About the Pokémon

Vileplume is the Flower Pokémon, recorded as No. 045 in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation I, associated with the Kanto generation of games. Its large petals support a substantial supply of toxic pollen. It evolves from Gloom.

About the Expansion

Pokémon Jungle arrived in Japan on 5 March 1997 as the second main expansion. Its 48-card checklist expanded the original Kanto selection with Pokémon including Eevee's evolutions and Snorlax. These Japanese cards retain the original Pocket Monsters back and predate the differently structured English Jungle release of 1999.

Artwork & Collector's Notes

Keiji Kinebuchi is credited for this Pokémon Jungle illustration of Vileplume. The holofoil finish, original Pocket Monsters reverse and Japanese text identify this printing. The No. 045 identifier is a Pokédex number, not an English set checklist position.
