Summary

Maractus is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V of the Pokémon series. It is known for its vivid, cactus-like appearance embellished with colorful flowers, which gives it a festive and vibrant look. Maractus is often associated with arid desert environments, where it thrives despite the harsh conditions.

Type: Grass

Abilities: - Water Absorb: This ability allows Maractus to restore HP when hit by a Water-type move, effectively nullifying water damage and converting it into health. - Chlorophyll: When Sunny Day is in effect, Maractus’s Speed stat doubles, allowing it to move much faster in battle. - Hidden Ability (Storm Drain): This ability attracts all Water-type moves to Maractus, raising its Special Attack by one stage when hit by a Water-type move and providing immunity from those attacks.

Interesting Facts: - Design and Inspiration: Maractus's design is heavily inspired by the cactus plants found in desert regions.
