Trivia

• This card's Pokémon Power when used in tandem with Brock's Ninetales's Shapeshift Pokémon Power was widely exploited in Japanese leagues and tournaments before an errata was issued that prevented Pokémon Powers from being used when using Brock's Ninetales's Shapeshift Pokémon Power.
• This card's Pokédex entry erroneously refers to the plural of Vileplume as Vileplumes.
