Maractus — the Cactus Pokémon, the cheerful Latin-flavored Grass-type cactus with maracas-shaped arms that it shakes to perform dance-rituals. Standalone single-stage Pokémon, the regional Cacnea/Tropius/Hoppip equivalent, with a strong design but no evolution support. Carries a decent McDonald's promo presence and a modern Black Bolt chase tier on top of a long bulk floor.
Maractus's Top 10 has a strong top three — the 2011 McDonald's Happy Meal promo leads at $6.54, the 2025 Black Bolt Illustration Rare sits in second at $3.54, and a Journey Together print in third — and a stretch of sub-dollar BW-era reprints below. A clean two-tier structure for a cheerful standalone Grass-type.
The line's flagship. A 2011 McDonald's Happy Meal promo handed out the year Maractus debuted in English. Holo-foil, usually creased from kid-handling, and clean centered copies trade well above the asking price — Maractus's bright color palette photographs especially well, and the BW-era McDonald's promos have been quietly climbing.
