PvE Analysis

Paras is not a good Pokemon in the PVE meta. It has a few decent moveset options, but its typing and stats are not generally worth the investment needed to raise it.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

Fury Cutter + X-ScissorBest
  • Fury Cutter outclasses Struggle Bug on offense and should be paired with X-Scissor first and foremost for Bug-type STAB.
  • Solar Beam is a good move, but it takes too long to charge on Parasect.
  • Cross Poison isn't a good move for offense.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

Struggle Bug + Cross Poison or X-ScissorBest
  • Struggle Bug outclasses Fury Cutter on defense.
  • X-Scissor is a good, 3-bar option on defense, having decent damage and STAB.
  • Cross Poison is similar to X-Scissor, but it's slightly weaker with a different effectiveness profile.
  • Solar Beam takes far too long to charge, and Parasect will likely never get it off.

PvP Analysis

Fury Cutter + X-Scissor and Solar Beam or Cross Poison

Fury Cutter has a great stat-line, making it a very effective STAB Quick-Move.

X-Scissor (45 Power/35 Energy) comes out very quickly, and Solar Beam (150 Power/80 Energy) is a very expensive yet very powerful second STAB charged move to round out Parasect's moveset. Cross Poison can be chosen for its cheap Poison-type coverage, or it can substitute X-Scissor to bait shields if Bug-type coverage isn't as preferable. 

Great League 0/ 5

Parasect has no real niche of its own in the Great League, falling short of most other Pokemon that can perform the same jobs that it can while having a plethora of weaknesses. Parasect just has no utility in the Great League.

Ultra League0 / 5

Parasect is far too weak for the Ultra League.

Master League 0/ 5

Using Parasect in the master League is about like only picking 2 Pokemon.
