Vileplume

Vileplume on cards: Jungle, Dark Vileplume and Erika's Vileplume

Vileplume's first card is Jungle #15 (June 1999), a holo Rare illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi. Team Rocket (2000) printed Dark Vileplume in holo and non-holo versions by Kagemaru Himeno, one of the Dark Pokémon that depicted Pokémon raised by Team Rocket. Gym Heroes (2000) followed with Erika's Vileplume, a Holo Rare by Ken Sugimori.

The e-Card sets kept it in holo: Expedition Base Set (2002) by Miki Tanaka and Aquapolis (2003, H31) by Kyoko Umemoto. Hidden Legends (2004) printed Vileplume ex by Ryo Ueda, and Holon Phantoms (2006) printed Vileplume δ by Mitsuhiro Arita, a Delta Species card that turns it into a Psychic and Metal type.

Vileplume GX and later printings

Cosmic Eclipse (2019) printed Vileplume GX three ways: the regular card, a full art (#211) and a Secret Rare (#250) numbered beyond the set's main list, with Kagemaru Himeno credited as illustrator. Paldean Fates (2024) added a Shiny rare, Phantasmal Flames (2025) a Rare by Shibuzoh., and Ascended Heroes (2026) brought back the Gym Leader link with Erika's Vileplume ex.
