Pokedex Entries
Red Blue A host-parasite pair in which the parasite mushroom has taken over the host bug. Prefers damp places.
Yellow The bug host is drained of energy by the mushrooms on its back. They appear to do all the thinking.
Stadium The bug host is controlled by the mushrooms that scatter poisonous spores. The spores are sometimes used as medicine in China.
Gold Stadium 2 It stays mostly in dark, damp places, the preference not of the bug, but of the big mushrooms on its back.
Silver 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.
