In the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], before the {{player}} reaches Lavender Town, members of [[Team Rocket]] invade the Pokémon Tower and attempt to steal the skulls of {{p|Cubone}} in order to sell them for large amounts of {{pkmn|Dollar|money}}. One Cubone, however, was protected by its mother. The Cubone escaped, but its mother was killed. As a result, the Marowak's ghost remained in the Pokémon Tower, forbidding access to the topmost floor. She appears as a {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}} that prevents the player from ascending to the top floor until they obtain the [[Silph Scope]] to identify her.
