Parasect

Parasect (Japanese: パラセクト Parasect) is a dual-type Bug/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation I. The insect has been drained of nutrients and is now under the control of the fully-grown tochukaso. The mushroom appears to do all the thinking.

It is the evolved form of Paras.

Parasect can thrive in dank forests with a suitable amount of humidity for growing fungi. Swarms of this Pokémon have been known to infest trees. The swarm will drain the tree of nutrients until it dies, and will then move on to a new tree. Its former signature move is Spore.

Its name may be a combination of parasite and insect or sect, which is Latin for cut, possibly referring to it being able to learn the move Cut.
