Vileplume (Japanese: ラフレシア, Rafureshia) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It evolves from Gloom when exposed to a Leaf Stone. Vileplume is characterized by its indigo, bipedal body and a large red flower with white spots on its head. This flower is said to have the largest petals in the world. Vileplume can release clouds of toxic pollen by flapping its petals; this pollen is highly allergenic to humans and paralyzes its prey. Female Vileplume have fewer but larger spots on their flower's petals. Typically found in grassy plains, it is often mistaken for local flowers. Vileplume has made numerous appearances in the Pokémon anime, often under the ownership of various trainers.
