#046Paras
BUGGRASSCOMMONParas shows up in the level 1 hunt and averages 11 of loot and 8 XP per kill.
Is Paras worth hunting?
Among the 15 Pokémon in the level 1 hunt, Paras ranks 10th for loot per kill, 3% below the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
52% of all loot comes from a single item: Pot of Moss Bug. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Mushroom (114 at the NPC), at 2.48% chance — on average one every 40 kills.
For XP it ranks 6 of 15 at this level — 8 per kill.
