He's still a check to Bulu since Fire Blast one shots him easily. He just can't switch in on Bulu, but Marowak can still revenge kill.

I'm pretty sure that if you manage to recover before the turn is over, Schooling won't even activate, since it changes at the end of the turn. It' very different from Defeatist.

If that's the case then you really don't even need to switch out, just hit it with a Bonemerang.

An interesting idea, but I don't know if it'll be that effective on Bewear unless you're running trick room. It's still super slow without recovery, and chances are it's not going to like getting hit with a super effective hit a second time. Not to mention the opponent can easily get something...

I really like this thing, it's such an underrated powerhouse. Even in OU it really pulls its weight around. It catches the Tapu's by complete surprise, since they don't like switching into a STAB Return at all. I'm using leftovers on mine, the slow healing really helps him since his biggest...

Well I feel dumb for not getting that reference. But are there even any grass types that can be considered predators in this region? I guess it just didn't like fighting them due to always having the disadvantage. Eh, Pokedex entries are inconsistent anyway, I wouldn't take them too seriously.

I doubt it's going to tank a Flare Blitz nearly as well as the things I listed though.

It would actually be pretty hilarious if something like Thick Fat Snorlax or even Miltank/Purugly ends up in OU in order to counter Marowak.

I really wouldn't call A-Marowak niche at best. He's being used everywhere right now because he stomps a large portion of Pokemon that everyone uses on their team, whether it be Tapu's, UB's, or anything that doesn't resist his Bonemerang/Shadow Bone. Having a way to take out the one Pokemon...
