Provenance

Where it came from

Parasect, card 005/159 from the Journey Together set, reflects the enduring design philosophy of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which pairs the species' lore with specific artistic styles. As a common card, it was produced to be widely accessible, helping players build consistent decks while showcasing the evolution of Pokémon card art through varying illustrative techniques that emphasize the mushroom-crustacean biology of the creature.
