Dark Vileplume Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Vileplume stands out in Team Rocket because its Hay Fever Pokémon Power shuts off all Trainer cards, making it one of the most disruptive lock pieces of the early Pokémon TCG.
Set Lore
This card is part of the Team Rocket expansion, the set that introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG and gave familiar Kanto evolutions a more sinister Team Rocket identity.
Card History
Dark Vileplume was released in Team Rocket as both a Holofoil and a Non Holofoil rare, giving collectors two classic WotC-era ways to chase the same iconic lock card.
Artist
Its artwork was illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, one of the most recognizable early Pokémon TCG artists whose card art has appeared since the Jungle era and helped define the look of vintage Pokémon cards.
In-Game
Vileplume is closely tied to Erika in Pokémon history, serving as her signature Pokémon in the Kanto games, which gives Dark Vileplume extra nostalgia as a twisted take on one of the franchise’s most classic Grass types.
