* Maractus shares its species name with {{p|Cacnea}}. They are both known as the Cactus Pokémon.

* Although Maractus can only be found at the [[Desert Resort]] where a permanent {{weather|sandstorm}} rages, it cannot have any Ability negating sandstorm damage, nor is it {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{type|Steel}}, and thus it is susceptible to damage by the sandstorm.

Maractus appears to be based on a flowering cactus, most likely the {{wp|Opuntia|prickly pear}}, and a {{wp|maraca}}. It also physically resembles a {{wp|rabbit}} and may be a visual pun on the {{wp|Opuntia microdasys|bunny ears cactus}}. It also seems to be based on traditional Mexican dress styles and, due to the fact that it dances and makes maraca-like sounds, may mean it probably may be based on Spanish dances, possibly the Mexican version of the Cuban {{wp|Son (music)|Son}}.  

Maracacchi may be a combination of ''maraca'' and ''{{wp|mariachi}}''.
