During your opponent's next turn, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat.

Once each year, this Pokémon scatters its seeds. They’re jam-packed with nutrients, making them a precious food source out in the desert.

If I attack Maractus that has the "Exploding Needles" Ability with a damaged Lillie's Comfey's "Fade Out" attack, would I put 6 damage counters on Lillie's Comfey and knock it out before it goes to the hand?

No, Lillie's Comfey would go to the hand first and then Exploding Needles would be triggered and find no valid target.
