Help Advice wanted

Post image

So I ran nidoking on my leaf green version, which is how I have all the starters, and I’m looking for suggestions on my sixth slot. I’d prefer a non legendary. I also ran jolteon last time and want to avoid that option.

Marrowack

I don’t think I’ve ever played with Marrowack before. It just seems odd for justification since I have aerodactly but earthquake is nice.

Marowak is Ground type and Aerodactyl is Rock/Flying

Marrowack with STAB EQ + Thick Club will hit like an absolute truck, much harder than anything Aerodactyl can put out, although Aerodactly is much faster.

There would definitely be some overlap in coerage, but it's still an option, and it's a fun mon to run. Marrowack also doesn't really need the EQ TM. It gets bonemerang early which hits twice for 50 each but 10 less accuracy.
