== Death == | |||
Has anyone here ever given thought that in the anime and the games, that Pokémon can't die. Even in the movie, {{p|Celebi}} is revived. But here Marowak and Cubone wear the skulls of their DEAD mom. Am I the only one seeing this inaproppriate?--[[User:Machamp ion|Machamp ion]] 16:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC) | Has anyone here ever given thought that in the anime and the games, that Pokémon can't die.

:...yes Pokémon can die...just not in gameplay, and occasionally in the anime. Latios, Lucario, and Darkrai are all dead. Also, in order to become a fossil, you need to die, and we have lots of Pokémon brought back through fossils. | :...yes Pokémon can die...just not in gameplay, and occasionally in the anime.

I,ve heard of this theory from many places, we could say somthing like "It is a populer theory amung fandom that cubone is an orphaned Kanghaskhan whose evelution was alterd due to the skull it placed on its head". If not could the Orphan/Baby Kangaskhan theory at least be put in the fandom section under Fake Pokémon (it is definatly worth noting).

:I read somewhere that there was apparently an interview with Satoshi by Nintendo Power where it was mentioned that a Cubone->Marowak->Kangaskhan evolution line was the original idea until they decided Kangaskhan would be better stand-alone. However, those sprites in that picture are fan-made. Also, most of the official artwork I see of Kangaskhan shows that her baby is gray.[[User:Scorponis|Scorponis]] 01:36, 15 April 2011 (UTC) | |||
== A pretty decent look at its face? == | |||
I was just made aware of a set of cards released by Bandai in 1997 with unique art done by Sugimori. Cubone's can be seen here: | |||

Source here: http://community.livejournal.com/prtcg/8417.html | |||
This is, to my knowledge, the best look at its face that I've ever seen. The fact that it was illustrated by Sugimori would lend some credibility to it being canon - could this be implemented in the article somewhere? [[User:Silverlucario|Silverlucario]] 08:59, 21 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
== German meaning == | |||
<<A combination of [...] and oss, a form of the Latin word for bone>>. | |||
Actually in the declination of the latin os, ossis there is no oss... I think it does not actually comes from there--[[User:CiaobyDany|CiaobyDany]] ([[User talk:CiaobyDany|talk]]) 20:56, 18 September 2012 (UTC) | |||
== Elephant == | |||
Could one of its origins be the elephant? Elephants are large and formidable creatures and therefore are hard to take down, like a Cubone and Marowak due to their high defense stat. They are also one of the most powerful creatures alive today similar to how Marowak currently has the highest attack capability. The biggest similarity between Cubone's family and elephants are their reactions to death. It has been shown that elephants are vary sensitive to the death of their family or even others of their own species and have some kind of feeling to bones of dead elephants. In one particular examination of elephants a matriarch of a family of African elephants died devastating them all, but most surprising of all her calf began to weep and scream at the dead mammal as a Cubone is said to do in numerous pokedex entries. Also in the crystal pokedex entry for Marowak it references a mass Marowak graveyard hidden in the world a reference to the modern myth of the elephants graveyard. {{unsigned|Toymoo}} | |||
== Potential trivia? == | |||
The inroduction of Alolan Marowak makes Cubone the only other Pokemon besides Eevee that can completely change its typing upon evolution. [[User:TheFatPanda|TheFatPanda]] ([[User talk:TheFatPanda|talk]]) 04:40, 29 August 2016 (UTC) | |||
:If it's no longer unique, it's not notable--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#AB2813">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#C87365">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#26649C">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#729ABF">ire</span>]] 04:57, 29 August 2016 (UTC) | |||
::My input: I'd say it's notable, it would just need to be reworded, like "Cubone's type changes completely upon evolution." As long as we don't write anything saying it is the only one apart from Eevee, I think it's fine. As per the trivia policy: "Information widely considered being interesting that does not fit into another section of the article." --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#98CC00">Celad</span>]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#FFC37D">onkey</span>]] 02:03, 16 February 2017 (UTC) | |||
== Alolan Evolution == | |||
It has come to my attention that you must have your Happiness high/possibly max on a Cubone before evolving it at level 28 at night. It cannot just be, as stated, to level it to 28 at night. I have experimented with this myself in Pokemon Sun. I don't know how this hasn't been listed before, but almost nowhere else on the internet mentions it either.--[[User:AtomicBugg|AtomicBugg]] ([[User talk:AtomicBugg|talk]]) 03:47, 23 February 2017 (UTC)AtomicBugg | |||
:How did you test it? At night, go catch a brand new {{p|Cubone}} at [[Wela Volcano Park]], and then immediately level it up to level 28. (Using {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} is easiest, or else train it at [[Poni Gauntlet]], especially with a {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Lucky Egg}}.) It will evolve at level 28 exactly, which it wouldn't do if you needed high friendship. If you check it at the {{DL|Konikoni City|friendship rater}} after evolving, you should also see that the phrase she uses is nowhere near the max phrase.
