PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Bug Attacker:Fury Cutter X-Scissor
- Grass Attacker:Fury Cutter Solar Beam
Parasect has good moves in its arsenal but its stats are too low to make them worthwhile for PvE relevance. Don't use it in Raids or Gyms, it's just meant to be a Pokédex addition.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:Fury Cutter X-Scissor Cross Poison
- Ultra League:Fury Cutter X-Scissor Cross Poison
🔵 Great League
Parasect can bait shields but it has low stats and too many exploitable weaknesses, making it extremely underwhelming in PvP. With a max CP of only 2102, Parasect is too weak for the Ultra and Master League.
