May I ask you something? What is STAB? This can be usefull... thanks

---

Same type attack bonus. When the attack type matches your Pokemon's type, you get a bonus of x1.5. I knew about that under a different name. You probably did too.

Wow... I didn't know it before! thanks a lot, and I understand now!

Answer 1

No offense trachy, but that's an awful moveset. You DON'T need 3 moves of the same type, there's barely any difference between them either. Plus Earthquake beats them all anyway.

Marowak's Attack is better than Sp. Attack so target that:
- Swords Dance (doubles your attack on first use)
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch to cover weaknesses
- Stone Edge or Double Edge

You could keep Fire Blast if you're not upping your attack as much, then it will be more powerful than Fire Punch. In this case you could probably ignore Swords Dance and use both Stone Edge and Double Edge.

Yeah, I know. I just got it in a trade from my sister. These are her reasons for having the moves. I'll teach it Stone Edge cause I'm not fond of Double-Edge unless I have Rock Head or it's with my Snorlax combo. I hate the fact that my Marowak has Lightningrod.

I'm not the guy who asked but if I can't get fire punch should i settle for aerial ace? still covers weakness. and i prefer bonmerang for double attack and that means higher crit rate...i think. im not sure.

Answer 2

Gen V

Marowak (M) @ Thick Club

Trait: Rock Head

EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 SDef

Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)

• Swords Dance
• Stone Edge
• Earthquake
• Double-Edge

Thick Club+Swords Dance=OHKO. Especially when it comes to STAB Earthquake. Stone Edge is there for type coverage, mainly taking down the Flying types that are immune to Earthquake. Double-Edge has high power, and no recoil thanks to Rock Head. No point in trying to increase that low Speed, so max out Attack. Defense is also maxed to provide bulk.

alright guys for one equake is way over rated when it comes to marowak. bonemerang is better in this case. it hits twice and both hits have a chance to crit and the base power is 50 so even if it doesnt crit it's still an equake. bonemerang also gets pass sturdy which is popular right now.

EV's:252 attk/ 252 def/ 4 hp or 4 sdef

adamant nature with the discription: capable of taking hits.

swords dance
stone edge
bonemerang
fire punch or double edge.

But it doesn't have the perfect accuracy of Earthquake.

---

it dont need it it's still better. stone edge doesnt have perfect accuracy either but it's used.

---

True, but in the case of Stone Edge, there is no perfect accuracy Rock Type attack (well besides Ancientpower, Power Gem, HP Rock, and Smack Down, but the first three are special and the last one is pathetic. Rock Slide has better accuracy than Stone Edge, but Stone Edge has 25 more base power, which makes up for the 10 lower accuracy. When Rock Blast is available, I use that over Stone Edge.) However, I will say that Earthquake and Bonemerang are both equal options on Marowak, and it depends on the person using the Marowak. It all comes down to what is preferred, accuracy or Sub/Sash/Sturdy breaking. I prefer the accuracy of Earthquake, but Bonemerang is still a good option.

Answer 3

Marowak (M) @ Thick Club

Role: Lead

Trait: Rock Head

EVs: 128 HP / 16 Atk / 112 Def / 252 SDef

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

• Bonemerang
• Stealth Rock
• Fire Punch
• Stone Edge

---

Bonemerang Breaks Sashes, ( Common lead trick )
Fire Punch puts Forretress, Ferrothorn, Etc. In Their Place.
Stealth Rock sets up.
Stone Edge provides coverage.

Answer 4

I do not own the mentioned pokemon, just suggesting it.

Marowak @Thick Club
EVs: 129 Atk 127 Def 127 SDef 127 HP
Rock Head
Adamant, Impish, or Careful
Double-Edge
Fire Punch
Bonemerang
Brick Break

---

Fire Punch covers ice, grass, steel, and bug for us; Brick break does some of Fire Punch's job while breaking screens; Bonemerang breaks subs and hurts the target at the same time plus STAB; And Double Edge does nice neutral coverage with Rock Head.

Hey, who downvoted this?

Not me. I gave you an upvote!

Thanks, because I think this is a great set! who would be dumb enough to vote this down w/ out saying why?

Answer 5

Double/Triple Battle

Marowak (M) @ Thick Club
Trait: Lightningrod
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Aerial Ace
- Brick Break/Blizzard

Rock Slide hits multiple foes. So does Earthquake, but Earthquake gets STAB. Aerial Ace can hit any foe in a Triple Battle. Brick Break is Screen breaking coverage. However, since you are using Lightningrod you can also try using Blizzard. Lightningrod protects your allies from Electric attacks. While Marowak can't make much use of the Special Attack boosts unless you use Blizzard, the team support it offers is much more useful than Marowak's other abilities.
