Listen "Beyond the Ball 211 - Vileplume"
Episode Synopsis
We're on to Vileplume and it's bigger, floppier and perhaps no longer stinky. It's also definitely some combination of toxic, poisonous, and/or allergenic. Also Will says "rapscallion" twice in this episode! Follow along with the entries below:
Red & Blue: The larger its petals, the more toxic pollen it contains. Its big head is heavy and hard to hold up.
Yellow: Flaps its broad flower petals to scatter its poisonous pollen. The flapping sound is very loud.
Gold: It has the world’s largest petals. With every step, the petals shake out heavy clouds of toxic pollen.
Silver: The bud bursts into bloom with a bang. It then starts scattering allergenic, poisonous pollen.
Crystal: By shaking its big petals, it scatters toxic pollen into the air, turning the air yellow.
Ruby: VILEPLUME’s toxic pollen triggers atrocious allergy attacks. That’s why it is advisable never to approach any attractive flowers in a jungle, however pretty they may be.
Sapphire: VILEPLUME has the world’s largest petals. They are used to attract prey that are then doused with toxic spores. Once the prey are immobilized, this POKéMON catches and devours them.
FireRed: Its petals are the largest in the world. It fiendishly scatters allergy-causing pollen from its petals.
Emerald: In seasons when it produces more pollen, the air around a VILEPLUME turns yellow with the powder as it walks. The pollen is highly toxic and causes paralysis.
Diamond, Pearl, & Platinum: Its petals are the largest in the world. As it walks, it scatters extremely allergenic pollen.
BTB: Its record-breaking petals are fiendishly flapping a flood of finely-poisoned pollen so it can eat you. Yikes!
