Strategy Overview

Marowak's niches over other Ground-types are Thick Club, which doubles its Attack, and Bonemerang, which is capable of breaking through Substitute and OHKOing Pokemon with Sturdy, such as Golem and Probopass, thanks to its multi-hit effect. Marowak has a good offensive movepool that lets it function well as both a wallbreaker and an offensive Stealth Rock setter. However, if Marowak loses its Thick Club, it loses most of its usefulness. Its decent physical bulk is let down by its poor special bulk and weaknesses to common Water-, Ice-, and Grass-type attacks. While Marowak can circumvent its low Speed via Sticky Web, paralysis, or Trick Room support, Marowak is vulnerable to being easily revenge killed by most faster foes.
