Provenance

Where it came from

The Parasect card, numbered 5/149, was released in the Sun & Moon base expansion, which debuted in early 2017. This set marked the beginning of the seventh generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing the Alola region and the new GX mechanic. Parasect, a dual-type Bug and Grass Pokémon, was featured here as a Rare card, reflecting its established presence in the franchise since the original Red and Green games.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Kouki Saitou. Known for a clean, expressive style, Saitou often emphasizes the natural environment of the Pokémon. In this depiction, Parasect is shown in a forest setting, highlighting its parasitic relationship with the large mushroom on its back. The design follows the updated card template introduced with the Sun & Moon series, which emphasized vibrant colors and a modern, minimalist layout for player readability.
