Mushroom-lacking specimens of this Pokémon lie unmoving in the forest, lending credence to the hypothesis that the large mushroom is in control of Parasect's actions.
The bug host is drained of energy by the mushroom on its back. The mushroom appears to do all the thinking.
Its poisonous spores are also used in traditional medicine. Apparently, spores produced in Alola are not of very good quality.
The bug is mostly dead, with the mushroom on its back having become the main body. If the mushroom comes off, the bug stops moving.
It scatters toxic spores from its mushroom cap. Once harvested, these spores can be steeped and boiled down to prepare herbal medicines.
The large mushroom on its back controls it. It often fights over territory with Shiinotic.
