PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

• Mud Slap benefits from STAB and is the best Fast Move available for offense.
• Rock Smash is a poor move. 
• Earthquake is the best Charge Move and synergizes well to fulfill a Ground-type role. 
• Bone Club is a poor move, likewise Dig is also quite terrible. 

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

• Rock Smash and Mud Slap are on a par with each other despite the former lacking STAB due to different coverage.
• Rock Slide is the best Charge Move for defense due to its fantastic coverage. 
• Bone Club can be spammed on defense as a 3-bar move, but its damage is laughable. 
• Earthquake and Dig have very long animations, making them easy to dodge.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Mud Slap + Rock Slide and Bone Club or Earthquake

Mud Slap benefits from STAB to slap the opponent for considerable damage, though its energy generation is below average. Rock Smash is a poor move. 

Rock Slide is the only coverage option available, making it mandatory for Marowak, and is a good Charge Move overall. Bone Club is a poor move, but can still be chosen for its low energy cost in order to bait shields or deal chip damage. Earthquake is the opposite, threatening massive damage while also demanding a lot of energy for this power. Dig is a terrible move. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1 / 5

Marowak lives in the haunted shadow of its Alolan counterpart. It faces too much competition from other Ground types, and doesn't have a particular niche to call its own. Your best bet is to just look elsewhere. Perfect coverage from Ground and Rock type coverage is very valuable, but poor energy generation means Marowak can't take advantage of this perk often enough. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Marowak is unaviable in the Ultra League

Master League: 0 / 5

If you use Marowak in the Master league, you're basically boned.
