This Dark Vileplume holo card (#045) is from the 1997 Japanese Pokémon Team Rocket (Rocket-dan) expansion. Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, it depicts Vileplume’s bright red petals set against a shimmering green holo-foil background with starburst sparkles. As a rare “Dark” Grass-type Pokémon card, it’s prized by collectors for its classic foil design and nostalgic first-generation appeal. Dark Vileplume’s own “Allergy Pollen” ability – which could lock players out of using Trainer cards – also gave it a notable role in vintage competitive play.
