Story

Paras is a small, red-orange Pokémon with six legs and sharp claws that make it look like a little insect. Its body is segmented with three pairs of legs, and it has big, round eyes. But the most interesting part? The red-and-yellow mushrooms that grow right on its back! These mushrooms love to soak up nutrients and even guide Paras around, especially when it needs to find yummy tree roots.

Living in the forest, Paras uses its sharp claws to explore and dig. The mushrooms on its back are popular for their special uses and often catch the attention of explorers and collectors. Paras can also be found in damp caves, always enjoying the cool and moisture-rich places that make its mushrooms grow best.
