Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | 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. |
| Red | A host-parasite pair in which the parasite mushroom has taken over the host bug. Prefers damp places. |
| Blue | A host-parasite pair in which the parasite mushroom has taken over the host bug. Prefers damp places. |
| Yellow | The bug host is drained of energy by the mushrooms on its back. They appear to do all the thinking. |
| Gold | It stays mostly in dark, damp places, the preference not of the bug, but of the big mushrooms on its back. |
| Silver | The larger the mushroom on its back grows, the stronger the mushroom spores it scatters. |
| Crystal | When nothing’s left to extract from the bug, the mushrooms on its back leave spores on the bug’s egg. |
| Firered | It scatters toxic spores from the mushroom cap. In China, the spores are used as herbal medicine. |
| Leafgreen | A host-parasite pair in which the parasite mushroom has taken over the host bug. Prefers damp places. |
| Heartgold | It stays mostly in dark, damp places, the preference not of the bug, but of the big mushroom on its back. |
| Soulsilver | The larger the mushroom on its back grows, the stronger the mushroom spores it scatters. |
| Sun | The large mushroom on its back controls it. It often fights over territory with Shiinotic. |
| Moon | It scatters toxic spores from its mushroom cap. Once harvested, these spores can be steeped and boiled down to prepare herbal medicines. |
| UltraSun | 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. |
| UltraMoon | Its poisonous spores are also used in traditional medicine. Apparently, spores produced in Alola are not of very good quality. |
