Vileplume seems to be based on ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}'', a genus of parasitic plants known for their large, foul smelling flowers. It is especially similar to ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}'', which produces the largest single flower on Earth. Female Vileplume resemble ''{{wp|Rafflesia hasseltii}}'' due to the larger spots on their petals. | Vileplume seems to be based on ''{{wp|Rafflesia}}'', a genus of parasitic plants known for their large, foul smelling flowers.

It's habit of attracting prey with its petals before immobilizing and devouring them is similar to the behavior of various {{wp|carnivorous plants}}. | |||
