07Why Collectors Want It

Original WotC-era printing from the Team Rocket set — foundational vintage Vileplume.
Final evolution of the Oddish line — its 1999 Jungle holo is a vintage chase.
Required for any complete Vileplume master set across eras.
Collectors of the Team Rocket set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 2 Vileplume with 60 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Hay Fever

No Trainer cards can be played. This power stops working while Dark Vileplume is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Petal Whirlwind Cost: Grass + Grass + Grass · 30× damage

Flip a coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads. If you get 2 or more heads, Dark Vileplume is now Confused (after doing damage).

Weakness: Fighting ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

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

Graded copies command notable premiums over raw, especially for 1st Edition prints.

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