Revision as of 00:09, 25 May 2015

Paras (Japanese: パラス Parasu) is a Bug/Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology

Physiology

Paras is very crablike, as it has six legs. The front two legs are very large, allowing Paras to grip on to prey and its environment. The most distinct feature are the two mushrooms on its back. It also has very large eyes on the top of its head.

Special Abilities

Paras can have the ability Effect Spore or Dry Skin. Effect Spore makes the foe paralyzed, asleep or poisoned 30% of the time whenever the foe hits Paras with a physical move. Dry Skin causes Paras to recover HP when it is raining and lose HP when it is sunny. The mushrooms on Paras' back have a mutualism with each other. The mushrooms get energy from Paras, while Paras gets to create spores.

Evolution

Paras evolves into Parasect once it reaches level 24.

Anime

Main article: Cassandra's Parasect
File:Paras.png

Paras is featured in The Problem with Paras under the ownership of Cassandra. It is extremely weak, but Cassandra needed it to evolve into a Parasect so she can use the giant mushroom to aid in her medical research. It does so towards the end of the episode.

Trivia

  • Paras has a similar in-game cry as Mewtwo's.
  • Paras was originally called Parasyte.
  • When first caught, the PokeDex will say this: "This Pokémon has not been identified in Hoenn.", even though Paras appeared in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Version.

Origins

Paras appears to be based on a cicada larva whilst its name is a shortening of parasite.
