| Vileplume has a Prussian blue-colored, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|bipedal}} body like its pre-evolutions, but has changed in that it now has a much larger "flower" on its head. This "flower" is slightly different from {{p|Gloom}}'s flower, although it still resembles a {{wp|rafflesia}} flower. Vileplume are said to have the largest petals in the world, and they contribute to a large percentage of their height. The size of the petals in relation to the rest of the body make Vileplume very sheltered from the sun, as the petals almost act as a sun visor. | | Vileplume is a blue, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|bipedal}} Pokémon with beady eyes, rudimentary hands and feet, and a massive red flower emitting from its head. Vileplume's flower is said to have the largest petals in the world, and is almost too heavy for the Pokémon itself to support. Female Vileplume have fewer but larger spots on their petals. |

| ====Gender differences====
| | It can shake, flap, or burst its petals into bloom with a bang in order to release clouds of pollen. This pollen is highly allergenic to humans and toxic to other Pokémon; Vileplume uses it paralyze its prey. |

| ===Special abilities===
| | Vileplume lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}} and jungles, where it is often mistaken for native flowers. |
| Vileplume scatters {{m|PoisonPowder|toxic spores}} and releases noxious gases. Its toxic pollen sometimes triggers atrocious allergy attacks. It also has the world's largest petals that it uses to attract prey, and the larger its petals, the more pollen it scatters. The allergenic pollen is said to turn the air around Vileplume yellow, and is known to cause {{m|Stun Spore|paralysis}}. | |
| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| The bud bursts into bloom with a bang. In seasons when Vileplume produces more pollen, the petals shake out heavy clouds of it with each step, turning the air around it yellow. Vileplume may also loudly flap its flower petals to scatter its pollen. The petals are used to attract prey that is then doused with toxic spores. Once the prey is immobilized, Vileplume catches and devours them. Because of the flower's huge size, Vilplume has a hard time lifting up its head.
