Special abilities

Marowak are highly skilled at fighting with the bones they carry around, capable of using them as clubs for close combat or as boomerang-like throwing weapons.

Marowak, and its pre-evolution, Cubone, are the only known Pokémon that learn Bone Club and Bonemerang.

Behavior

Upon evolution, Marowak has overcome the grief of never seeing its mother. Its behavior has become ferocious and savage.

In the anime

Marowak first appeared in Bad to the Bone under the ownership of Otoshi, who had recently got his gym badges stolen by Team Rocket. The Marowak left Otoshi because it felt that if he lost his badges, he lost the respect Marowak had for him. Marowak finally decided to come back and help its trainer when he battled Team Rocket to get his badges back.

Luana, the Gym Leader of Kumquat Island, used a Marowak and an Alakazam against Ash's Pikachu and Charizard in Pokémon Double Trouble.

During the first round of the Hoenn League in From Brags to Riches, Morrison's opponent, Gavin, used a Marowak and a Machamp against Morrison's Gligar and Growlithe. Gavin's Marowak defeated Morrison's Growlithe and was defeated by Morrison's Gligar.

In The Ole' Berate and Switch, a Pokémon trainer used a Marowak in a fake tournament that was created by Team Rocket.

At the start of Gymbaliar, Jessie faced an a opponent with a Marowak. It defeated her Dustox.

In the manga

Super Nerd William used a Marowak in Volume 4 of Pokémon Special to attack Yellow using its Bonemerang.
