How to catch Alolan Marowak in Pokemon Go

You can get Alolan Marowak in Pokemon Go by beating it in 3-Star Raids running until May 2, 2024, or by trading with an in-game friend.

You should note that this Pokemon rarely makes its appearance in Raid battles and is not available as a wild spawn, so use this opportunity to get yourself an Alolan Marowak.

Can Alolan Marowak be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, you can get a shiny Alolan Marowak from Raids if you’re lucky. The shiny odds are 1 in 64 encounters or 1.56% chance.

Best Alolan Marowak Pokemon Go PvP moveset

The best PvP moveset for Alolan Marowak in Pokemon Go is Fire Spin with Shadow Bone and Bone Club.

Fire Spin is a neat Fast Move with balanced damage output and energy gains. Even though Hex is faster, Fire Spin gets better coverage overall and pairs nicely with its signature move, Shadow Bone, which deals 80 damage at only 45 energy. As a Ghost-type move, it hits many targets neutrally and has a 20% chance to debuff the opponent’s Defense by one stage.

The other Charged Move, Bone Club, costs a meager 35 energy, threatens Steel types, and is its go-to move to bait shields.

Best Alolan Marowak Pokemon Go PvE moveset

The best PvE moveset for Alolan Marowak in Pokemon Go is Hex with Shadow Ball.

While its offenses aren’t high, it can be used in 1-Star Raids or when you’re rejoining a lobby against a Ghost or Psychic Raid boss since they are weak to Ghost-type moves. I’d recommended using it against Psychic Pokemon only as Alolan Marowak itself takes super-effective damage from Ghost-type attacks.

Is Alolan Marowak good in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Alolan Marowak is excellent in Pokemon Go Great League, but there are far better options in other PvP formats like the Ultra and Master League, as well as in Raids.

With an impressive set of nine resistances, good bulk, and coverage with Ghost-type attacks, Alolan Marowak is scary in the Great Laegue and can surprise even the toughest opponents.
