Trivia

• Vileplume shares the same species name with Bellsprout and Bellossom. They are all known as Flower Pokémon.
• Vileplume has the same cry as Aerodactyl.
• Vileplume is one of the few Pokémon that appeared in the anime with an alternate coloration that was not its shiny coloration.

Origin

Vileplume, like Gloom, is based on the 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 rafflesia.

In other languages

• German: Giflor - from Gift (meaning poison) and flor.
• French: Rafflesia - From the flower of the same name.
• Korean: 라플레시아 Rapeullesia
• Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 霸王花 (Ba Wang Hua) - Chinese name of Rafflesia Arnoldii which it is based upon
