About Paras

The mushrooms, known as tochukaso, are controlling the bug. Even if the bug bugs the mushrooms, they tell it to bug off.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Paras scuttling through a forest floor, its bright orange claws raised as purple mushrooms with yellow spots grow prominently on its back, surrounded by autumnal leaves and soft foliage.

Playability Overview

Paras has low HP and only a basic attack, making it generally weak and less viable in competitive play without support or evolution.

Binder Inspiration

Main Binder Theme: Forest Floor FindsThis Paras card fits great on a nature-focused page with other forest and bug-type Pokémon. The warm, earthy background gives a cozy feel that works well next to mushrooms, leaves, or critters you'd find in the underbrush. Use it as a subtle connector between your bug and grass types.Additional Binder Suggestions: Forest / Calm / Earthy Orange / Mushroom Patch / Bug Life
