Quoted By:
Alolan Paras/Parasect - Bug/Ice
The mushroom that usually infects Paras didn't originally grow in the Alola region, and as such this Pokemon isn't controlled by it.
The sudden introduction of the parasitic mushroom forced this pokemon to climb higher into the mountains where the cold climate deterred it. This also caused them to grow a coat of fur-like spines on their bodies giving them a shaggy white appearance.
The spines on the forelimbs are used to trap and pin down prey.
