy, dealing 90 damage while healing 30 damage to Vileplume. Its retreat cost requires three Colorless Energy, reflecting its strategic balance. Vileplume is weak to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card belongs to the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Unbroken Bonds set, released in May 2019. Artist Suwama Chiaki’s design captures the Pokémon’s floral characteristics, emphasizing its large, toxic petals and heavy head. The flavor text highlights its biological trait of harboring potent pollen in proportion to its size.

The larger its petals, the more toxic pollen it contains. Its big head is heavy and hard to hold up.
