>>31225585Why do people push the new form thing so much anyway? Marshadow doesn't even need one, it'll be a Ubers staple or worst case scenario a top OU mon. Even if it does get a new form it'll be about as powerful as its standard form, not something like Black/White Kyurem
As for the viability of its standard form we know everything, stats, typing, moves and ability. And it's gonna be pretty fucking strong, it doesn't take a fucking genius
>Very few things can switch in safelyGhost and Psychic pokemon will fear Shadow Sneak, Flying will fear Rock Tomb, probably only Fairy types could check it. As for everyone else, there's literally nothing that resists both of its STABs, meaning it will always hit at least neutrally
>Godly speed, very good attack, passable bulkIn terms of stats alone this thing is just a much better Weavile, which is already a pretty good pokemon despite terrible typing and ability
>10/10 movepool and abilityTechnician boosts Shadow Sneak which is a must, and also Rock Tomb, Force Palm and Hidden Power depending on the set you want to use. It also gets Close Combat for a more powerful Fighting STAB, and last but not least, Spectral Thief. Spectral Thief is so goddamn good because it automatically discourages any opponent from setting up, and forces any pokemon who has already set up to switch out when Marshadow comes in. All of that on top of a 90 BP 100 Acc Ghost STAB
If you don't think Marshadow will be good I don't know what to tell you son
