[OVERVIEW]
Maractus is an unviable choice in SS ZU because it is entirely outclassed as a defensive Spikes setter by Roselia, which has much better bulk with Eviolite and a better typing for the tier both offensively and defensively.

[SET]
name: Specially Defensive
move 1: Spikes
move 2: Synthesis
move 3: Giga Drain
move 4: Knock Off
item: No Item
ability: Water Absorb
nature: Calm
evs: 252 HP / 160 SpD / 96 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Maractus attempts to support its teammates with Spikes and Knock Off while trying to help ward off special attackers. Unfortunately, it isn't quite capable of taking on the tier's top Pokemon, unlike Roselia, which can with its better bulk and typing, and Eviolite furthering its defensive prowess.
