Infections from the predatory Bansect fungus are a growing epidemic amongst Kanto's native Banette population. Though many consider this a tragedy, Bansect mushrooms are a popular upper-class food item that fetches an incredibly high price.

There is a constant internal battle within Bansect to keep its parasite from spreading. Should the Bansect falter, its zippers will open and release toxic, paralyzing spores in an attempt to infect those around it.

Bansect are known to infest the roots of large trees en masse and drain nutrients. An abandoned plush doll became this Pokémon.
