For battling Mareanie in three-star raids, check out our advice on Mareanie’s weaknesses and counters further along in this guide.
If you want to catch Mareanie via its Fashion Week field research task, it’s important to remember that the tasks given by PokéStops change on a day-to-day basis. Due to this you may find this specific task difficult to find, especially since you can receive field research tasks from the monthly pool alongside the event-exclusive tasks.
At the time of writing, we don’t know what Mareanie’s spawn rate will be once the Fashion Week event has ended in 2022. There’s a chance, however, that, like other recently released Pokémon, it will be hard to find.
How to evolve Mareanie into Toxapex in Pokémon
To evolve Mareanie into Toxapex in Pokémon, you need to collect 50 Mareanie Candy.
You should be able to easily collect this required amount of candy throughout the Fashion Week event by using Pinap Berries to double your catch candy. Having a Mareanie as your buddy Pokémon will also allow you to gather some extra candy as you explore the world with Pokémon Go.
The Max Out Season is here. The new global event, Wild Area, is nearly here and In the Wild is our lead-up event, which includes the global release of Toxel. You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
