CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Foongus resembles a Poké Ball, but no one knows exactly why. This appearance attracts or deceives other Pokémon. When an enemy approaches, it releases toxic spores from its hands and may daze it. The Pokédex presents an imitation with mysterious origins rather than a disguise with a known cause. The spores remain dangerous even though one entry reports a traditional use after drying.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon Sword says the origin of Foongus's resemblance to a Poké Ball remains unknown. Pokémon Shield notes that its spores are highly toxic, even though they are sometimes dried for a use reported in the Pokédex. That practice does not make fresh spores harmless.
