Strategy & play
How Vileplume plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Giant Bloom) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥70 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Gloom first).
How to beat Vileplume
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥70 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

"The larger its petals, the more toxic pollen it contains. Its big head is heavy and hard to hold up."
Ability: Varied Pollen
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, choose Asleep, Burned, Confused, or Poisoned. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now affected by that Special Condition.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Vileplume is real?
Vileplume is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
