Parasect overview
Parasect, the Mushroom Pokémon, is a dual Bug and Grass type Pokémon registered at National Pokédex number 47.
It stands 1 m tall and weighs 29.5 kg, and it was first introduced in Generation I where it is typically found in Forest habitats.
Mushroom-lacking specimens of this Pokémon lie unmoving in the forest, lending credence to the hypothesis that the large mushroom is in control of parasect's actions. The bug host is drained of energy by the mushroom on its back. The mushroom appears to do all the thinking. Its poisonous spores are also used in traditional medicine. Apparently, spores produced in alola are not of very good quality.
