Vileplume ex is a Stage 2 ex Grass Pokémon with 140 HP. In the Pokédex this is Vileplume (#045), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Gloom. In this catalog that name is Gloom (#044).

Ryo Ueda illustrated this card. The same name is on 462 other cards in the catalog.

The earliest other card is Vileplume 15/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Vileplume, while this one is Vileplume ex. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. 20 other cards of Vileplume list a different HP.

Block Dust is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Vileplume ex is your Active Pokémon, your opponent can't play any Trainer cards (except for Supporter cards) from his or her hand. The attack Special Formula lists 50 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep and Poisoned. If tails, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for Hidden Legends, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Hidden Legends set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Vileplume can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
