Poké-POWER ⇢ Energy Reaction
Once during your turn (before your attack), when you attach a {G} or {P} Energy card from your hand to Vileplume (excluding effects of attacks or Poké-Powers), you may use this power. If you attach a {G} Energy card, the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep. If you attach a {P} Energy card, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. This power can’t be used if Vileplume is affected by a Special Condition.

{P}{C}{C} → Disturbing Pollen : 60
Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent can’t play any Trainer, Supporter, or Stadium cards from his or her hand during your opponent’s next turn.

    Oh, so there was something like Roserade before.

    This is the only grass-type Vileplume card that *explicitly* has a poison-type attack.
    But, just like Expedition Vileplume and Vileplume-ex in Hidden Legends, it has a psychic-type weakness. Implying that maybe it’s supposed to be poison type after all? 🥀 🥀
    Doesn’t really matter–the Pokemon TCG has been a bit loosey-goosey with types and weaknesses, sometimes!

    One reason for something pointed out in an earlier in comment – probably the main reason – is that this Vileplume, as a BDSP-numbered card, is presumably meant to evolve from some BDSP-numbered Oddish and Gloom. That would be the {G}-type Oddish (#LA-111) and {G}-type Gloom (#LA-96) in this same set. However, unlike what Pokémon meant to evolve into a Pokémon of a different type and different attack cost typically do, that Oddish and Gloom don’t have all colorless attack costs*, but actually include {G} in their attack costs. So there’s some flawed assumption here?

    Legends Awakened is a combination of two ‘twinned mini-sets’ – DP5 秘境の叫び [Cry from the Mysterious] and DP5 怒りの神殿 [Temple of Anger]. Those two {G}-type cards I mention are included in the latter set, and are designed around evolving into the Bellossom in that set (#LA-20), a {G}-type card with {G}-type attacks. Gloom is not included in the same set, it’s instead separate from them in Cry from the Mysterious. But rather than being an ‘orphaned card’ of sorts, it has its own cards to evolve from, the {P}-type Oddish (#LA-112) and {P}-type Gloom (#LA-97). This Vileplume is carrying on their {P} Weakness and {P} attack costs, even though it’s changed to a {G}-type card. I’ve always assumed this has something to do with BDSP-numbered cards usually sticking to orthodox representations of the Pokémon in question, so it’s an interesting balance of design for the TCG as a game to be played and design for the TCG as cards to be collected and look nice in a binder.

    *As a modern example, look at the Rowlet and Dartrix in ASR. Their attack costs are colorless as they’re designed around evolving into ASR Hisuian Decidueye, which doesn’t have {G} in any of its attack costs.
