Anyone else notice Alola Marowak is a lot faster? It outsped

I mean it's constantly burning calories.

Maybe they swapped Speed and defense?


110 speed?

The flame attack looked physical which was nice

>>27709596
Maybe they are different level

>>27709649
They always use level 50s for these trailers.

>signature move
>signature item
>alola form

Does gamefreak secretly like Marowak?

>>27709640
>110 speed
>thicc club

11/10 Marowak new meta.

>>27710077

Seriously it would be a monster

>>27710077
It'll be a slightly less good Mega Mawile.

The fact it's weak to knock off, can lose thick club, and likely get one shotted by it hurts it.

>>27710152

Except it is faster and doesn't use a mega slot

>>27710180
It likely dies to one non STAB Knock Off.

>>27709596
It could be priority ghost bonemerang. Similar to water shuriken.

>>27709683
Pyukumuku vs hariyama weren't

>>27710207
if pulled off.

>>27710207

So switch out against Weavile/Ambipom/Purugly/Azelf/Archeops/Cincinno/Mega absol

Chances are you won't be seeing those aside from Weavile and M-absol these days

Other knock off users are slower and might straight up die to Marowak

>>27709596
haunter probably had zero speed IVs and EVs while marowak was maxed out

>>27710360

Trailers are always 0/0 for every mon

Is it using a Marowak only ghost move?

Or is it hex with a marowak exclusive animation?

>>27709622
Underrated post

They could have just cut out the part where haunter attacked

This Alolan Marowak looks fucking amazing, it combined with Wishiwashi are the game-sellers for me, I think.

Like shit I've been holding off, waiting for any news about a quality post-game, but I'm such a sucker for plain ol' cool shit.

>immune to burns and the most common form of paralysis
>110 base speed
>evolves from a regular cubone so it can use all of cubone's moves
I'm hyped.

>>27710347
What about Crawdaunt?

>>27710992

Crawdaunt doesn't have above 110 speed

It looks like shit with its thinner body. He's barely ghost type, might as well have made its eyes black.
What's that thing on its skull tho?

>>27711034

Symbol so he can talk to the dead

Thats how it uses spooky ghosts

Watch them make marowak special attack based and shit on it

>>27711034
The entry says it lights its bones by striking them across its head like a match.
That's the places it strikes the bones

>>27711034
Probably a scorch mark.

When they do FireRed/LeafGreen remakes, will they make the ghost Marowak THIS form?

>>27710468
>move looks like a bone
>SE on haunter
>haunter is poison type with levitate

M-maybe bone club/merang can hit flying now?

>>27710787
>evolves from a regular cubone so it can use all of cubone's moves
Maybe, We saw a regular Cubone, and Pikachu, in the evolving scene, but they cut straight to their evolved forms in battle, and don't forget Sandshrew and Vulpix also got a type change. Though it'd be weird of them to hide the fact that the first stage pokemon do or don't also get an Alolan form.

>>27710232
That means it's not fully evolved.

Pokedex says his new fire move "pursues his foes relentlessly". Multi turn move maybe?

>>27711325
Never misses maybe

>>27711325

Would like a fire pursuit

>>27709622
kek

also checked

>>27710384
Proof?

>>27711598

The proof is every trailer followed by calculations people make on base stats always being correct when assuming 0/0 iv/ev

>>27711237
https://archive.nyafuu.org/vp/thread/27223998/#27225291

Maybe this was real?

>>27711007
But it resists both of its STABs

>>27712089
It doesn't resist Thunderpunch.

It does have lightning rod

>>27709640
flame attack was will o'wisp

>>27712208
Watch the English trailer.

>>27709596
>sucker punch

Say they only switch speed and def.
hp60, atk 80, def45, spa 50, spd80, spe110
Thick Club doubles Attack, potentially reaching 290 at level 50 with nature and ev.
Surprisingly OHKO Mega Kangaskhan with Low Kick. What?

>>27712429
Won't it just get destroyed by sucker punch though?

>>27712490
It would get destroyed by Earthquake. Jolly M-Kahn outspeeds.

All these autists think marowak will be good. Guess what?

Weavile will ohko it . Pretty mich anything that learns sucker punch

>>27710347
Succer panch

>>27712529
I mean, you could will-o-wisp on the first turn to cancel out sucker punch and cut their attack, though still not particularly viable.

>>27709622
kek

>>27712036
nah

>>27712573
With jolly nature and having used will-o-wisp first turn it could take out M-Kanga 56% of the time. Though that would be almost entirely a lucky guess, either:

1. Mega Milf uses Sucker Punch, fails, gets burned, gets kicked to death
2. Marowak uses Will-o-wisp, Mega Milf uses Earthquake, Marowak dies.
3. Marowak uses Low Kick, Mega Milf dies (trying to use EQ to beat out w-o-w.

It just comes down to if they are predicting your prediction, or if they are predicting your prediction of their prediction, not a fun matchup in any way.

>>27711034

It uses that spot to set the ends of its bone on fire, like striking a match.

It's going to be Fire-type Swift/Aerial Ace/Etcetera.

>>27712765
Burn damage would kill.

Would have been great as a special attacker. It has Ice Beam and Focus Blast (which OHKOs MegaKan with neutral nature) too.

>muh Thicc Club

They could have just updated it to include SpA like Light Ball was.

>>27709743

Everyone likes Marowak.

>>27712089

You'll see Crawdaunt maybe once out of every 20 battles. No reason not to use Breloom just because a Gourgeist exists.

>>27716884
What a long quote chain that amounts to "it's not broken so it's terrible" -smogon probably

>>27712512
No, Jolly M-Khan does not outspeed. If we're assuming Alolan Marowak has base 110 Speed, base 100 doesn't beat that. Don't be dumb anon.

Finally, we can use the ghost of Cubone's Mother.

>>27717411
Learn how to into context my little anon. He replied to someone whose whole argument revolves around Low Kick one shotting MegaKan. That only works with Adamant Marowak, which gets outspeed and BTFOd by Jolly Base 100.

>>27717411
In order to guarantee an OHKO, you need to be Adamant. Being Adamant means that a Jolly Megamom outspeeds.

>>27717464

To me it's Alola form ruin that lore. Like sure it's a Ghost, which makes it fit being Cubone's mother and all, but the whole generic Hawaiian fire-dancer trope is pretty lame.

>>27717507
>>27717510
Sorry, my reading comprehension is balls today.

>>27717006

What in the fuck is your post supposed to mean? Get your shit together.

All I said was there's no reason to bring up a single rarely used pokemon that walls a new pokemon's STABs as if that really makes a difference in its viability in the grand scheme of things. Like my other example: Breloom is hardwalled by Gourgeist. Gourgeist is PU while Breloom is PU. It doesn't matter if one battle out of 25 you run into a pokemon that walls one of your own pokemon.

>>27712840
Or a Fire-type Pursuit.

>>27709596
3 thinks (sorry my english)

1.Alolan Marowak is faster
2. bonemerang is ghost type this time (can't learn the ground version)
3. attack and special attack are switched.

Nope
