Silver | The larger the mushroom on its back grows, the stronger the mushroom spores it scatters. |
Crystal | When nothing’s left to extract from the bug, the mushrooms on its back leave spores on the bug’s egg. |
Ruby Sapphire |
PARASECT is known to infest large trees en masse and drain nutrients from the lower trunk and roots. When an infested tree dies, they move onto another tree all at once. |
FireRed | It scatters toxic spores from the mushroom cap. In China, the spores are used as herbal medicine. |
LeafGreen | A host-parasite pair in which the parasite mushroom has taken over the host bug. Prefers damp places. |
Emerald | PARASECT are known to infest the roots of large trees en masse and drain nutrients. When an infested tree dies, they move onto another tree all at once. |
Diamond Platinum |
