Mareanie Guide

  • Get Mareanie to Toxapex at level 38. At 305 BST, Mareanie is just the starting point.

  • Level 38 gets you Toxapex. Not the fastest evolution, so consider Exp. Share or route grinding to speed it up.

  • In Sun & Moon, Mareanie does the job early-game if you need a Poison/Water type on your team. Evolve it into Toxapex before the later gyms and it holds up fine through the story.

  • You can find Mareanie in Sun & Moon. The Locations section has the full breakdown of routes and encounter details. It also appears in 4 other games across the series.

Game Availability

Introduced in Sun & Moon, Mareanie has appeared in 5 games across 4 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
