| The husk of Parasect shambles around, mindless and only serving to spread spores. It does not react properly to its environment, and prefers places that are damp and dark.

Trivia
- Altaran Parasect is based on toxic and hallucinogenic mushrooms, particularly the death cap, psilocybin, and destroying angel.
- Unlike most following Pokémon which at most react to their surroundings in a few maps, Altaran Parasect has fully unique follower text.
