Maractus
MetaMons competitive notes
Maractus is a grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 461 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 60) and a special attacking profile. Its Water Absorb ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Maractus. Build around what Maractus actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
