ThePokemon TCGis filled with valuable Vileplume which, if kept in good condition, can make up a massive treasure trove. So take a trip into the garden and witness some gorgeous card art and original printings. These are the ten most valuable Vileplume cards in the Pokemon TCG.
Card values reflect the market value as seen on TCGPlayer.com and may be subject to fluctuation with time.
10Vileplume Rare Jungle $8.73
Rare But Not Holo
Jungle is the very first expansion to the Pokemon TCGafter the release of the Base set. One rare card that made its debut in the set is Vileplume. While this specific rarity does not have the holo foiling on the card art, it still maintains a healthy price.
What makes many of the original Pokemon cards unique is their card art, with some being illustrated in a very bright 2D painting style with others having a 3D render of the Pokemon. This particular Vileplume has a retro 3D look that fills you with nostalgia.
9Vileplume Southern Islands Promo $21.59
A Tropical Set Of Cards
The Southern Island Promo cards were originally released in Japan forthe release of Pokemon 2000. Eventually, the cards made their way to the West and are considered valuable due to how accurately the cards were transitioned from one region to the other.
The card depicts two Vileplume enjoying the sun and the tropical jungle. The card also has a foil body, making it look extra nice when viewed in your binder; however, once you get a taste of one Southern Island card, you will want to go find the rest.
8Vileplume GX Rainbow Rare $27.13
A Trainer And Their Vileplume
Erika is the Grass-type Gym Leader from the Kanto region and inthe Cosmic Eclipse set, she and her Vileplume are depicted on certain rarities of Vileplume GX. Rainbow Rare is often a highly coveted rarity because it dips the card in a premium-looking rainbow foiling with a textured card surface.
While a step up from normal GX cards, the only thing keeping the price from skyrocketing is that the rainbow blocks the gorgeous card art. Regardless, this is still one valuable version of Vileplume GX from the Sun and Moon era of the card game.
7Dark Vileplume $33.94
Team Rocket Strikes Again
Dark Pokemon invaded the TCG inthe Team Rocket expansion. These powerful cards have a gimmick in which they are considered evil versions of their regular counterparts. This means they have more aggressive attacks but often leave themselves a bit more vulnerable with lower HP.
Dark Vileplume has a holo card art foiling and if you look closely, you will notice that it has a rather sinister smile as opposed to its usual peaceful one. For its full value, don’t forget to check for the first edition stamp on the left.
6Vileplume Expedition $37.14
A Sparkling Night Sky
The Expedition set of the Pokemon TCGcontains yet another Vileplume printing, this time with an E-Reader barcode. The card has holo foiling, making the night sky look more magical. The card will show you its Pokedex data when scanned on the E-Reader device for your Game Boy Advance.
Cards like these are always worth seeking out since the barcode gives these Pokemon a unique card design unlike any other. The ones in scannable condition always fetch the highest prices since they can still perform their intended function.
5Vileplume EX $43.72
Vileplume Powers Up
The Hidden Legends set of the Pokemon TCG introduced another Vileplume with its EX line of cards. This special Vileplume has extra holo foiling on the card border as well as within the art box itself. Cards with a special border always look nice and make you wonder what rainbow rare would look like if it only took up the border.
It also has a pretty neat ability to shut down your opponent from using Trainer Cards. So, not only does the card look neat, but the ability is also something that would terrify modern players.
4Vileplume GX Full Art $45.88
A Full View Of Erika And Vileplume
The Grass-type has always been presented as a type of peace, nature, and tranquility. The full art of Vileplume GX from the Cosmic Eclipse set shares all these traits. This time, the artwork on the card is fully visible since it does not have the rainbow foiling.
It features Erika sleeping peacefully by Vileplume’s side. It’s not a particularly busy day at the Gym and both Trainer and Pokemon look perfectly content with spending the day like this. Full; art cards like these are always with money since they’re like mini collectible prints of their favorite characters.
3Vileplume Jungle Holo Rare $54.79
The Rarest Debut
The rarest version of Vileplume that can be found in its original Jungle set is the holo rare version of Vileplume. This card will look very similar to the rare version, but the background will have that holographic look to it that sparkles when you tilt it side to side.
Aside from having the first edition stamp on it, there are a few other details to determine how much your Vileplume is worth. Keep an eye on the holo foiling, since some printing errors cause the card art box to have a line that appears right through it. Those with clean boxes are worth more.
2Erika’s Vileplume Gym Heroes $70.50
The Power of Erika
The Gym Heroes set of the Pokemon TCGintroduces the concept of Gym Leader Cards. These are specially marked Pokemon that belong to each of the eight Gym Leaders from the Kanto region. In this instance, the Vileplume belongs to Erika and has her face on the bottom right.
This card also has a different formatting than the cards that came before it with a restructuring of where the weaknesses, resistance, and retreat cost are placed. This card also has holo foiling on the art and a first edition stamp. Look for these to determine if your card is the right one.
1Vileplume Aquapolis $79.99
The Most Expensive Vileplume
The most expensive Vileplume can be found inthe Aquapolis set of the Pokemon TCG. This set contains many E-Reader cards, some of which can go up pretty high in price. The card has a stylized Vileplume surrounded by the sparkles of its holo foiling.
This E-Reader card shares the same function as its other E-Reader printings but its rarity, style, and condition allow it to become the most valuable part of your Vileplume collection. If you already have it in your bulk, then that is the rarest flower of them all.
