#7 Maractus - Sword & Shield (swsh1)
Maractus is a Grass-type Pokémon with 110 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It has two attacks: Zzzt, which costs one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage, and Powerful Needles, requiring Grass and Colorless energy to deal 60 damage for each heads flipped during the attack. The latter also interacts with attached Energy by flipping a coin for each, amplifying damage based on the result. Maractus has no resistances and is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. The card’s flavor text describes it as creating an upbeat rhythm with noises resembling maracas, startling bird Pokémon and causing them to flee. It was released in the Sword & Shield series on February 7, 2020, with a Common rarity and regulation mark D. Artist Atsuko Nishida designed the card, which is part of the Sword & Shield set.
