Parasect is Pokédex #047, generation 1 (Kanto). Parasect is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Paras. In this catalog that name is Paras (#046).

Parasect (#047) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Parasect 41/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Satoshi Shirai illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 14 other cards of Parasect list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Satoshi Shirai. I count 50 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Up set binder is where a full Team Up set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Parasect can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
