Flying and Fire hits for ×2.56 — Paras's Bug/Grass typing is double-weak, so those attackers outperform their score gap.
Clear weather boosts Fire moves ×1.2 — the best time to battle Paras.

Rankings are estimated cycle DPS (attack stat × move damage ÷ cycle time, with STAB and type effectiveness). Not a full battle simulation.
