Abilities

Pokémon Power: Pollen Defense
If an attack does damage to Erika's Vileplume while it's your Active Pokémon (even if it's Knocked Out), flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused. This power works even while Erika's Vileplume is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Attacks

Mega Drain30
If Erika's Vileplume does damage to the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), remove a number of damage counters from Erika's Vileplume equal to half the damage done to the Defending Pokémon (rounded up to the nearest 10). If Erika's Vileplume has fewer damage counters than that, remove all of them.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts a small, dark creature with a large, vibrant pink flower atop its head, floating confidently against a sparkling cosmic background, radiating an aura of mystery and botanical power.

Playability Overview

Erika's Vileplume offers strategic disruption with Pollen Defense and decent sustainability through Mega Drain's healing, but its moderate HP and retreat cost limit its competitive viability.
