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.
