How to get Maractus in Pokemon Go?

The very first thing to know before trying to find in Pokemon Go is that the environmental conditions also play a big role in what types of Pokémon you’ll encounter in the wild. 

• Habitats - It's safer to find Pokémon of a particular kind in their natural habitat. If you're on the beach or at a pier, for example, you're likely to come across Water-type Pokémon. Water-type Pokémon, on the other hand, are much less likely to be found in a desert environment.
• Weather - The forms of Pokémon that appear more often are also affected by the weather. Rain, for example, boosts the number of Water, Electric, and Bug-type Pokémon that spawn. To see the weather in your area and the forms you're more likely to find around you, tap the button in the top right corner of the Map view.

Then there are Pokemon that have the title of Pokémon Go regional exclusives. These have some of the first four Generations tied to specific locations all around the world. Maractus is one of them and to catch it, you will have to wait for special events in which these Pokemon will get unlocked outside of their region.
