11 Overview
22  
33 Paras is a Bug/Grass-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Mushroom Pokemon (Dex #017). It burrows under the ground to gnaw on tree roots, and the mushrooms on its back absorb most of the nutrition. Paras has the Search specialty, which allows it to locate hidden Lost Relics, Music CDs, and Mysterious Slates buried underground. In the main Pokemon series, Paras evolves into Parasect; in Pokopia, both spawn independently at their own habitats, with no in-game evolution mechanic.

1111 Both the Elevated Flower Bed (#012) and Flower Garden (#014) habitats attract Paras as a Common Pokemon. The Elevated Flower Bed requires raised terrain, while the Flower Garden is built at ground level. Both habitats also attract Paras's evolution, Parasect, though at a rarer level.

1717 How to Befriend
1818  
1919 Build either the Elevated Flower Bed or Flower Garden habitat in the Withered Wasteland. Paras will appear as a Common visitor at either location. Interact with it to receive a befriending request, then complete the request to have Paras join your team. Since Paras is Common at both habitats, it should appear quickly after either habitat is constructed.

2323 Paras has the Search specialty. Pokemon with Search can locate hidden Lost Relics, Music CDs, and Mysterious Slates buried underground. Walk around with Paras following you, and it will alert you when it detects a buried item by reacting with a visual cue. Use Rock Smash or dig at the indicated spot to unearth the hidden item.
