In-Depth Analysis
Maractus's 461 base stat total marks it as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Special Attack (106) carries most matchups, but a low Speed stat of 60 means careful positioning matters.
Its Grass typing leaves Maractus with 5 weaknesses against 4 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
With a catch rate of 255, Maractus is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
