Paras cards
Every Paras card we could find. The priciest one we price is the Journey Together one at $0.40, and the cheapest is $0.30.
- The Mushroom Pokemon. Paras is #46 in the National Pokedex.
- First English card. Jungle, June 16, 1999.
- Types. Bug and Grass in the video games. A card only ever carries one type, so which one it is printed as depends on the card.
- Generation 1, Kanto. One of the 151 species that generation introduced.
- Size. 0.3m (1ft 0in) and 5.4kg (12lb).
- Capture rate 190 of 255. Higher is easier to catch. This is about as easy to catch as the games get.

Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. 2 cards of the 5,396 priced here are not listed by PriceCharting and keep their TCGplayer market price via TCGdex instead. Where a card comes as a normal, holo and reverse holo at different prices, the figure is the priciest of them. Prices move daily, so treat these as a ballpark. Search every card.

In the video games
What beats Paras
Damage taken by a Bug / Grass Pokemon, computed from the type chart. Everything not listed does normal damage.
- x4Fire and Flying, double weakness
- x2Ice, Poison, Bug and Rock
- ½xWater, Electric and Fighting
- ¼xGrass and Ground, double resistance
This is the video game chart, not the card game. The Pokemon TCG has eleven types and no type chart at all: Weakness and Resistance are printed on each individual card, and two cards of the same Pokemon can print different ones.
