Paras

BugGrass

Available for BDSP PLA LGPE

Paras is a Bug/Grass-type Pokémon (National Dex #46) with a low stat total of 285. You can have one built for BDSP, Legends: Arceus and Let's Go, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Attack at 70, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Paras takes super-effective damage from Fire, Flying at 4×, and Ice, Poison, Bug, Rock at 2×. It resists Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, Ground. Its ability options are Effect Spore, Dry Skin, Damp, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Paras evolves into Parasect (24). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.

In-game, Paras has 45 recorded encounter locations across BDSP (31), Legends: Arceus (9), Let's Go (5) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in BDSP, Legends: Arceus, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Paras ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.

Frequently Asked Questions about Paras

How do I get Paras for free?

Order it on GenPKM. Pick Paras in the Pokédex, choose the level, nature, IVs, EVs, ability, Poké Ball and whether you want it shiny, then our trade bot runs a Link Trade and sends it to your game. It is free, and it takes about a minute once you are through the queue.

Which games is Paras available in?

GenPKM can build Paras for BDSP, Legends: Arceus, Let's Go. Each game has its own move pool and encounter data, so the copy you receive is legal for the specific game you pick.

Is a genned Paras legal in Pokémon HOME?

Yes. Every Paras built here is validated against PKHeX, which applies the same legality rules Pokémon HOME uses when you deposit. It passes HOME without flags and transfers normally between the games that support the species.

What is Paras weak against?

Paras is Bug/Grass-type, so it takes super-effective damage from Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug, Rock. It resists Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, Ground.

What is the best nature for Paras?

Paras's Attack (70) is well ahead of its Special Attack (45), so a physical nature suits it — Adamant to maximise damage, or Jolly if you want the extra Speed. You choose the nature when you order, so there is no breeding involved.

Which abilities can Paras have?

Paras can have Effect Spore, Dry Skin, Damp. You select which one your copy carries when you order it, including the hidden ability where the species has one.

Can I get a shiny Paras?

Yes, through GenPKM. Note that at least one in-game encounter for Paras is shiny-locked, so it cannot be found shiny in the wild there. A shiny ordered here is generated with a legal PID and Encryption Constant and passes Pokémon HOME's shiny verification.
