[[Category:Bug/Grass-type Pokémon]][[Category:Generation I Pokémon]] [[Category:Red Pokémon]] Paras (Japanese: パラス Paras) is a Bug/Grass-type Pokémon.
Appearance
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 Paras is hit by a physical move. The foe must be using a physical attack in order for this to happen. 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.
