What it does
No Trainer cards can be played. This power stops working while Dark Vileplume is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Flip a coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads. If you get 2 or more heads, Dark Vileplume is now Confused (after doing damage).
Perhaps because of their strong-smelling pollen, other Pokémon do not approach areas where Vileplumes live.

Where it came from
Dark Vileplume was released in the Team Rocket expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in Japan in 1997 and internationally in 2000. This set marked a significant departure from the original base sets, introducing the 'Dark' Pokémon concept to reflect the villainous team's influence in the game lore. The card was designed to mechanically represent the theme of interference and disruption, featuring the 'Heal Allergy' Pokémon Power, which prevented both players from using Trainer cards.
The illustration was rendered by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and recognizable contributors to the early TCG era. Arita focused on a somber, atmospheric depiction that contrasted with the more vibrant, standard artwork of the time, emphasizing the ominous nature of the Team Rocket aesthetic. Upon release, the card was widely utilized in competitive play for its ability to stall game flow, earning it a lasting reputation among collectors and players as a definitive card of the late nineties era.
