→‎Name origin: Cue ball makes literally no sense... Bones are white and hard so they must be related to billiards? what? And that's not what cubo means in latin. It means "to lie down, recline".

 ====Name origin====
-Cubone may be a combination of ''cute'' and ''bone'', ''cub'' and ''bone'', or ''{{wp|Billiard ball|cue ball}}'' (a reference to its pale white head or that its bone resembles a billiards or snooker cue) and ''bone''. It could also be a combination of the Latin word ''cubo'' (recluse) and ''bone''; this can refer to its lonely nature.
+Cubone may be a combination of ''cub'' or cute, and ''bone''.
 Karakara may be taken to mean からから (clattering). It is worth noting that ''karakara'' denotes lighter clattering than がらがら ''{{p|Marowak|garagara}}''.
