James's Mareanie (Japanese: コジロウのヒドイデ Kojirō's Hidoide) is the first Pokémon that James caught in the Alola region.

History

James and Mareanie

Mareanie first appeared in SM012, in which it encountered James when he was wearing a scuba diving helmet resembling a Corsola. It latched onto his helmet, mistaking it for a real Corsola, causing it to crack and flood with water. After James reunited with Team Rocket, Mareanie latched onto his head and injected him with poison which caused him to resemble a Mareanie, causing Mareanie to become smitten with James. Later, during a battle with Ash, Mareanie jumped in to help Team Rocket and launched a Spike Cannon towards Pikachu. With Mareanie's help, Team Rocket gained the upperhand against Ash, poisoning his Rowlet and dealing serious damage to Pikachu. As Jessie's Mimikyu was about to launch one final attack, Bewear suddenly appeared from the water and took Team Rocket away with it. After being dropped off at Bewear's den, James asked Mareanie to join his team, which it accepted. After catching it, James called it back out, and it affectionately latched onto his head, making him look like a Mareanie once more.

Personality and characteristics

Similar to a number of other Pokémon James has owned, such as Victreebel, Cacnea, and Carnivine, Mareanie is very fond of James and occasionally engulfs its Trainer's head in its ten spiked tentacles. The resulting poisoning causes James to look like a Mareanie. Mareanie has an attraction to James's appearance in this state, one of the reasons it decided to join him.

Mareanie's typing, Poison and Water, happen to be the same as James's first two Pokemon. They are Koffing and Magikarp respectively.
