Vileplume (Japanese: ラフレシア Ruffresia) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Gloom when exposed to a Leaf Stone. It is one of Oddish's final forms, the other being Bellossom.

Biology

Vileplume is an indigo, bipedal Rafflesia-like Pokémon with rudimentary hands and feet. It has beady red eyes and a small mouth, and its head and torso are a single joined segment. On its head is a massive red flower with five bulky petals and an orange-brown center. Vileplume's flower is said to have the largest petals in the world and is almost too heavy for the Pokémon itself to support. The rounded petals of the flower are red and covered with white spots. A female Vileplume has fewer, but larger, spots on its petals. When defeated in the side series games, Vileplume's body appears to either deflate or withers while the flower remains.

Vileplume can shake, flap, or burst its petals into bloom with a bang in order to release clouds of pollen. This pollen is yellow and highly allergenic to humans, and toxic to other Pokémon; Vileplume uses it to paralyze its prey before devouring it. The larger the Vileplume's petals are, the more potent the toxin on its pollen is. Vileplume's behavior of flapping its petals also makes very loud noises. In Generation I, Petal Dance was its signature move. Being the result of an evolution via Evolution stone, Vileplume is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in grassy plains. It is often mistaken for local flowers in the wild.

Evolution

Vileplume evolves from Gloom and is one of the final forms of Oddish, the other being Bellossom.

Trivia

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Vileplume seems to be based on a mandrake, plants from the Mandragora genus whose roots sometimes resemble human figures; and Rafflesia, a genus of parasitic plants known for their large, foul smelling flowers. It is especially similar to Rafflesia arnoldii, which produces the largest single flower on Earth. Female Vileplume resemble Rafflesia hasseltii due to the larger spots on their petals.

Its habit of attracting prey with its petals before immobilizing and devouring them is similar to the behavior of various carnivorous plants.

Name origin

Vileplume may be a combination of vile and plume (object that resembles a feather; cloud of dispersed substance) or bloom.

Ruffresia may be derived from Rafflesia.
