Where it came from
Parasect card number 2/162 was released as part of the XY—BREAKthrough expansion, which debuted in late 2015. This set introduced the BREAK evolution mechanic, designed to add a strategic layer to gameplay by allowing cards to be placed horizontally atop an existing Pokémon to gain new abilities and higher HP. As a Grass-type Pokémon, Parasect fits into the established biological lore of the franchise, reflecting its parasitic relationship with the fungi on its back.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Mizue, who has contributed to the Pokémon Trading Card Game since the early 2000s. Mizue is known for a clean, vibrant aesthetic that emphasizes the character's form. In this specific illustration, the artist captures Parasect in a dark, forest-like environment, highlighting the glowing mushroom spores associated with the creature’s design. The card was generally received as a standard functional addition to the Grass-type archetype within the competitive landscape of the time.
