Vileplume · Jungle, what to know.
About the Vileplume card
Numbered 15 of 64 in Jungle, released in June 1999, Vileplume is a Rare Holo, a Stage 2 Grass-type carrying 80 HP.
It evolves from Gloom, so Vileplume is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.
Illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi. Kinebuchi contributed a smaller body of Wizards-era cards but is responsible for several memorable holos, with a warm, heavily textured style.
Vileplume carries this Pokédex flavor text: "The larger its petals, the more toxic pollen it contains. Its big head is heavy and hard to hold up."
About Vileplume in the Pokémon world
The Grass-Poison final form of the Oddish line via Leaf Stone. Large red flower top. Jungle holo Vileplume was a tournament staple in 1999. PSA 10 1st Edition copies are scarcer than the population reports suggest because of how heavily it was played.
What is Vileplume worth?
Based on recent eBay sales, raw copies trade from $20 to $63 depending on the print and a PSA 10 runs from $1,400 to $3,050. The 1st Edition print is the most valuable, with a PSA 10 near $3,050. The table on this page breaks the price down by print and grade, updated 2026-05-30.
Print variants and how to spot them
Jungle shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited, with no Shadowless print. The Edition 1 stamp under the artwork separates the scarcer 1st Edition Vileplume from the Unlimited copy. The set also has the famous No Symbol error from its first print run, which adds a premium when the lower-right set symbol is missing.
Grading and condition
Expect the holo window to set the grade on Vileplume. Print misregistration and fine scratches in the grass foil are the usual reasons a copy lands at a 9, and edge whitening against the frame is the next thing a grader notes.
