Pokédex Description

Generation 1
Red, Blue

A host-parasite pair in which the parasite mushroom has taken over the host bug. Prefers damp places.

Yellow

The bug host is drained of energy by the mushrooms on its back. They appear to do all the thinking.

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.

Generation 3

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.

Generation 7
Sun

The large mushroom on its back controls it. It often fights over territory with Shiinotic.

Moon

It scatters toxic spores from its mushroom cap. Once harvested, these spores can be steeped and boiled down to prepare herbal medicines.

The bug is mostly dead, with the mushroom on its back having become the main body. If the mushroom comes off, the bug stops moving.

Ultra Moon

Its poisonous spores are also used in traditional medicine. Apparently, spores produced in Alola are not of very good quality.
