Its Ability

Energy Reaction

Once during your turn (before your attack), when you attach a Grass or Psychic Energy card from your hand to Vileplume (excluding effects of attacks or Poké-Powers), you may use this power. If you attach a Grass Energy card, the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep. If you attach a Psychic Energy card, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. This power can't be used if Vileplume is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Disturbing Pollen

60

Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent can't play any Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards from his or her hand during your opponent's next turn.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Energy Reaction. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,837 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  3. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Gloom to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Psychic +30. Against a Psychic Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,837 tournament lists we have read, 3,458 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
