Remember when /vp/ thought it was shit because its stats didn't change at all?

I mean, there had to be a winner, I guess, but I haven't used an Alola form yet and thought it was useless. Even Sandslash is half decent on the right team

>>30832029
It's a good habit to make a mental note that always believe the opposite of what /vp/ says.

How good would it be if UBs and Tapus didn't exist?

I'm upset that he's the superior Ghost/Fire because I love Pic Related.

I've trained both a Chandelure and A-Marowak in Sun but always find myself choosing Marowak.

What went wrong bros?

>>30832125
Chandelure is still a better sweeper imo

>>30832012
>cool shiny
Opinion discarded. Should have been like Chandelure, with the flames actually being fire-colored.

>>30832012
Alolan Marowak and Exeggutor are the two Alolans I consider that utterly suprassed the originals. Seriously looking at original Marowak and its animations it's so dull now

>>30832125
They fit different roles.

>>30832144
>Should have been like Chandelure, with the flames actually being fire-colored.
zzz
you're so boring

>>30832157
I actually really dislike A-Marowak's idling animation. Every other animation, sure, but it just looks so goony holding its arms out like it's pretending to fly.

>>30832164
Shiny A-wak's flames are literally the same as its nonshiny version. Why wouldn't you change the major new element? It's ass.

>>30832109
It was made to counter UBs in general.

>>30832177
It's legit. It actually made ice types relevant again.

If only all alolan forms were as good and as cute as Ninetales.

>>30832045
Probably one of my top 3 favorite Alolan forms.

>>30832029
I mean it kind of is. It's only good because it is pretty good at countering the current meta. It's like that vgc pachirisu

>>30832222
Quads don't lie.

>>30832086
It would still have decent physical bulk, decent coverage and monstrous attack. Plus with no Tapus it would run Rock Head Flare Blitz, which hurts like a motherfucker. It would be nowhere near OU, because of shit speed and tons of weaknesses, but I don't think it would be PU either

>>30832214
That's good to hear. I always loved Ninetales and ice is my favorite type, so I was hoping this new form would be good.

>>30832125
Bulky Physical sweepers are really strong ingame this gen

>>30832012

A lot of the alolan forms are great though, like muk and ninetails.

>>30832253
Nah he's good.

>>30832420
This desu

Only Dugtrio and Raticate are shit, everything else has a pretty strong niche
>A-Maro being a strong as fuck attacker and checking stuff with a good typing
>A-Tales being the only thing with Snow Warning+Aurora Veil
>A-Muk having good typing and special bulk, able to check a lot of special attackers, Poison Touch Knock Off is fucking annoying
>A-Egg, good doubles TR setter/attacker with a lot of staying power with Harvest Sitrus Berries
>A-Persian, bulky pivot with parting shot
>A-Raichu, sanic "weather" sweeper

Sandslash and Golem are kind of mediocre but they still have pretty good and unique uses.

Just wait until they inevitably release a new Pokemon that does everything A-Marowak does but better.

>Alola Golem's Special Atack animation is awesome
>55 base SpAtk

What are some physical moves that uses the special animation?

How good is A-eggxecutor?

>>30832012
None of the Alola forms have great designs. Some of them look nice, but they're almost all just palette swaps or very slight tweaks in the original design.

>>30832735
Godly in trick-room. Under the sun, harvest provide reliable 50% recovery. Able to tank some hits and attack from both physical and special side.
Also ice bait.

>>30832012
Dunno why we didn't get Alolan Cubone when all the other Alolan mons got forms for thier pre-evos

>>30832263
What the fucks with the "monstrous attack" meme his base attack stat is 80 unless I'm missing something

>>30832253
>It's only good because it is pretty good
Damn

>>30832964
Thick Club doubles Marowaks attack stat

>>30832144
>Opinion discarded. Should have been like Chandelure, with the flames actually being fire-colored.

No, green flames are better. They should have been light blue if anything.

>>30832947
exeggcute doesn't get one either

>>30832222
Same. The other two being Ninetales and Marowak.

>>30832045
Gonna dump my starter for one of these on my next playthrough

Marowak-A is only good because of the meta

Still looks fucking awesome

Man before I got this game I was planning on having him hold a air balloon with wonderguard and literally being untouchable

>>30832825
Has Alola introduced any more reliable Trick Room setters? I've been using Reuniclus, but it's only defense against dark types is focus miss.

I already liked the original Nintales and Marowak, but Alolan Muk is something special to me because I never gave two figs about Kanto Muk. But one look at Alolan Muk and I wanted to use it in-game, and after using it in-game I want to use it competitively.

Every alolan form besides Dugtrio are miles better then original

sandlash went from shitty excadrill/Hippowdon to Hail version of Kabutops

>>30834325
Mimikyu can learn it as an egg move.
Plus disguise gives you a free chance to set up

>>30832253
Marowak was already a heavy hitter, it just had a lesser useful typing for its role.
If you were in trick room memes he was a killing machines.
Not a world champion, but definetely noticeable.

>>30834571
That's true, but it's too fast to take advantage of it. It also learns it as a tm.

>>30834325
Magearna, Mimikyu and Zecrozma can learn it.

>>30832096
>dont talk to me or my son ever again

>can get perish song via egg move

I'm sorry but Lapras can breed with Marowak? How?

>>30835105
he can put the bone in her monster vag

>>30835464
Shouldn't it be a male lapras having sex with marowak?

>>30832683
Explosion :^)

That must be how the mom died.

>>30832012
>god tier design

literally a recolor with a flaming bone

I got extremely lucky breeding cubones and got a shiny one with perfect IV's aside from a 30 special attack (granted that means absolutely nothing), but I don't think I really prefer the shiny version's color scheme. I'll still use it because it's neat, but it just looks like it's wearing a purple jumpsuit to me

>>30832964
>being this shit

>>30832177
An Ice Pokemon that actually plays into the typing's strengths, what do you think?

>>30834095
You could burn him to death, or Salazzle could toxic him... Or you could lock-on/trick ring target and use psychic moves lol

That would be utterly busted though.

He and A-muk are pretty good. I'd go so far as saying that A-wak made the original completely obsolete, not that it was that hard of a task anyway.

>>30832202
Marowak is a spiritual enforcer trained to defeat invaders from beyond the veil. Deepest lore.
