Team Rocket — 13/82 — Rare Holo
Perhaps because of their strong-smelling pollen, other Pokémon do not approach areas where Vileplumes live.
Mantidactyle
One of the most broken Pokémon in the Pokémon history
When it is in play, you can only play Energy cards and Pokémon
Stupid combos are so numerous that it would take too much time to list, but here are a faw :
Aerodactyl + Dark Vileplume + Aggron Ex
Murkrow + Dark Vileplume
discarding opponent’s had (easy to do) + Dark Vileplume
[List too long]

So this card’s Power is very much like the modern day Vileplume only, since this card is very old, it targets ALL Trainers as well, not just Items.
Broken indeed.
PS. ROFL at Aerodactyl + Dark Vileplume + Aggron Ex !!

Does Trainers include Stadiums and Supporters?
feyblade
This predates trainers (Gym leader sets) and the e-reader sets(E-Reader sets.)
As such, it reads stadiums and supporters as trainer cards, as well, due to errata.
HEZ
So it’s not really the card itself that’s broken but the official errata applied to old cards. I find it a bizarre ruling, especially because you must keep in mind when a card was printed and apply errata mid-game, promoting Unlimited play just isn’t in their current marketing strategy (and I doubt it ever will be) so the rules for it are kind of thrown together.
Logan
60 hp………..
Mantidactyle
But utterly broken
Logan
60 hp. eh.
Ziggmiceter
With almost no way to bring it up and sniping not being popular in Unlimited, why does it matter?
Curtis
Well, there is Bright Look to bring it up, but that’s about it. Nobody really plays Luxray G Lvl X or Ninetales DRX in Unlimited, though.

I always found Dark Vileplume so adorable!
