Mareanie (Japanese:ヒドイデHidoide) is a dual-typePoison/WaterPokémon introduced inGeneration VII.

Itevolves intoToxapex starting atlevel 38.

Biology

Mareanie is anechinodermPokémon with a purple, stalk-like body and head. It has blue eyes with yellow pupils and sclerae, and three pointed teeth. The body consists of two sections; the top section is slightly smaller and overlaps the lower. On top of its head is a starfish-like collection of ten tentacles. All of the tentacles reach the ground, except for the one directly in front, which is shorter and leaves its face exposed. The tentacles are light blue and covered in purple spines. On top of its head is a purple area with a collection of spikes with a larger, yellow spine in the center.

Mareanie is able to regenerate any body part overnight, except its head. The lost limbs have a very bitter, astringent flavor, and thus they cannot be eaten as food.Bruxish feeds on Mareanie, which in turn eats the branches ofCorsola — except inGalar, where it has not yet learned to prey on them. Mareanie also eats broken-offPincurchin spines, despite the risk of getting electrocuted. It uses the spike on top of its head to poison its prey and uses its tentacles to either trap its prey or deal the final blow. In thePokémon the Series: Sun & Moon episode,The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!, it is seen attaching itself with all of its tentacles and releasing poison through its spines. The poison causes numbness and intense itching. Mareanie live in groups and are found in beaches and the bottom of oceans.

Mareanie and its Evolution,Toxapex, are theonly known Pokémon that can haveMerciless as anAbility.

Trivia

• When encountered in anSOS Battle as an ally called byCorsola, Mareanie will attack thewild Corsola instead of attacking the player's Pokémon.

Origin

Mareanie appears to be based on acrown-of-thorns starfish, a venomous starfish that preys on coral polyps (similar to how Mareanie preys on Corsola). The pointy top of its head appears to be based on acrown. The lighter colors of itsShiny variant, in comparison to its normal colors, may reference how juvenile crown-of-thorns starfish have brightly-colored bodies that darken as they age.

Name origin

Mareanie may be a combination ofmarine andmeanie.

Hidoide may be a combination of 酷いhidoi (cruel) and 海星hitode (sea star).
