Kiawe's Marowak: Difference between revisions

|gender=Unknown<!--The costume in SM061 is not sufficient proof-->

In ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'', Marowak was sent out at the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] in order to rescue {{an|Lillie}}'s mother, [[Lusamine]], from the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}} that had captured and possessed her. When the possessed Lusamine sent out her {{p|Salazzle}} in order to attack everyone, Kiawe used Marowak and Turtonator to battle against it while letting the others chase after Lusamine. Marowak and Turtonator simultaneously launched a {{m|Bonemerang}} and {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, respectively. Not knowing which move to dodge, Salazzle was hit by both attacks. However, despite the critical damage inflicted to it, [[SM054|the next episode]] revealed that Salazzle was forced to continue fighting by Nihilego. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} to defeat Nihilego.

In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Marowak joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}.

In [[SM118]], Kiawe chose to use Marowak to battle [[Ryuki]] at the [[Kantonian Gym]]. However, Marowak was too distracted by Ryuki's music to focus on the battle, allowing Ryuki's {{p|Zweilous}} to easily defeat it with a single {{m|Dark Pulse}}.

==Personality and characteristics==

Marowak is a brash and self-centered Pokémon, as demonstrated when it stole the Wela Crown and attacked anyone who got in its way. Marowak also seems to like dancing whenever it is happy, even doing so in the middle of the ruckus caused by it stealing the crown. It was also an eager battler and to have temperament issues, repeatedly attacking [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] even after it was defeated and caught by Kiawe. Since its capture, it seems to have developed a rivalry with Kiawe's Turtonator. This was demonstrated in ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', where, despite being a teammate, it kept on attacking Turtonator and even glared at it while eating its food. It has also been seen attacking Turtonator's targets, knocking them out before Turtonator can attack them in [[Double Battle]]s. Despite its regular rivalry with Turtonator, it is capable to work as a team with it in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'' and blushed when Turtonator smiled at it in ''[[SM070|The Young Flame Strikes Back!]]''.

Despite its problems with controlling its temper, it cares for the Pokémon belonging to its Trainer's friends, such as in ''[[SM086|I Choose Paradise!]]'', where it happily played with its fellow Pokémon and even carried [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] to the pool at the Pokémon Paradise Resort. It has even been shown caring for wild Pokémon, as shown in ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', when it happily petted a wild {{p|Relicanth}}. In the same episode, Marowak was also shown to love the taste of [[Poni Island]] {{wp|daikon}}. Marowak, like its Trainer, tends to shed tears of joy and pride when it successfully attempts something, such as making a nice shot during a PokéGolf game in [[SM110]]. In the same episode, it was shown to be the voice of reason, when it tried to calm down its eccentric Trainer.

Marowak is shown to like music, as seen in [[SM118]], when [[Ryuki]] played music to calm down his {{p|Zweilous}}, Marowak was seen dancing to it. This distraction ended up costing Marowak the match.

In [[PASM11]], Kiawe was attacked by [[Gladion]] after refusing to tell him where the [[Ruins of Life]] were located. After learning of situation, Sun, Moon, [[Lana]], and [[Mallow]] traveled to [[Memorial Hill]], where they found an unconscious Kiawe and Marowak lying there, defeated. Marowak and Kiawe were healed with Moon's medicinal skills.
