What are the best moves for Alolan Marowak in Pokemon GO?

The best Fast Moves when playing PvP battles in Niantic's AR-based mobile game are those that do the highest damage and produce the most energy per second (EPS). The best Charged Moves are those that deal maximum damage while consuming the least amount of energy.

Alolan Marowak gets access to a lot of fantastic Charged and Fast Attacks, which fit these exact needs. They are as follows:

Fast Moves

  • Rock Smash - 11.5 DPS - 7.7 EPS

  • Fire Spin - 15.3 DPS - 9.1 EPS

Charged Moves

  • Fire Blast - 40 DPS - -23.8 EPS
  • Flame Wheel - 26.7 DPS - -18.5 EPS
  • Shadow Bone - 34.3 DPS - -17.9 EPS

For an offensively built Alolan Marowak in Pokemon GO, Fire Spin is the best Fast Move because of its sheer damage output. Hex, because of the energy it can farm, is the best defensive Fast Move pick.

Either way, Shadow Ball is the ideal Charged Move for Alolan Marowak in Pokemon GO. If you want a second one as well, go for Fire Blast.

Alolan Marowak is a decent all-rounder in the game. It has the following stats:

  • Attack - 144
  • Defense - 186
  • Stamina - 155

It is a Ghost and Fire dual-type critter. Therefore, it is resistant to seven elemental types: Poison, Bug, Steel, Fire, Grass, Ice, and Fairy. This makes it an excellent defensive creature in the game's PvP scene, and Alolan Marowak is also able to dish out a decent chunk of damage. Just make sure not to put it up against a Water, Ground, Rock, Dark, or Ghost-type creature and you are good to go.


Other than Alolan Marowak, three-star raids during the event will also feature Turtonator, Flareon, and Umbreon. Lucky raiders will also be able to encounter shiny Alolan Marowak and Turtonator.
