Parasect

Description

The 2004 FireRed & LeafGreen set holds a special place in Pokémon TCG history for its tie-in with the classic Game Boy Advance role-playing games. Among the roster of creatures, Parasect #43 stands out as a strategic Uncommon card for collectors who appreciate its specific gameplay mechanics. As a Stage 1 Grass-type Pokémon, it evolves from Paras and brings a distinct utility to deck building that defines the era's design philosophy. This Reverse Holo finish adds a layer of visual appeal, shimmering subtly while maintaining the card's functional identity. Collectors often seek out this card number to complete the base set or to build themed collections focused on Grass-type strategies. Parasect’s attack, Grass Energy Powder, allows players to search their deck for up to two basic Energy cards and attach them to any of their Pokémon. This ability to manipulate resources makes the card valuable for its tactical depth. The second attack, GrassColorless Toxic Spore, deals 20 damage and poisons the Defending Pokémon, adding a layer of risk and reward to its use. With a retreat cost of just 1, it remains mobile on the battlefield. For investors and hobbyists alike, the FireRed & LeafGreen series represents a pivotal moment in the franchise's expansion. This Parasect card, identified by its Pokédex number 47 and set code RG, serves as a tangible link to that period. Whether you are a long-time fan of the series or a new collector exploring the TCG's history, this card offers both nostalgic value and gameplay relevance.
