Strategy & play
How Vileplume plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Petal Dance) 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 ≥40 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- 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 — ≥40 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

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

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.
