Blizzard / Ice Beam
I was looking for a fourth move for Marowak-Alola. It attracts Lando-T, Zygarde, and Garchomp better than a chick magnet and realized it learned Ice Beam. My first reaction was wtf why does this thing learn Ice Beam. My second reaction was wtf Marowak learns Blizzard too and can actually OHKO non-helmet Lando-T assuming it hits. Blizzard gets the first slash ahead of Ice Beam because there’s no reason for Marowak to stay and take an Earthquake or Thousand Arrows so might as well go for the home run. As for the other set details, I chose Lightning Rod over Rock Head because this set was used on a team with Mantine and I wanted a switch in for incoming Thunderbolts. If Marowak gets a +1, all of the calculations below become OHKOs and Marowak can even OHKO Rocky Helmet Landorus-Therian.
