Alright I'm begging you please help me /vp/.

I want to build a team around Parasect. Paras has been my favorite Pokemon since Blue/Red.

I will be battling my best friend soon. He is better at Pokemon than me I acknowledge this but I want to at least have a fighting chance.

He loves to use Darmanitan. He may also be fielding a sand team built around Sandslash.

How do I beat him? Help me build a team pleaaase.

In exchange I offer worldly advice from a 28 year old who was in the military for 6 years and has passed Recon school.

Use a politoed team and just spore everything with Parasect when the fire types are not inside. Give Parasect max defense and HP to possibly maybe probably not live life orb stone edge,

Mega swampert is a good pair, just don't switch him in on Darm repeatedly.

Wouldn't it be wiser to Baton Pass things to Pokemon other than Parasect?

>>27646543

You can only Spore 1 Pokemon at a time can't you?

Mega Swampert seems like a good teammate ty.

>>27646570

Yes.

Paras/Parasect was the first Pokemon I saw in the anime. I'll start by helping you out with a basic Parasect build.

Parasect@Leftovers
Dry Skin
252 Hp / 160 Def / 96 SpDef
-Spore
-X-Scissor / Knock Off
-Substitute
-Leech Seed

You absolutely want a Drizzle partner in the form of Politoed or Kygore if legends are allowed to abuse Dry Skin's auto-healing and to mitigate Fire damage (you'll still probably die even in the rain). Substitute + Leech Seed is a basic annoying stall strategy. Take advantage of Spore. It is Parasect's only saving grace. X-Scissor is for putting the hurt when needed on Bug-weak foes. Knock Off is probably a better option because it is so universally good.

I don't know if you and your friend do doubles. If Doubles then swap Substitute for Rage Powder and Leech Seed for Protect.

Partners needed are:
+Politoed (Kyogre) for auto-Drizzle
+Offensive Swift Swim like Ludicolo, Kingdra, or Kabutops
+Rock resist (Steel or Ground type)
+Fire resist (Flash Fire mon maybe?)
+Flying resist (Steel type most likely)
+use the best possible Mega-evolution you have access to

Hope this puts you on the right path.

nature is Careful or Sassy if you decide for Trick Room, but Parasect is already so slow so Careful works fine.

Alternatively.

Adamant
252 Hp / 252 Atk / 4 whatever
-Knock Off
-X-Scissor
-Seed Bomb
-Spore

if you just want to use something dumb and maybe strong.

ty for the input this is really helpful. I think I am going to have to build a Rain team if I want to use Parasect.

>>27646707

This genuinely made me laugh but yea we are using those rules.

Does that make me a homosexual autist?

Remember, Parasect is NOT Paras

Your cute lil bug?

Fucking GONE. It's been eaten, it's dead, the mushroom is your pokemon now

If you love Paras, please don't evolve it. Doing so literally kills the bug, leaving you with a hollow-eyed zombie

Parasect is really only useful in 2v2 battles. There it's still not good, but it is healed by surf, resists earthquake massively, has wide guard for heatwave/rockslide, and rage powder for team protection.

The best you can do is spore+sub+leech seed. Be a douche, ignore sleep clause, and put as much of his team to sleep. There's nothing else parasect can pull off in singles, and even then your friend probably knows this, and has a team prepared or knows how to work around this.

If you at least want to try and throw him for a loop, just to be entertaining, you can try a zoroark on the same team, as then they won't know whether to fear zoroark or spore. You can try a custap berry to try and get off a final spore before dying, but will more likely need the focus sash. You can try and alternate between swagger/substitute/sleep to try and hax them to death.

trick room really isn't that good for parasect. Especially if settin up swords dance. It's super frail and would need two turns of survival to switch in and then boost. At that point even if you survive, you only have two more turns of trick room, with not that great attack even after the boost, and a poor attacking movepool.
