      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      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 AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 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.
