Maractus from Battle Partners!

Maractus has been revealed from Battle Partners, which releases in Japan on January 24th. We expect most of the unreleased cards from this set to become part of the international set Journey Together, which releases in March.

Maractus – Grass – HP110
Basic Pokémon

Ability: Bursting Needle
If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent’s Pokémon, put 6 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon.

[C] Corner: 20 damage. During your opponent’s next turn, the Defending Pokémon can’t retreat.

Weakness: Fire (x2)
Resistance: None
Retreat: 2

Hoping the pokemon company releases a stadium or another mon with a "if damage counters would be placed on your opponents pokemon, add 3 more" just so I can have a little fun running a card like this

Maractus, four spike energy, and rocky helmet does 16 damage if it is attacked. That wouldn't be bad if there was actually a reason for it to be in the active.
 
Wow this really is just another Maractus card, ashame that this Pokémon was doomed to the bulk bin for eternity. Solid push into Budew though, it's only one turn of item lock until they whip out the boss which seems like a waste of a boss but to each their own

Begging to have a good maractus card in my lifetime.

This card is good since it's a hard Budew counter. Oh, my opponent wants to item lock? Have fun sacrificing that Budew to my Maractus turn 1. If that doesn't count as good, idk what does.
