07Why Collectors Want It

An original 1999 Jungle-era holographic Vileplume.
The 1st Edition print is scarcer than Unlimited and carries a premium.
A nostalgic vintage staple for Jungle set collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Vileplume with 80 HP; top attack around 40 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Heal

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, remove 1 damage counter from 1 of your Pokémon. This power can't be used if Vileplume is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Petal Dance Cost: Grass + Grass + Grass · 40× damage

Flip 3 coins. This attack does 40 damage times the number of heads. Vileplume is now Confused (after doing damage).

Weakness: Fire ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Vileplume PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Vintage Jungle holos show edge wear readily; high-grade 1st Editions are scarce.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
