#85 Paras - Base Set 2 (base4)

Paras is a Grass-type Pokémon with 40 HP and a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Scratch, which costs two Colorless energy to deal 20 damage, and Spore, a Grass-type attack that uses two Grass energy to put the defending Pokémon to sleep. The card’s flavor text describes Paras as a creature that burrows to suck tree roots, with mushrooms on its back growing by drawing nutrients from the bug host. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, this card is part of the Base Set 2, released in February 2000. It has a weakness to Fire-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s theme color is a warm earth tone, matching its Grass typing. With a rarity of Common, Paras is numbered 85 in the set and corresponds to Pokémon number 46 in the Pokédex.
