Trivia
- Maractus is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 461.
- Maractus shares its species name with Cacnea. They are both known as the Cactus Pokémon.
- Two of Maractus's Abilities revolve around a real-world cactus's tolerance to water: Water Absorb absorbs direct damage to restore health from them, also making it immune, while Storm Drain draws in Water-type moves directed at another target, as well as making it immune to them.
- Although Maractus can only be found at the Desert Resort where a permanent sandstorm rages, it cannot have any Ability negating sandstorm damage, nor is it Rock-, Ground-, or Steel-type, and thus it is susceptible to damage by the sandstorm.
Origin
Maractus appears to be based on a flowering cactus, most likely the prickly pear, and a maraca. It also physically resembles a rabbit and may be a visual pun on the bunny ears cactus. It also seems to be based on traditional Mexican dress styles and, due to the fact that it dances and makes maraca-like sounds, may mean it probably may be based on Spanish dances, possibly the Mexican version of the Cuban Son.
Name origin
Maractus may be a combination of maraca and cactus.
Maracacchi may be a combination of maraca and mariachi.
