In Pokemon GO, many players capture Pokemon not only to complete their Pokedex, but also to use in PvE and PvE battles, such as competitive leagues or special event Raids.

For this reason, ensuring that your Pokemon have the best movesets possible equipped ahead of time will enable them to operate much more efficiently in battle. After May 2024's Mareanie Spotlight Hour event and the debut of shiny Mareanie and Toxapex during the Ultra Space Wonders event, many Trainers are now looking to get these Pokemon battle-ready. If you find yourself in the same boat, then the following guide will give you all the information you need to get Mareanie and Toxapex all set for battle.

In Pokemon GO, Mareanie is a Poison and Water dual-type Pokemon. This means that Mareanie's most significant weaknesses are Pokemon or moves of the Ground, Electric, and Psychic typing. However, in contrast to these weaknesses, Mareanie's type combination also means that it will have resistance against Pokemon of the Fairy, Fighting, Bug, Poison, Ice, Steel, and Water types.

Mareanie has a max CP of 1099 in Pokemon GO, and a stat spread of 98 ATK, 110 DEF, and 137 STA. When equipped with the best potential moveset for Mareanie, which has been outlined below, you can expect this Pokemon to deal an average of 7.07 damage per second, and 93.2 total damage before fainting. However, in the case that you are unable to utilize this primary moveset combination for whatever reason, or need to change things up slightly to better synergize with the rest of your team, then several alternative options with similar damage output have also been highlighted for Trainers to consider.
