#5 Parasect - Pokémon TCG Classic (Venusaur) (clf)

Parasect is a Pokémon with 80 HP featured in the Pokémon TCG Classic (Venusaur) set, released on October 31, 2023. Its attacks include "Nutritional Support," which requires one Colorless Energy to search the player’s deck for up to two Grass Energy cards and attach them to any of their Pokémon, followed by shuffling the deck. The second attack, "Hibernation Spore," costs two Grass Energy and one Colorless Energy to deal 40 damage and induce a sleep state on the defending Pokémon. This attack also alters the coin-flipping mechanic between turns, with the defending Pokémon remaining asleep if either of two flipped coins lands tails. The card’s design is attributed to artist Kagemaru Himeno. It is numbered 5 in its set and carries a rarity not specified in the data. The card’s abilities focus on resource management and status effects, offering strategic flexibility in gameplay. Its mechanics emphasize both energy manipulation and turn-based conditional outcomes.
