Well there's a lot of implied scenes there. Like, maybe the grunt just beat the shit out of it while disregarding the type immunity?

OP, just ignore Origins. It's a shitty illogical Mega Charizard advertisement. That's it. It's not canon or even good in the least.

Rotom is using Electricity-powered devices as a host, and it does not bypass type.

Sorry, but the very fact that real electricity effects Marowak is a strong case against you. And Rotom's case could easily be for different reasons.

Your arguments are feeble at best.

Pokemon animes are inconsistent about immunities, resistances, stats and super-effective moves. All you can do is suspend your disbelief.

Besides, if I shot Charmander with a pistol I'm pretty sure it would die.

I think it is more likely the weapon is a kinetic one, which uses electricity to move, but damages by driving a material to target, which may be Fighting or Steel-type damage,

Maybe they used some special "Magic Eye/Foresight" type move against Marowak. Possibly called "Beat the piss out of you until you die"

OP, do you know how bears are killed before being skinned? Since any method of killing besides drugs would most likely either damage or dirty it's skin, they put an electric baton just like you just watched up their anus and bolt the thing until it dies. While I don't try to imply that they did put the baton into Marowak's anus, I strongly doubt it's internal organs are electric-proof, they could've totally aimed at it's mouth.

look dude, I know next to no Japanese and I understood what was going on at all times just fine. It doesn't take a shitton of liberties with the original story either so you'll probably know a lot of the dialogue by heart anyway.
I know I was reciting Green's boasts in my mind when Red stepped into the Champion's room.
>I was looking forward to seeing you, Red! Hahah, that is so great! My rival should be strong to keep me sharp. While working on my Pokédex, I looked all over for Pokémon. Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any Pokémon type. And now… I am the Pokémon League Champion! Red! Do you know what that means?

A wild pokemon doesn't think strategically like that. That's the whole point of the trainer-pokemon relationship; pokemon become stronger through training and strategic guidance. Marowak was just trying to protect its child.
