Yellow	The bug host is drained of energy by the mushrooms on its back. They appear to do all the thinking.
Gold	It stays mostly in dark, damp places, the preference not of the bug, but of the big mushrooms on its back.
Silver SoulSilver	The larger the mushroom on its back grows, the stronger the mushroom spores it scatters.
Crystal	When nothing's left to extract from the bug, the mushrooms on its back leave spores on the bug's egg.
Ruby Sapphire	PARASECT is known to infest large trees en masse and drain nutrients from the lower trunk and roots. When an infested tree dies, they move onto another tree all at once.
