History
Paras, the Mushroom Pokémon, is an iconic creature from the early generations, recognizable by the Tochukaso mushrooms growing on its back. These mushrooms, initially symbiotic, gradually become parasitic, eventually taking complete control of Paras's body when it evolves into Parasect. This fascinating concept of symbiosis and parasitism is central to the identity of this Bug and Grass-type Pokémon.
