Marowak (#105) is a Ground-type Pokémon from the Kanto region (Generation 1) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,100 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Marowak can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Marowak in 2026.
Marowak's Attack stat is 144 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Marowak may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 186 Defense (Excellent) and 155 Stamina (Good), the total stat product is 485. This gives Marowak reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Ground-type Pokémon, Marowak's stat distribution favors defense.
The best moveset for Marowak depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Mud Slap (Fast) with Bone Club (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Marowak has 2 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Marowak can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Ground typing provides useful matchups against Electric, Poison, Rock-type threats while being weak to Water, Grass, Ice types.
In Master League, Marowak faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Marowak's effectiveness depends on its typing and 144 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Marowak use Water, Grass-type moves.
Marowak can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Sunny/Clear weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.

Shadow Marowak is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Pokémon deal 20% more damage but take 20% more damage, making them excellent glass cannons. Shadow Marowak's effective Attack becomes ~173. For raids, keeping it Shadow is usually better than purifying.
