It's the true Beast Killer, only failing to beat the weakest of the original 7 (and maybe the new ones). Also beats 3/4 Tapu.

3 immunities, good abilities, great attack, good stabs, decent bulk, ability to set up rocks.
Not as common as it was though. People learned to play around it. Still a really fun unique Pokemon though

Is Rock Head Alolan Marowak viable? That combination of Flare Blitz + Thicc Club + Rock Head is too strong for overlooking it.

It could definitely be viable in singles, but alolawak is better suited for doubles due to covering it's allies from electric moves and trick room is much better in doubles.

it directly counters Tapu Koko, which pretty much makes up the meta along with Landorus, and deals with all of the Ultra Beasts and sort of Tapu Lele pretty well.

Yes it's the only one that sees use anymore.
>covering it's allies from electric moves
He was specifically asking about rock head.

Nothing new that gets knock off is hugely impactful though, it's been a tutor in ORAS so most things that are getting knock off in USUM can already run it in anything not named VGC.

Without LR Marowak loses against Tapu Kek but otherwise it's very much viable. Marowak is mostly used in doubles to support bulky Waters by baiting Discharge and with Tapu Bulu supporting it so the Flare Blitz recoil is mitigated.

it doesn't really shit on Lele. Psychic does a ton (not sure if OHKO but close, if specs it's an OHKO no questions asked) and Psyshock also deals sizable damage.
