Strategy Overview
Mareanie's fantastic defensive ability in Regenerator alongside its decent mixed bulk, access to reliable recovery, and typing allow it to function on balanced and defensive teams as a stellar defensive pivot as well as a reliable check to common threats in Mienfoo, Vullaby, Alolan Grimer, and more. Furthermore, Mareanie's expansive utility movepool, consisting of useful options in Haze, Toxic Spikes, and Scald, allows it to discourage setup sweepers and inflict foes with status to stall them out. Despite these perks, Mareanie's poor offensive stats make it quite passive, and its merely decent bulk still leaves it susceptible to the tier's common Electric- and Ground-type attacks as well as especially powerful wallbreakers in Abra and Gastly.
