PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Grass Attacker:
Bullet Seed
Solar Beam
Maractus is a pure Grass-type Pokémon with a max CP of 2571. It is not useful for PvE even with its best moveset of Poison Jab and Solar Beam.
⚔️ Raids
Too small and weak.
🛡️ Gyms
There are much better options available.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Great League:
Bullet Seed
Aerial Ace
Petal Blizzard - Ultra League:
Bullet Seed
Aerial Ace
Petal Blizzard
Maractus’s best moveset for PvP is Bullet Seed, Aerial Ace, and Petal Blizzard. Unfortunately, it is not a particularly useful PvP Pokémon.
🔵 Great League
Maractus may have access to fairly spammy fast moves, but it is a glass cannon, making it not a good option for PvP.
🟡 Ultra League
While Maractus can fit into the Ultra League with XL Candy investment, it is an expensive Pokémon to use and does not rank well.
🟣 Master League
Maractus is much too small for the Master League.
