Strategy Overview

Paras is weak, frail, slow, and cursed with a poor typing that leaves it weak to common Ice-, Flying-, and Rock-type attacks, though it is resistant to Fighting-type attacks. It does have two very useful moves in Spore and Knock Off, but unfortunately for Paras, Foongus exists and has a much better typing, better bulk, and a neutrality to Stealth Rock.
