Marowak (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Marowak is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light brown skin and a cream-colored underside. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and one large nail on each foot makes up its toes. It has a short tail with a small spike near the tip. Marowak's head is composed of the skull it once wore as a mask. It can no longer remove the skull, which has become part of its body. The skull has two pointed spikes on the back similar to ears and tiny nostrils on the tip of the snout. Marowak's triangular, brown eyes are also located in the skull. Marowak is well known for its ferocity with its bone club, which it is said to collect from a hidden graveyard. Despite its small size, Marowak's body is as {{a|Battle Armor|sturdy as armor}}.

Marowak and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Cubone}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}. Marowak and Cubone are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Thick Club]] item. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, {{m|Bone Rush}} was another one of their signature moves.

Alolan Marowak is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Bone}}.

===Evolution===

In [[Alola]], Marowak has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Cubone.
