Ever since its release as part of Battle Partners [SV9], Maractus has become an important supporting piece in decks such as the Joltik Box, Dragapult ex, Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex, and Froslass/Munkidori decks. It’s a highly disruptive piece capable of throwing off various opposing strategies.

About Maractus (Battle Partners [SV9] 101/100)

Corner, the only attack which Maractus has, deals 20 damage for one Energy card—but more importantly, it also prevents the opposing Active Pokémon from retreating on the opponent’s next turn. Thus, it can be used to trap a vulnerable Pokémon in the opponent’s Active Spot. Additionally, the opponent might think twice before launching an attack which would KO Maractus because being KO’d while in the player’s Active Spot activates the Ability of Exploding Needles, which dishes out 60 damage to the opposing Active Pokémon upon Maractus being KO’d.

Collectors are likely to be interested in the Art Rare (AR) version of this card, which depicts Maractus standing in front of a brick wall with several potted cacti around it. Illustrated by Ounishi, the Full Art illustration’s unconventional art style stands out at a single glance, attracting additional attention and increasing demand for the card.
