# Maractus #10/106 — Flashfire

## Summary

Maractus is a Unova cactus Pokémon with a modest but real following, mostly among Grass collectors and fans of Black and White's odder designs. As a Flashfire uncommon with a coin-flip attack that never saw serious tournament play, it sits in mid-tier territory: cheap to pull, easy to complete. A $0.26 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $33, 128 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.11 out of Black Bolt.
