Vileplume (Japanese: ラフレシア Rafflesia) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Gloom when exposed to a Leaf Stone. It is one of Oddish's final forms, the other being Bellossom.
Biology
Physiology
Vileplume has a Prussian Blue-colored body like its pre-evolutions, but has changed in that it now has a much larger "flower" on its head, slightly different than Gloom's flower, although still resembling a Rafflesia flower. Vileplume are said to have the largest petals in the world, and they contribute to a large percentage of their height. The size of the petals in relation to the rest of the body make Vileplume very sheltered from the sun, as the petals almost act as a sun visor.
Gender differences
A female has fewer, but bigger, spots on its petals.
Special abilities
Vileplume scatters toxic spores and releases noxious gases. Its toxic pollen sometimes triggers atrocious allergy attacks. It also has the world's largest petals which it uses to attract prey, and the larger its petals, the more pollen it scatters. The allergenic pollen is said to turn the air around Vileplume yellow, and is known to cause paralysis.
Behavior
The bud bursts into bloom with a bang. In seasons when Vileplume produces more pollen, the petals shake out heavy clouds of it with each step, turning the air around it yellow. Vileplume may also loudly flap its flower petals to scatter its pollen. The petals are used to attract prey that is then doused with toxic spores. Once the prey is immobilized, Vileplume catches and devours them.
Habitat
Vileplume live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. It shares its home range with Oddish and Gloom.
Diet

The petals are used to attract prey that is then doused with toxic spores. Once the prey is immobilized, Vileplume catches and devours them.
In the anime
Major appearances
Its first major appearance was in Holy Matrimony. The Flower Pokémon was under the ownership of James's fiancee, Jessiebelle. Prior to the flashback when James ran away from home, it was once an Oddish. It reappeared in The Treasure Is All Mine! when Jessiebelle used it to open a blocked passageway.
Groups of Vileplume and Bellossom were feuding with each other in Whichever Way the Wind Blows.
Nicolette used a Vileplume to battle May's Munchlax in May's Egg-Cellent Adventure.

Vileplume first appeared making cameo appearances in Pokémon Scent-sation, being one of the Pokémon owned by the attendants at the Celadon Gym.
One was seen at a party in The Battling Eevee Brothers.
In Mewtwo Strikes Back, a Vileplume owned by Neesha was among the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by Mewtwo. The Vileplume clone was seen again in Mewtwo Returns.
A differently patterned Vileplume appeared in Poké Ball Peril.
Ash, Tracey, and Jessie were affected by a Vileplume's Stun Spore in The Stun Spore Detour.
A Vileplume appeared in Hi Ho Silver Wind!
A Vileplume appeared at the start of Leave It To Brocko!. It was running through the forest throughout the night after being woken with a shock when a Nuzleaf fell out of its tree, hitting the Vileplume on its head.
A Vileplume also appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One.

Trivia
- Vileplume shares the same species name with Bellsprout and Bellossom. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.
- Vileplume is one of the few Pokémon that appeared in the anime with an alternate coloration that was not its shiny coloration.
- Despite the fact that Vileplume can learn the move Synthesis and has Chlorophyll as its sole natural ability, a rafflesia arnoldii, the flower it is based on, can't use photosynthesis and is incapable of forming chlorophyll.
- Vileplume can learn SolarBeam through leveling up, despite being associated with the moon, while its counterpart Bellossom, who is associated with the sun, cannot.
Origin
Vileplume, like Gloom, is based on the the rafflesia arnoldii, a foul-smelling flower known as the world's most poisonous plant. This Pokémon more strongly resembles the flower than Gloom, which may represent the budding stage of the rafflesia. Vileplume's flower also looks alike to several other genus of rafflesia, notably cantleyi, keithii, pricei, panchoana and speciosa, of which the petal shape is a closest match. Female Vileplume may be based on Rafflesia hasseltii, as its petals have distinctively larger blotches than other genus of Rafflesia.
Name origin
Vileplume's name comes from a combination of vile and plume, a swelling cluster of large, showy feathers (or in this case, petals). Its Japanese name is the word rafflesia.
