[SET COMMENTS]
Mareanie has great bulk, recovery, and a good typing in Poison / Water that allow it to come into Fighting- and Fairy-types such as Timburr and Spritzee repeatedly. Sludge Bomb makes it able to take care of Fairy-types such as Spritzee and Cottonee. Toxic Spikes is great to help cripple Pokemon that do not have any form of recovery for the rest of the game. Using Iron Defense allows Mareanie to become a great physical wall to take on Swords Dance users such as Pawniard and Galarian Farfetch'd and trappers such as Trapinch and Diglett. The EV spread allows Mareanie to take on Spritzee's Psychic and an unboosted Munchlax's Earthquake. An alternative EV spread of 116 HP / 180 Def / 12 SpA / 180 SpD enables Mareanie to be able to take physical attacks from Galarian Farfetch'd and Corphish a bit better at the cost of not recovering as much from Regenerator.
Pokemon that are weak to Fighting- and Fairy-type attacks such as Pawniard, Munchlax, and Timburr appreciate the fact that Mareanie can repeatedly come in on these attacks. All of its teammates love the pressure that Toxic Spikes put on grounded Pokemon, as Pokemon without recovery will be crippled for the rest of the game. However, Mareanie struggles with Ground-types such as Mudbray and Trapinch, so partners like Vullaby and Drifloon make great partners, as they are immune to Earthquake. Mareanie also likes to be paired with trappers such as Trapinch and Diglett in order to take care of Poison-types to make Toxic Spikes more threatening. Mareanie also struggles with Galarian Ponyta, so Pawniard and Munchlax are good to pair with Mareanie to take care of it.
