Marshadow brings raw power that's hard to match. Fighting/Ghost typing and comfortably outruns most offensive threats — it checks a lot of boxes at once. Normal and Fighting moves can't touch it, which offsets the 4 weaknesses somewhat. Known as the Gloomdweller Pokemon.
The stat budget goes to damage. Attack and Speed carry the offense, Defense doesn't even come close. A Gloomdweller Pokemon on a slow 1.25M XP grind, worth 3 Attack and Speed EVs per KO.
Able to conceal itself in shadows, it never appears before humans, so its very existence was the stuff of myth.
It lurks in the shadows of others, copying their movements and powers. This Pokémon is craven and cowering.
Marshadow Weakness
GoodType-wise, Marshadow takes extra damage from Flying, Psychic, Ghost, and Fairy. Normal and Fighting moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity.
You won't find Marshadow in any egg group. This Fighting/Ghost mythical has 600 total stats and only shows up through limited events.
