Biology
Parasect are the host bug which carry a big mushroom on the top of their body upon evolution. The mushroom is fused form of the two mushrooms that drew the Pokémon before evolving. The mushroom has all the brain control on it, and the bug serves as the mushroom orders. Just like their unevolved form, a contact with these Pokémon can be so dangerous that the chances of getting a status problem are very high. As it was stated in, the spore on the mushrooms of Parasect would be used for medicine. According to the laws, the spores can be collected only in spring, as Parasect could produce the spore fast in that season. Outside of these seasons, Parasect are poached for their spores to be sold in the black market.

Behaviour
Parasect feed on the tree roots. Because of the mushroom they carry which works as a brain, Parasect are commonly found in damp places to serve the needs of the mushrooms, although it is not safe for the bug part of it. Since the mushroom has all the control, they use the bug body carelessly, which eventually ends up with the death of the bug, and mushroom fades out in time, as they can't find another host. As it was stated in, the Parasect are very protective of their family. They live together, and defend each other. They do not want to leave one of the species leave behind, no matter the conditions.

Habitat
Parasect have been found or encountered as a wild Pokémon in Viridian Forest in Kanto.
