Type/s: Grass/Bug
HP: 323
Attack: 288
Defense: 258
Speed: 158
Special: 258
Weaknesses: Fire (4x), Bug (2x), Ice (2x), Flying (4x), Poison (4x), Rock (4x)
Resistances: Grass (0.25), Fighting (0.25), Water (0.5), Electric (0.5)
Tier: NU
Moveset #1: Swords Dancer
Swords Dance
Spore
Body Slam
Hyper Beam/Mega Drain
Swords Dance set. At least Parasect has a decent attack and gets the almighty Spore, an almost guaranteed chance at putting a Pokemon to sleep. The idea is to put something to sleep then Body Slam the switch, and set up later in the game. You can run Mega Drain if you fear rocks, but you shouldn't fear anything if you're courageous enough to try Parasect!
Moveset #2: Growther
Growth
Mega Drain
Spore/Stun Spore
Rest
The dreaded Growth Parasect. Basically a poor man's Tangela. Strictly novelty, but depending on the opponent's remaining Pokemon you might be able to do something.
Moveset #3: Hybrid
Swords Dance
Spore
Stun Spore
Hyper Beam
A variant of the Swords Dance set. The idea is to status as much as you can, set up and kill everything with Hyper Beam. Yes, this is novelty, but so is Parasect.
Overall, Parasect has too many weaknesses, not enough attacks and is TTTOOOOOOOO SSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWW to really be useful, ultimately putting Spore to waste.
Other options: Slash would normally be recommended but it is so slow that you might not CH, so nothing really.
