Parasect

Biology
Parasect is the host bug that carries a big mushroom on the top of its body upon evolution. The mushroom is fused form of the two mushrooms that would draw the Pokémon before evolving. The mushroom has all the brain control on it and the bug serves as the mushroom's servant. Just like their unevolved form, a contact with it can be so dangerous that the chances of getting a status problem are very high. As it is stated in, the spore on the mushroom 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 is poached for their spores to be sold in the black market.

Behaviour
Parasect feeds on the tree roots. Because of the mushroom it carries that works as a brain, Parasect is 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 so carelessly that eventually it kills the bug and mushroom fades out in time because they can't find another host. As it is stated in, Parasect is very protective of its family. It lives together with them and defends other members.

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