#38 Parasect - Supreme Victors (pl3)

Parasect is a Grass-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It appears in the Platinum series, specifically the Supreme Victors set, released on August 19, 2009. The card’s flavor text describes a mushroom grown larger than its host, which controls Parasect and scatters poisonous spores. Its primary attack, Nutritional Support, costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to search their deck for up to two Grass Energy cards, attaching them to any of their Pokémon before shuffling the deck. The secondary attack, Hibernation Spore, requires two Grass and one Colorless energy, dealing 40 damage while putting the defending Pokémon to sleep. This attack also alters the coin-flipping mechanic, allowing two flips instead of one between turns. If either flip results in tails, the defending Pokémon remains asleep. The card is classified as Rare and carries thedex number 47. Its weaknesses include Fire-type attacks, which deal an additional 20 damage.
