Paras
Oracle Text
Attack Scratch (10)
Attack Double-edge Claw (30): Paras does 10 damage to itself.
Card Details
Character Background
Paras is a straightforward Jungle Basic that shines as an early-game tempo piece, using its modest Scratch for 20 damage while its Spore attack buys crucial turns by putting the Defending Pokémon to Sleep. In practice, that makes it best suited to control or disruption shells that want to slow the opponent down long enough to set up stronger Grass attackers. Because it is a Basic with no setup cost, Paras can be a flexible opener that forces awkward switches or wasted turns, especially if paired with cards that increase Sleep pressure or punish stalled Active Pokémon. A useful deckbuilding tip is to include Gust of Wind-style effects or retreat-taxing support so the opponent cannot simply pivot out of Sleep and ignore the tempo loss. Lore-wise, Paras feels like a small forest crawler relying on fungal toxins rather than brute force, and that identity is reflected perfectly in a game plan built on attrition and annoyance rather than raw damage.
