The '''ghost of a Marowak''' haunts the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]]. This {{OBP|ghost|literal}} is the mother of a {{p|Cubone}}. | |||
==In the games== | |||
In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, 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 [[Pokémon 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|literal}}, avoids all thrown [[Poké Ball]]s, and scares opponents into being unable to attack. However, with the [[Silph Scope]] it is possible to {{pkmn|battle}}d her. Once she was defeated, her soul was calmed, and she departed to the afterlife, allowing the player passage to the top floor. | |||
==In | Even after the Silph Scope is used on it, the Marowak ghost will continue to dodge thrown [[Poké Ball]]s (including [[Master Ball]]s), even while {{status|sleep}}ing. | ||

The Marowak ghost makes an appearance in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]''. Here, she plays the same role that she does in the games, warning intruders to stay away. The Marowak and her child {{p|Cubone}} used to live peacefully until Team Rocket began poaching Pokémon in the area. When they attempted to capture Cubone as well, Marowak stepped in to protect it, only to be killed with a stun baton while her child was running away. | The Marowak ghost makes an appearance in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO02|File 2 - Cubone]]''.

* | * This ghost Marowak one of the few [[wild Pokémon]] encountered by the player after the player has access to Poké Balls that is impossible to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}. The only other two to share this trait are the Black {{p|Kyurem}}{{sup/5|B2}} and White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}; however, when battling against these {{DL|Form differences|Kyurem|forms of Kyurem}}, Poké Balls cannot be used at all. | ||
* Despite the fact that this Marowak is a {{OBP|ghost|literal}}, it is not treated as a {{type|Ghost}} by the game, and thus is still affected by {{t|Normal}} and {{type|Fighting}} moves. | * Despite the fact that this Marowak is a {{OBP|ghost|literal}}, it is not treated as a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon by the game, and thus is still affected by {{t|Normal}} and {{type|Fighting}} moves. | ||
* In [[Generation I]] games, {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Ghost Marowak glitch|a glitch}} exists where a [[Poké Doll]] can be used against the Marowak, which will make it flee the fight and allow the player to pass on as if it were defeated. This allows the player to skip getting the Silph Scope and the Celadon Rocket Hideout completely, and was addressed in the remakes. | * In [[Generation I]] games, {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Ghost Marowak glitch|a glitch}} exists where a [[Poké Doll]] can be used against the Marowak, which will make it flee the fight and allow the player to pass on as if it were defeated.
