Maractus is a regional Pokémon that is tied to the North American region. This keeps it out of reach for those who are outside this region with the fact that you can only obtain it during special events further adding to its novelty.
Here, you'll learn what is Maractus as a Pokémon type and how you can get your hands on it even if you are not in the North American region.
What is Maractus?
Maractus is a grass-type Pokémon that was first introduced in Generation 5 of the Unova Region. It has an attack of 201, a defense of 130, and a maximum CP of 2571.
It does have evolution to date and although its attacks can be boosted by sunny weather, it is weak against Bug, Flying, Ice, Poison, and Fire types.
Here we share with you the best ways to catch Maractus along with coordinates if this type is not available in your current location.

How to Catch Maractus on Pokémon Go from Home
If you are not in the North American region, but you have the coordinates for the exact location of Maractus as we have provided above, you may still be able to catch Pokémon from home. You would just need a way to spoof the location on your device.

In just a few simple clicks, you can use MockGo to teleport your iOS device to one of the coordinates above and comfortably catch Maractus from home.
This tool can also be used to simulate movement in the new location, allowing you to virtually move around and catch as many Maractus as you want.
It is also very easy to use and above all, you don’t need to jailbreak your iOS device to change its location; you just need to connect it to a computer with MockGo installed on it.
Follow these steps to teleport your device to one of the locations above to catch Maractus;
Step 1: Launch the Program and Connect the iPhone
Download and install MockGo on your computer, open it and connect the iOS device to the computer using a lightning cable.
Step 2: Teleport the GPS of Your iPhone
MockGo will detect the connected device and display its current location on the screen.
To change this location, click on the Teleport Mode in the top-right.
Enter the coordinates of the location you would like to teleport to in the address bar and you should see the map change to this new location.
You can adjust the pin on the map until you get the exact location. Once you have it, simply click on “Move Here” to change the location on your iPhone.
Step 3: Simulate Movement
To simulate movement on your device, you can choose either the one-stop or multi-stop mode in the top-right corner.
Then, drop pins on the map to choose all the locations that you would like to move through on the map.
Once all the locations have been selected, use the slider at the bottom to choose the speed you would like to move at.
Click “Move Here” to begin the simulated movement.
If you would like to make the movement appear more natural, you can use the GPS Joystick at the bottom of the screen.
How to Get Maractus in Pokémon Go
The key to catching any kind of Pokémon is to understand their environment. Environmental conditions play a key role in the type of Pokémon that you will catch in the wild.
You are likely to find Pokémon in their natural habitat. For example, if you are at the Pier or near a large water body, you are more likely to catch a water-type than any other kind. Water types are therefore very rare in a desert-kind environment.
The kinds of Pokémon you are likely to catch may also be affected by prevailing weather conditions. You may therefore be more likely to catch a water type on a rainy day.
You can tap on the button in the top-right corner of the Map view in Pokémon Go to see the weather in your area and the Pokémon you are most likely to find in your area.
Then, there are the Pokémon that are exclusive to a certain region. Maractus is one such Pokémon and to catch it, you would have to wait for special events when it can be unlocked outside of its region.

- Tauros – Found all over North America
