[SET COMMENTS]
Alolan Marowak is a fearsome wallbreaker in RU that is also able to soft check many dangerous threats, such as Thundurus, Xurkitree, Toxtricity, and Cobalion, due to its Lighting Rod ability and typing. Unfortunately, Alolan Marowak struggles to find wallbreaking opportunities, and it is also revenge killed easily due to its low Speed stat, vulnerability to Stealth Rock, weaknesses to common types, and mediocre bulk. Swords Dance lets Alolan Marowak break through every wall in RU after one boost. Alternatively, Flame Charge alongside a Jolly nature can be used to prevent it from being outsped and revenge killed by Pokemon such as non-Choice Scarf Heracross, Chandelure, and non-Choice Scarf Tyrantrum after one boost. However, even after one boost, it is still slower than many common threats like Obstagoon, Zarude, and Noivern. Earthquake is specifically to 2HKO itemless Galarian Slowbro, and Incineroar after Intimidate. However, Low Kick can be used instead to be not walled by Snorlax and deal more damage to some bulky Steel-types, such as Registeel, Steelix, and Cobalion. Lightning Rod allows Alolan Marowak to better check Electric-types like Thundurus, Xurkitree, and Toxtricity. A Jolly nature should only be used alongside Flame Charge. If Alolan Marowak is used on Trick Room teams, a Brave nature with a spread of 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD should be used.

An entry hazard remover like Noivern, Crobat, or Togekiss is crucial to pair with Alolan Marowak, as every entry hazard, especially Stealth Rock, limits its ability to switch into the mentioned threats. Offensive pivots like Noivern, Xurkitree, and Thundurus support Alolan Marowak with free switches into defensive Pokemon it defeats easily, such as Registeel, Assault Vest Reuniclus, and Cresselia. Roserade checks Water-types, Golisopod checks Ground-types like Zygarde-10%, and both provide Spikes support. In general, Alolan Marowak appreciates bulky teammates like Togekiss, Seismistoad, and Steelix, since it's easily revenge killed by many Pokemon due to its low base Speed and common weaknesses. Wish support from Umbreon and Sylveon helps Alolan Marowak to stay healthy. Powerful late-game cleaners like Choice Scarf Heracross and Choice Scarf Xurkitree appreciate Alolan Marowak's wallbreaking capabilities. If Alolan Marowak is used on a Trick Room team, Cresselia, Stakataka, and Porygon2 are good Trick Room setters for it.

Alolan Marowak is a fearsome wallbreaker in RU that is also able to soft counter check many dangerous threats such as Thundurus, Xurkitree, Toxtricity, and Cobalion to an extend due to its typing and ability Lighting Rod. [add something about it being slow + rocks weak and thus struggling to find wallbreaking opportunities; we gotta include the negatives along with the positives] As Sword Dance boosts Alolan Marowak Attack stat, it can break through every wall in RU at +2. Alternatively, Flame Charge alongside with a Jolly nature can be used to boosts Alolan Marowak's Speed stat to prevent to be revenge killed by Pokemon such as [non-Scarf] Heracorss("Heracross"), Chandelure, and [non-Scarf] Tyrantrum after one boost. However, it is still slower than much of the meta, including... (Zarude comes to mind) Earthquake is specifically to 2HKO no item Galarian Slowbro and Incineroar after its Intimidate. However, Low Kick can be used instead of Earthquake to be not walled by Snorlax as well as to deal more damage to some bulky Steel-types such as Registeel, Steelix, and Cobalion without recoil. Lightning Rod gives Alolan Marowak an immunity to Electric-type moves which allows it to better check Thundurus, Xurkitree, and Toxtricity. Thick Club is the best item for Alolan Marowak as it doubles its Attack stat without any drawback. A Jolly nature should only use alongside with Flamre Charge. If Alolan Marowak is used on Trick Room teams, a Brave nature with 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD should be used.

An entry hazard remover like Noivern, Crobat, and Togekiss is crucial as every entry hazard, especially Stealth Rocks, limits Alolan Marowak's ability to switch into the mentioned threats. Besides Stealth Rock setters, Alolan Marowak also appreciates Spikes support from Pokemon like Roserade and Golisopod. Roserade can also check Water-types as well as Scald Raikou while Golisopod can check Ground-types like Zygarde-10%. In general, Alolan Marowak appreciates bulky teammates like Togekiss, Seismistoad, and Steelix since its easily revenge killed by many Pokemon due to its low Base Speed and common weaknesses. Wish support from Umbreon and Sylveon helps Alolan Marowak to stay healthy. Next, pivots like Porygon2, Zarude, and Crobat support Alolan Marowak with free switches. [emphasize this point more, it really matters! it should be the 2nd sentence this paragraph. talk about pivots that bring it in against specific targets it can ko. for one example, the slow psychic types; e.x. uturn thundurus or volt xurk bringing it in vs av gbro/reun]. Powerful late-game cleaners like Choice Scarf Heracorss and Shift Gear Toxtricity [that's not a very good/common set. maybe mention rp ttrum or scarf xurk instead] appreciate Alolan Marowak's wallbreaking capabilities. If Alolan Marowak is used on a Trick Room team, Cresselia, Stakataka, Glastrier, and Porygon2 are common Pokemon on this archetype which work nicely with it.

Good job Holy-Darky, I didn't have too many content changes. Also, just look over this for basic spelling errors (such as "Heracorss", "Sword Dance") so that it's easier for the other QC/GP checkers to read.

It's a bit on the long end, try to get rid of a little fluff when this goes to GP. Content-wise this is pretty good though! QC 1/2

Thank you very much Expulso. Sorry about the spelling errors, I'll pay more attention to it in the future.

Fire Punch has no recoil damage, so I didn't implement it.
