Mareanie is on our Winds and Waves list because its evolution relative Toxapex was spotted in the announcement trailer. Mareanie itself was not spotted in the official material we reviewed (as of Oct 13, 2026).

We reviewed the announcement trailer gameplay (1:28 to 3:00) and 19 official site screenshots. Official media released later may show more.

Pokedex Entry

It has excellent regenerative capabilities. Legs that a Mareanie has lost have a very bitter, astringent flavor—they’re not suitable as food.

Game Availability

Introduced in Sun & Moon, Mareanie has appeared in 4 games across 3 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
