# Parasect #005/196 — Lost Origin

## Summary

Parasect is a Gen I Grass type with a quiet cult following, mostly from collectors who like the mushroom-parasite oddity of the Paras line. A plain Rare in Lost Origin, it was a mid-tier pull, and Pani Kobayashi's name is the main reason a completist would pause. A $0.17 modelled guide, down 11% over 30 days on 23 copies traded, says bulk, with 503 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
