Alolan Marowak Raid Guide For Pokémon GO Players: Dark Flames

Alolan Marowak is back in Tier Three Raids during the Dark Flames event, now live in Pokémon GO. Here's how you can defeat it.

The new Dark Flames event brings a focus on Fire-types and Dark-types to Pokémon GO. It features Heatran in Tier Five Raids, the debut of Mega Sableye in Mega Raids, and an interesting array of species in Tier Three raids, including the debut of Turtonator with its Shiny already released. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Alolan Marowak in Tier Three raids. Let's get into it.

Top Alolan Marowak Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Alolan Marowak counters as such:

• Primal Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
• Primal Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Mega Gengar: Luck, Shadow Ball
• Mega Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
• Shadow Tyranitar: Smack Down, Brutal Swing
• Mega Swampert: Mud Shot, Hydro Cannon
• Mega Banette: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
• Mega Blastoise: Water Gun, Hydro Cannon
• Shadow Garchomp: Mud Shot, Earth Power
• Mega Houndoom: Snarl, Foul Play

It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Alolan Marowak with efficiency.

• Kyogre: Waterfall, Origin Pulse
• Groudon: Mud Shot, Precipice Blades
• Rampardos: Smack Down, Rock Slide
• Hydreigon: Bite, Brutal Swing
• Darkrai: Snarl, Shadow Ball
• Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
• Chandelure: Hex, Shadow Ball
• Origin Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Shadow Force
• Gengar: Lick, Shadow Ball
• Tyrantrum: Rock Throw, Meteor Beam

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Alolan Marowak can be defeated by just one Trainer! You can do it on your solo-dolo. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have three or more players.

Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon.

Shiny Odds in Pokémon GO

Alolan Marowak has a boosted Shiny rate in Pokémon GO which is approximately set to one in 60.
