Strategy Overview

Marowak sets a good example by wearing a skull as a helmet, because it is recommending other Pokemon to do the same when he's around--his attacking power is right up there with giants like Slaking and Medicham. Sadly, a Pokemon with such great Attack must have drawbacks. Marowak is unable to utilize Leftovers, has very lackluster HP and Special Defense, and is not the quickest Pokemon out there. However, with paralysis, Trick Room, or Baton Pass support, Marowak can be a real wrecking ball.
