Overview |
When Paras evolve, their fungi entirely overtake their bodies and minds. Parasect dwell in damp places due to their fungi’s own preferences for moisture (they often compete with Shiinotic for land). They swarm at the roots of trees, draining them until there is nothing left before moving on to new trees together. They are highly aggressive, attacking foes with their claws and using moves such as Fury Cutter. The mushrooms on their backs also scatter poisonous spores around them; the larger the fungus, the more virulent the toxins. These spores are steeped into teas in traditional medicine; it is said spores from Parasect in Alola are weaker and less effective. They can also utilize the move Spore, which puts opponents into deep slumbers. Parasect fungi are also prized as medicine. collectors are known to pay large sums of money or teach trainers’ Pokémon new moves in exchange for these valuable “Big Mushrooms.” Throughout their lives, the mushrooms continues to drain their hosts until there is nothing left. At that point, they scatter spores over their hosts’ eggs to restart the cycle. If a Parasect's mushroom is entirely removed, the Pokémon enters a comatose state indefinitely.
