{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
Vileplume first appeared making cameo appearances in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation]]'', being one of the Pokémon owned by the attendants at the [[Celadon Gym]]. One was also seen at a party in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''.
[[Image:Whichever Way the Wind Blows!.jpg|thumb|left|Two Vileplume (right) attacking two {{p|Bellossom}}.]] [[Image:Vile.jpg|thumb|right|A differently patterned Vileplume, as observed by [[Misty]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.]]
Its first major appearance was in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony]]''. The walking rafflesia flower was under the ownership of [[James]]'s fiancee, [[Jessiebelle]]. Prior to the flashback when James ran away from home, it was once an Oddish.

A Vileplume was among the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

{{Ash}}, {{Tracey}} and [[Jessie]] were affected by a Vileplume's {{M|Stun Spore}} in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''.

Groups of Vileplume and {{p|Bellossom}} were feuding with each other in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]''.

[[Nicolette]] used a Vileplume to battle [[May's Munchlax]] in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''.

A Vileplume appeared at the start of ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]''. It was running through the forest throughout the night after being woken with a shock when a {{p|Nuzleaf}} fell out of its tree, hitting the Vileplume on its head.

==In the manga==
Vileplume is one of the Pokémon owned by [[Erika]] in [[Pokémon Special]].

==Trivia==
*Vileplume shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Bellossom}}. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.
* Vileplume has the same cry as {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
===Origin===
Vileplume, like {{p|Gloom}}, is based on the {{wp|rafflesia arnoldii}}, a foul-smelling flower. This [[Pokémon]] more strongly resembles the flower than Gloom, which may represent the budding stage of the rafflesia.
====Name origin====
Vileplume's name comes from a combination of ''vile'' and ''plume''. Its Japanese name is a corruption of the word ''{{wp|rafflesia}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Giflor
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rafflesia - From the flower of the same name.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 라플레시아 ''Rapeullesia''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 霸王花 (Ba Wang Hua) - Chinese name of {{wp|Rafflesia Arnoldii}} which it is based upon

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} Pokémon.

Apart from being revived from [[Old Amber]], it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
It is widely considered to be extinct, and is only found by resurrecting it from the [[Old Amber]].
===Physiology===
A ferocious, prehistoric Pokémon, it possesses serrated, razor-sharp fangs that it uses to tear through the throats of its prey. Its wings have skin stretched from its side to its arms. The triangular-shaped tip of its tail is grey, like the tail itself which is connected to its oval body.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Aerodactyl is capable of flying at great speeds and tearing through prey with its fangs. It is also very durable due to its rock-hard body.

===Behavior===
Aerodactyl's preferred method of killing its victims is by tearing through the throats of its victims with its serrated, saw-like fangs.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
The exact habitat of Aerodactyl is unknown even though some living samples have been found miles underground in caves, but so far most Aerodactyl are revived from [[Old Amber]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In the episode Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl the Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear like fruit that grew in the forests of an island.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Aerodactyl anime.jpg|thumb|right|Aerodactyl in the anime]]
Aerodactyl first appeared in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. It scared off the other [[Generation I]] fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and [[Team Rocket]]. It then kidnapped the young [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]], who was rescued by his {{AP|Charizard}}. [[Todd Snap|Todd]] took a photo of this Aerodactyl, which was seen in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''.

Fossils of {{p|Kabutops}} and Aerodactyl were resurrected by {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]] in ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]''; in the English dub, they were once used by an evil Pokémon Trainer to torment the civilians of [[Alto Mare]], but were drowned when a {{p|Latios}} brought water to the city. They were sent to chase after Ash and {{p|Latias}}.

''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' featured an Aerodactyl that was revived by [[Gary Oak]]. The Aerodactyl seemed to enjoy eating a pear like fruit that grew in the forests of an island. [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] wanted to steal this Aerodactyl in order to present it to [[Dr. Namba]], but were stopped by [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{p|Dodrio}}, and of course the Aerodactyl who sent the two Rockets flying with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

Another Aerodactyl appeared in ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', where it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]] after being revived from its fossil state.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
{{Special|Red}} obtains an Aerodactyl from a resurrected piece of Old Amber. He has since then used it extensively for aerial transport and combat.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Aerodactyl (TCG)}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Once an egg has been hatched, Aerodactyl will fly by and replace it the next time the ball rolls into the Egg Stand.

==Trivia==
[[Image:000A.png|thumb|right|Aerodacty Fossil on Display in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]]]
* Aerodactyl was originally going to use its Japanese name, "Ptera", as its English name.
* Until [[Generation IV]], Aerodactyl could not learn {{m|Crunch}}, despite the fact that most of its Pokédex entries mentioned its saw-like teeth.
* During its first appearance in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' it was mentioned that Aerodactyl was Carnivorous based on its teeth (and the reactions of the other fossil Pokémon when it arrived.) However in ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'' it is shown and proven to be at least Omnivorous despite its teeth and based on its joyful consumption of fruit.
* Aerodactyl is the only non-{{type2|Steel}} Pokémon that can learn {{m|Iron Head}} by level.
* It is also the only Pokémon that learns both [[Hyper Beam]] and [[Giga Impact]] by level.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] combination as Aerodactyl.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[fossil Pokémon]] that does not have an evolution or pre-evolution and is obtainable in another way besides reviving its fossilized form by an in-game [[trade]] (without another game and [[Game Boy]]).
* Aerodactyl is one of the few Pokémon that are super-effective against its own type (excluding Dragon and Ghost). Rock is super-effective against Flying. Other such examples include Lucario and Tropius.
* Aerodactyl's shiny sprite is similar to the coloration of {{p|Crobat}}.
* The reason of the type combination of fossil Pokémon Is with Rock types is because of its state of being a fossil. Aerodactyl's type combination is Rock-Flying, so it is possible that Aerodactyl was once of the Flying type, if it wasn't for the extinction of the species.
*Aerodactyl is one of the few [[Generation I]] Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Lapras}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
* Aerodactyl has the same cry as {{p|Vileplume}}
===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|pterosaur}}s, prehistoric flying reptiles.
====Name origin====
Aerodactyl's name may be a pun, combining ''aero'', {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for air, with the similar sounding ''{{wp|pterodactyl}}''. Its Japanese name is simply a shortening of the word ''pterodactyl''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Aerodactyl
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ptera
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 프테라 ''Peutera''

'''Vileplume''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラフレシア''' ''Ruffresia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Vileplume has a much larger "flower" on its head, and it still resembles a Rafflesia flower.
====Gender differences====
A female has fewer, but bigger, spots on its petals.

====Special abilities====
Vileplume scatters toxic spores and releases noxious gases.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
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.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
Vileplume first appeared making cameo appearances in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation]]'', being one of the Pokémon owned by the attendants at the [[Celadon Gym]]. One was also seen at a party in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''.
[[Image:Whichever Way the Wind Blows!.jpg|thumb|left|Two Vileplume (right) attacking two {{p|Bellossom}}.]] [[Image:Vile.jpg|thumb|right|A differently patterned Vileplume, as observed by [[Misty]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.]]
Its first major appearance was in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony]]''. The walking rafflesia flower was under the ownership of [[James]]'s fiancee, [[Jessiebelle]]. Prior to the flashback when James ran away from home, it was once an Oddish.

A Vileplume was among the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

{{Ash}}, {{Tracey}} and [[Jessie]] were affected by a Vileplume's {{M|Stun Spore}} in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''.

Groups of Vileplume and {{p|Bellossom}} were feuding with each other in ''[[EP239|Whichever Way the Wind Blows]]''.

[[Nicolette]] used a Vileplume to battle [[May's Munchlax]] in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''.

A Vileplume appeared at the start of ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]''. It was running through the forest throughout the night after being woken with a shock when a {{p|Nuzleaf}} fell out of its tree, hitting the Vileplume on its head.

==In the manga==
Vileplume is one of the Pokémon owned by [[Erika]] in [[Pokémon Special]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Vileplume (TCG)}}

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=grass
|gen=1
|redbluedex=The larger its petals, the more toxic pollen it contains. Its big head is heavy and hard to hold up.
|yellowdex=Flaps its broad flower petals to scatter its poisonous pollen. The flapping sound is very loud.
|stadiumdex=Scatters allergy-causing pollen from its broad petals. The larger the petals, the more pollen is scattered.
|golddex=It has the world's largest petals. With every step, the petals shake out heavy clouds of toxic pollen.
|silverdex=The bud bursts into bloom with a bang. It then starts scattering allergenic, poisonous pollen.
|crystaldex=By shaking its big petals, it scatters toxic pollen into the air, turning the air yellow.
|stadium2dex=It has the world's largest petals. With every step, the petals shake out heavy clouds of toxic pollen.
|rubydex=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.
|sapphiredex=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.
|emeralddex=In seasons when it produces more pollen, the air around a Vileplume turns yellow with the powder as it walks. The pollen is highly toxic and causes paralysis.
|firereddex=Its petals are the largest in the world. It fiendishly scatters allergy-causing pollen from its petals.
|leafgreendex=The larger its petals, the more toxic pollen it contains. Its big head is heavy and hard to hold up.
|diamonddex=Its petals are the largest in the world. As it walks, it scatters extremely allergenic pollen.
|pearldex=Its petals are the largest in the world. As it walks, it scatters extremely allergenic pollen.

==Trivia==
*Vileplume shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Bellossom}}. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.
Vileplume has the same cry as Aerodactyl.
===Origin===
Vileplume, like {{p|Gloom}}, is based on the {{wp|rafflesia arnoldii}}, a foul-smelling flower. This [[Pokémon]] more strongly resembles the flower than Gloom, which may represent the budding stage of the rafflesia.
====Name origin====
Vileplume's name comes from a combination of ''vile'' and ''plume''. Its Japanese name is a corruption of the word ''{{wp|rafflesia}}''.
