#17 Vileplume - Southern Islands (si1)

Vileplume is a Grass-type Pokémon with 70 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It has no resistances and is weak to Fire attacks, which deal double damage. The card features artwork by Naoyo Kimura and is part of the Southern Islands set, released in July 2001. Its flavor text describes a Pokémon that produces a loud jangling noise while spreading poison powder through its petals. Vileplume has two attacks: Paradise Pollen, which costs one Grass energy and allows the player to remove damage counters from itself or Benched Pokémon, and Horrid Pollen, which requires two Grass and one Colorless energy to deal 30 damage and apply Paralyze or Confusion to the defending Pokémon. The card’s converted retreat cost is two, matching its energy requirement. It is numbered 17 in the dex and associated with the Pokémon species number 45.
