Maractus
Oracle Text
Ability Exploding Needles: If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent's Pokémon, put 6 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.
Attack Corner (20): During your opponent's next turn, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat.
Card Details
Character Background
Maractus is a straightforward Grass Basic that plays best as a low-investment tempo or value piece rather than a true finisher, leaning on efficiency and resilience. Mega Drain is the safer attack, turning a modest 20 damage into 20 self-heal, which helps Maractus stick around against chip damage and forces the opponent to spend extra resources removing it. Pin Missile offers a high-variance burst option: four coin flips can swing from underwhelming to surprisingly lethal, so it rewards decks that can afford to press early pressure and accept some volatility. In Black & White-era Grass builds, Maractus fits well beside energy acceleration and healing support—think cards that help it keep attacking or recover after surviving a hit. It can also function as an awkward prize-taxing opener, especially if paired with disruption that buys turns while Maractus chips away and sustains itself.
