Maractus

Grass

Available for SWSH

Maractus is a Grass-type Pokémon (National Dex #556) with a middling stat total of 461. Of the six Nintendo Switch games GenPKM supports, it appears only in Sword & Shield, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Sp. Atk at 106, which makes it a balanced all-rounder. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Maractus takes super-effective damage from Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug. It resists Water, Electric, Grass, Ground. Its ability options are Water Absorb, Chlorophyll, Storm Drain, and you choose which one your copy carries.

In-game, Maractus has 8 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (8) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Maractus ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
