Parasect

Set Description:
“Dark Phantasma” is a mysterious expansion to the Sword & Shield series, centered around Ghost-, Dark-, and Psychic-type Pokémon. The set features cards with dark artwork and captivating gameplay mechanics, ideal for players who enjoy strategies based on disruption and control.

Description of Parasect:
Parasect, the Mushroom Pokémon, is depicted in "Dark Phantasma" with a sinister and ominous vibe. Its body is partially covered in a large, toxic mushroom, and its eyes glow with a menacing glow. The card's background features a dark, foggy forest, emphasizing Parasect's ominous aura.

History of Parasect:
Parasect is the evolution of Paras, a Pokémon that is literally controlled by the mushroom it carries on its back. Over the years, the mushroom takes complete control of Parasect's body, making it more aggressive and dangerous. In some regions, Parasect is feared for its ability to spread toxic spores that can affect surrounding plants and Pokémon.

Parasect Abilities:
Parasect uses Grass and Bug type attacks. Its attack "Toxic Spore" puts the opponent to sleep while dealing poison damage. With "Controlling Parasite", it can drain the life energy of its opponent to heal itself. "Parasitic Mushroom" is a unique ability that allows it to create a shield of spores, reducing the damage it receives.
