Strategy Overview

With its Thick Club in hand, Marowak can act as a suboptimal Trick Room attacker. Marowak's near-perfect coverage between Earthquake and Stone Edge may sound enticing at first, but several other physical Trick Room attackers such as Crabominable and Ursaring have near-perfect coverage as well. Marowak also must hold a Thick Club in order to double its Attack, which makes it susceptible to Knock Off users that can check it defensively such as Tangela and Gurdurr.
