Marshadow is a pretty good Pokemon in Anything Goes. It has great STAB moves, high Speed, decent Attack, and Technician.

However, it faces competition as a Ghost type from Calyrex-Shadow, the best Pokemon in Anything Goes. Also notice how I said decent Attack. 125 is good and all especially when Shadow Sneak and Rock Tomb are boosted by Technician, however Calyrex-Shadow has much more offensive power unlike Marshadow, its movepool isn’t exactly as limited, with things like Psyshock, Draining Kiss, Leaf Storm, Trick, Aromatherapy, Substitute, Nasty Plot, and a more reliable Ghost STAB in Astral Barrage. Caly can run multiple sets i.e. Choice Specs, Choice Scarf, Focus Sash (Defog support from Ho-oh and/or Yveltal is mandatory for Sash sets), Sub+Seed, Nasty Plot 3 attacks… Marshadow is pretty much stuck using its Life Orb set which makes it very predictable. However, Marshadow’s access to Shadow Sneak and Calyrex-S’s frailty and 4x Ghost weakness means Marshadow is great at removing the most dangerous Pokemon in the game. Of course, Yveltal and Ditto can do that too.

Marshadow is probably the best Pokemon at stopping sweepers and cleaning up weakened opponents. Nothing in AG can resist both of Marshadow’s STAB moves. I recommend this moveset.

Marshadow is an excellent mon. Let’s look at a moveset. (My last one was based on a playthrough because I assumed you were in a playthrough)

One thing I would add is that you could use poison jab if you wanted instead of rock tomb

I don’t know what AG you’re talking about but I’ll answer for all 3Gen 8 AGIf you need a Ghost Type, just use Calyrex-Shadow. If you need a physical sweeper that can use fighting moves, go with Zacian-C. If you want to deal with stat boosters, go with Ditto. It’s a great Pokémon, but you can do better.NatDex AGSee above.Gen 7 AGAn awesome physical sweeper here. It can steal stats with strong STAB spectral thieves, hit with Priority Technician boosted STAB shadow sneaks, hit with very powerful STAB Close Combats, and annoy with Technician Boosted Rock Tombs. It can also take advantage of Hidden Power and Pursuit getting technician boosts.As for the set, go with Smogon’s:Marshadow @ Life Orb

Ability: TechnicianEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Spectral Thief- Shadow Sneak- Close Combat- Rock TombIf you really want to use it in gen 8, you can swap Spectral Thief for Poltergeist, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
