Maractus

With valuable resistances to Water, Ground, and Electric, as well as the even more valuable Spikes, Maractus blossoms in PU as the most versatile Spikes setter the tier has to offer. It can go either defensive or offensive, leveraging either its strong defensive synergies or its respectable power to force openings to lay down more Spikes. Maractus even has plenty of healing options in Giga Drain and Synthesis to make sure that it has plenty of opportunities to lay down even more Spikes throughout the match. Unfortunately, Maractus has neither the bulk to avoid being run over by stronger threats like Beheeyem and Stoutland nor the offensive prowess or coverage to be a true offensive threat, so it can struggle to keep up with other Grass-types like Torterra or Vileplume.
