#59 Paras - Jungle (base2)
Paras is a Grass-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It features two attacks: Scratch, which deals 20 damage after paying two Colorless Energy costs, and Spore, which uses two Grass Energy to put the defending Pokémon to sleep. The card’s retreat cost is one Colorless Energy, making it relatively easy to deploy. It has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. The flavor text describes Paras as a creature that burrows to suck tree roots, with mushrooms on its back drawing nutrients from the bug host. Artist Ken Sugimori designed the card, and it belongs to the Base series released in 1999 as part of the Jungle set. Paras is classified as a Common rarity card, reflecting its accessibility in the Pokémon TCG collection.
