I wanted to give a look at every Parasect card in the Pokémon TCG for...well, obvious reasons. From Jungle to 151, we'll see just what they did with the king of all shrooms.

[@dennissmith1072]

Parasect for gx. The people demand it.

[@Paraspectre]

Truth.

[@-Down-D-Stairs-]

Parasect ex

[@ShadowXeldron]

"Wait, how did he get Spike to wave?" **sees the string** Oh

[@Paraspectre]

I debated on not cropping out my wife’s hand moving the string, but I did. I kinda like that you can see it.

[@amalgam1210]

you know what the real crime is here? No shiny parasect. sadge.

[@Paraspectre]

Facts.

[@beanburrito4405]

Insane that Parasect has never been given a hit card, ever. And it’s been around since the beginning. Venomoth has had one of these, and it’s about as popular as Parasect

[@qwopiretyu]

Really doing Parasect dirty with that comparison. Who got more character? Parasitic fungus controlling an insect? Or perhaps... M O T H

[@MontyMoleLoreMaster]

@@qwopiretyu Not just any moth, but a malicious cold hearted killer that kills other bug types that hang around streetlights. You see this is why I prefer Dustox.

[@king_potato7567]

Even the parasect got tired of waving by the end lol

[@Paraspectre]

The longest two minutes ever

[@nickcasillas1618]

I just wanna say thank you for being such a cool KZbinr, these videos are genuinely some of the most chill and relaxing videos I get to look forward to with my subscription feed

[@Paraspectre]

Thanks, that’s nice to hear. I want it to be a comfortable time

[@SatiricalBitch]

My favourite Pokemon growing up was Caterpie (the anime episode where Ash catches him was one of the first I ever saw). I'm with you on loving underappreciated mons. Love your videos!

[@Paraspectre]

Ash’s Caterpie was pretty sweet. That Paras episode always sticks out to me too

[@SatiricalBitch]

@@Paraspectre Oh yeah, that was a good one too! I rewatched the series a few years back and it was so nostalgic.

[@MazterP28]

You can stack the parasect ability if it’s confused. So if you have 4 in play. They take 80 damage

[@Paraspectre]

Yeah that makes it pretty badass. It would be fun to base a deck around confusion

[@MarkBonneaux]

Fascinating watching the power creep of the Pokemon TCG with this sturdy mon

[@Paraspectre]

They’re just like bam. Solarbeam for 110. Let’s do it.

[@MarkBonneaux]

@@Paraspectre what's most bonkers to me was the one that could match HP with the OG Charizard. Like, I like Parasect too but I feel that's a bit nuts

[@mikeleddyphoto]

Oh wow. I don’t play the card games but I love hyper-specific deep dives and when that very first card showed up my jaw dropped! I had that as a kid. I haven’t had such a strong hit of nostalgia like I just did in a while

[@darkninjafirefox]

Paras and parasect are such underrated little guys, I love how legends arceus gave them an intense bloodlust. I like to imagine that them and nincada have a common ancestor given their similar design inspiration

[@JosukeUrameshi]

Paras has a special place in my heart because it was the first Pokémon card I pulled and therefore the first in my card binder. It was also the first Pokémon I caught in Blue that I took with me to the league along my over leveled Charizard.

[@ryanbowen4029]

Beard is looking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Paraspectre]

Why thank you. It’s something different

[@user-gv8yv9hr6y]

Paraspectre I love your pokemon TCG videos that you did for the Kanto and jhoto gym leaders

[@Paraspectre]

Oh thanks! Gen 3 will be sometime soon

[@user-gv8yv9hr6y]

@@Paraspectre my favorite gen of pokemon is gen 3 and I love what gen 3 has added to the games and the tcg I don't really care but still love your videos and it's just because I am a very big pokemon fan

[@Dockula]

I'm high and your changing voices. Fuckin me up. 😂😂

[@Paraspectre]

Always here to help 😎

[@p0st426]

One neat thing about the Aquapolis Parasect is that is also has data for the Construction: Action minigame on the long dot-code! You gotta have a few different cards in order to play the game, though.

[@takenname8053]

Never knew there was this much love for Parasect. I have truly been blessed.

[@RonanHallett]

Would absolutely love another vid like this!!! Maybe on sandshrew? Love the casual perspective on the tcg SO Much!

[@AlexeyPiet]

Go, Parasect! Extend Fungus! Ahem, wait... What?

[@Paraspectre]

Yeahhh… let’s uh, forget that one happened…

[@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God]

You are very underrated in the pokemon video space. Your videos are fantastic

[@LogogoFromKeron]

Amazing video!

[@Paraspectre]

Well thank you!

[@touta2647]

I really like the bright colors of the Neo Revelations card

[@Qythero]

I collected every parasect card two years ago and continue to get whatever new ones come out. The neo genesis aquapolis one is the most painful to get ahold of.

[@wildtofurkey1013]

Great videos as always, I want to be presumptious and say congratulations? I noticed the wedding ring at the waving outtro :)

[@Paraspectre]

Haha why thanks. Yeah I got married about 6 months ago

[@Jaminsongunner]

I feel like there are older Pokémon that would have a video shorter than this

[@pumpkinplushness]

Yay!!! What ive been wanting to see :D

[@Paraspectre]

Oh well that’s good to hear haha

[@GypsyxDarling]

Good luck on your card hunt!

[@Paraspectre]

Thanks! A card store trip is in my very near future

[@dickneywithplants7377]

Ah this was so cute and fun to watch!

[@dixel2047]

Yooooo great video

[@Paraspectre]

Thanks!

[@largemoose6064]

Haven't started watching this yet but I'm starting til the end for my boi Parasect

[@tyruswatson]

Was not expecting to see Mark Porch as WC Fields here.

[@Paraspectre]

There it is

[@GoodGuyWooper]

Really happy to see another parasect fan

[@Paraspectre]

Us shroomies gotta stick together

[@AirRideMaster]

One fun thing to note; thr 151 Parasect can get evolved Pokemon, not just basics! Can be fun because of it.

[@Paraspectre]

You know, I read that but didn’t really process it. That’s pretty crazy though

[@wolfyboom9786]

Love the video :)

[@Paraspectre]

Thanks! 🍄

[@GypsyxDarling]

I had a soft spot for that Team Up Parasect when it was in the game. I love mushroom status decks (the sleep Breloom was my other fave) but I still have such a fondness for that specific Parasect after trying it with Butterfree.

[@Paraspectre]

This was my first time really checking out the card, so that sounds fun thinking of deck ideas for it

[@omegaXjammur]

For decades, I've looked down upon parasect. Thanks to you, I show nothing but reverence towards it.

[@Paraspectre]

I feel like that’s a goal accomplished for me then 😎

[@TV_Rosso]

I love your love for this Pokémon

[@Paraspectre]

Heck yeah. It’s still not my absolute favorite but it’ll forever be a top 3 one.

[@momoapples]

The 151 Parasect art looks like a Ghibli movie

[@Paraspectre]

I can see it. It’s not a favorite of mine, but I do like it

[@TheLetterJ0]

It would be interesting to build a deck using a bunch of the different versions of Parasect and Paras (presumably ignoring the normal 4 copies limit) and pit it against similar decks of other Pokemon. And I like the look of the longer beard.

[@Paraspectre]

The limit of 4 rule is merely a suggestion 😌

[@Ddoublechin]

Gotta love parasect cards

[@momoapples]

Wondered when you were gonna do this

[@Paraspectre]

Kinda surprised it took me this long to

[@DiggZiggah]

Lol I died at the end 😅

[@NEOBlastoise]

dude i love parasect

[@samuelfraysse4209]

Really I love parasect. It's my goat

[@theteutonicorder9158]

You're alright, kid.

[@shadex08]

Finally what the people have been yearning for.

[@Paraspectre]

How did it take THIS long for KZbin to get a video about only Parasect cards? Ridiculous

[@marsella527]

I haven't played the card game since gen 2, but it's good to see the old boys getting love to this day

[@Paraspectre]

So cool that there’s at least one for every generation except 5. Gen 5 is the worst.

[@marsella527]

@Paraspectre even the gen 5 card game was going for the soft reboot (probably)

[@nodsoldier5802]

OMG SHROOOOM ARMY ASEMBLE LETS GOOOO

[@Paraspectre]

The hills will run red with spores

[@AllTheMimsy]

Allergic Pollen on Neo Revelation Parasect is great! So many cards and decks rely on getting things back from the discard pile, and Parasect just stops their strategy.

[@Paraspectre]

Fair point. It really depends on who you’re against I guess.

[@BigSlanko]

Parasect rocks frig yeah.

[@Dragonmist19X]

Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.

[@Paraspectre]

🙋🏻‍♂️ 🍄 👋

[@nicocchi]

I was gonna say that the newest Parasect is definitely not good because of powercreep but uh now that I'm reading, it doesn't say that the grass mons have to be basic or anything. Like, what, I could have a Parasect and all of a sudden I have two Meowscarada ex in my bench? I still wouldn't do it, but it looks like a fun cheater gimmick, definitely not a horrible card that only looks good when compared to the WotC cards with 20 years of hindsight; might not be viable but it has a fun trick at least. Very cool Parasect binder btw

[@Paraspectre]

Yeah that card can be pretty ridiculous I guess. And thank you, I gotta head back to the card stores here soon.

[@Laxbry]

We are SO back.

[@Paraspectre]

🍄🍄

[@samdogygaming918]

I wonder how paraspectre feels about the other bug types

[@Paraspectre]

There are some stellar bugs out there. Beedrill, Scizor, Vespiquen and Frosmoth come to mind as some favorites.

[@CarputingYT]

nice

[@Paraspectre]

🍄

[@marlysalt]

Nice

[@samuelfraysse4209]

Hey i'm not bragging or anything, just want to tell that parasect is my favorite pokemon too

[@terrysyvertson9205]

grass covers both grass and bug types

[@Paraspectre]

Very true. I didn’t say every card is Grass as a surprise or anything, just more for not having to mention it every time.

[@kephalai]

i thought there would be a mushroom under your hoodie..

[@Paraspectre]

I’m just a regular guy 😔

[@bradlauk1419]

Wait what's a parasect? Some kinda weird Oddish?

[@MontyMoleLoreMaster]

Parasect is the ultimate victim Pokémon tbh.

[@Mrfinch9999]

Do it for all Pokémon now lol

[@Paraspectre]

Oh boy. Maybe I will for Sandshrew, but I think even less people would care about that one 😅

[@AdjectiveOtter]

Not enough Parasect cards tbh

[@Paraspectre]

I both agree with this and I’m also kinda surprised that there are so many. It’s typically the forgotten gem Pokémon

[@gligarguy4010]

Such a shame Parasect never got a Mega, Z Move, Regional Form, or Paradox Form. Is 1:35 your idea for what Mega Parasect would look like, or do you have some other idea for another form?

[@Paraspectre]

That was a fan made card that I found. Maybe someday…

[@ericrizzotti9995]

PARAYES!

[@Paraspectre]

An excellent term

[@Paraspectre]

Yeah, the GBC ones are the only ones that really count to me.

[@robertcrist6059]

Set 151 was a great set to relive og days. I'm working my way through the set too although I don't care for the FA cards, the Pokemon with a solid color in the background, the art and look of the cards is dumb to me so I'm passing on those. But I need 12 parallel versions, 2 ex's, 11 of the secret really rare cards like Dragonair and the Erika's.

[@robertcrist6059]

I know you said you wanted to find your shroom boy in the wild, but if that same stance doesn't apply to 151 if you want to see if we can trade some duplicates to help finish eachothers sets I'm down for that.

[@Paraspectre]

I’m pretty close to having them all, I’m just missing a handful of the full art ones

[@robertcrist6059]

@@Paraspectre I've traded the ones I have pulled away, but Zapdos is the one I have left

[@nightspawnson-of-luna4936]

I might be wrong, but wasn't there also a Parasect Break?

[@Paraspectre]

It’s in the BREAKthrough set and the BREAK Starter Pack

[@nightspawnson-of-luna4936]

@@Paraspectre I know there's one in the set, but I thought they had an actual "Break" card for it, I must have had it confused with...some of the other kanto pokemon that got breaks in that set

I have the russian version of the breakthrough card, both normal and reverse

[@Paraspectre]

I haven’t mentioned the other language cards. I would love to get those as well.
