Which is better in competitive: Magnezone or Marowak?
When I ran calcs with Magnezone Choice Specs, it could literally OHKO or 2HKO any stallers. It can OHKO Mandibuzz with Thunderbolt, same with Toxapex, same with Corvinight, Steel Beam is all it takes to OHKO Hippowdon, and many more. But Marowak-Alola usually 2HKO or rarely, 3HKO or OHKO. I want your advice which Pokemon is better.

Well….tough one.Let’s see the Pros and Cons:Marowak:Pros-Access to has a duper high atk stat of 160 withought any conséquence with Thick Club- Rare wallbreaker typing- Strong ability of Lightning rod makes it immune to electric type and Rock head makes it loose all the recoil from the Stab Flare Blitz-Good pyschical def. stat of 110-Movepool wasn’t badCons-Speed of 45 ain’t give it a chance to outspeed the other sweeper, which’s a big problem-Rock head was hard to obtain in-game seems it’s a hidden ability (of course this doesn’t matter you seems ur playing showdown.)-Could received a lot of damage by a lot of other super-effective attacks.
Magnezone:Pros:-Extremly high SpAtk-Good defensive typing-Magnet Pull was awful nice-Could OHKO a lot of tanks such as toxapex:
Cons-Typing receive 4x damage from ground type attacks-Speed isn’t that good, which need a scarf if you want to outspeed other offensive sweepers in OU
So at last, I have to say Manezone was the winner due to it could type more hits and immune from the Toxic stallers such as Blissy and Eviolate Chansey and had more advantage on wall breaker, although Alolan Marowak was also good.If you want a Psychical, go with MarowakIf you wants a Special, go with Magnezone
