Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black, White, Black 2, White 2

Its petals are the largest in the world. As it walks, it scatters extremely allergenic pollen.

Generation 6
X

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

Y

It has the world’s largest petals. With every step, the petals shake out heavy clouds of toxic pollen.

Omega Ruby

Vileplume’s toxic pollen triggers atrocious allergy attacks. That’s why it is advisable never to approach any attractive flowers in a jungle, however pretty they may be.

Alpha Sapphire

Vileplume has the world’s largest petals. They are used to attract prey that are then doused with toxic spores. Once the prey are immobilized, this Pokémon catches and devours them.
