Kiawe's Marowak (Japanese: カキのガラガラ Kaki's Garagara) is the third Pokémon owned by Kiawe.

In the anime

Marowak first appeared in A Crowning Moment of Truth!, where it stole the treasured Wela Crown, an item said to boost the powers of the Pokémon wearing it, from Wela Volcano Park. Kiawe challenged Marowak to a battle with his Turtonator in order to retrieve the stolen crown, but ended up getting defeated. After having a practice battle with Ash, Kiawe returned the next day and challenged Marowak to a rematch. Using its newly learned Shell Smash, Turtonator was able to gain the power and speed necessary to defeat Marowak, finishing it off with Inferno Overdrive. After its defeat, Marowak conceded the crown and, to Kiawe's surprise, asked to join his team. Accepting Marowak's request, Kiawe then caught the Bone Keeper Pokémon.

In SM053, Marowak was sent out at the Ultra Deep Sea in order to rescue Lillie's mother, Lusamine, from the Nihilego that had captured and possessed her. When the possessed Lusamine sent out her Salazzle in order to attack everyone, Kiawe used Marowak and Turtonator to battle against it while letting the others chase after Lusamine. Salazzle was defeated after Marowak and Turtonator simultaneously launched a Bonemerang and Inferno Overdrive, respectively. Not knowing which move to dodge, Salazzle was hit by both attacks, defeating it.

Personality and characteristics

Marowak disappointed at its Trainer's loss

Marowak has been shown to be a brash and self-centered Pokémon, as demonstrated when it stole the Wela Crown and attacked anyone who got in its way. Marowak also seems to like dancing, even doing so in the middle of the ruckus caused by it stealing the crown and when it's happy. It was also shown to be an eager battler and to have temperament issues, repeatedly attacking Kiawe's Turtonator even after it was defeated and caught by Kiawe.

Since its capture, it seems to have developed a rivalry with Kiawe's Turtonator. This was demonstrated in Currying Favor and Flavor!, where, despite being a teammate, it kept on attacking Turtonator and even glared at it while eating its food.

Marowak will not tolerate another of its kind being nearby and will fight to the bitter end, as shown in Alola, Kanto!, when Kiawe and Brock tried to compare it with its regional variant.

In the manga

Marowak in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Marowak first appeared in PASM08. It was first used to battle Sun's Dollar at Heahea City. Dollar was initially bewildered by Marowak's ability to manipulate its flames, but Sun quickly figured out how to avoid the flames and fight back. The battle was called off after Kiawe decided to call his boss at the Thrifty Megamart and apologize for leaving work without telling anyone.

Later, Kiawe was attacked by Gladion after refusing to tell him where the Ruins of Life were located. After learning of situation, Sun, Moon, Lana, and Mallow traveled to Memorial Hill, where they found an unconscious Kiawe and Marowak lying there, defeated. Marowak and Kiawe were healed with Moon's medicinal skills.

After Gladion was defeated, Tapu Lele challenged the group to a battle to test their strength. Marowak was used alongside Sun's En, Moon's Mareanie, and Kahili's Skarmory to face the guardian deity. Despite the combined effort of their attacks, Tapu Lele managed to easily blow their attacks away until En evolved into a Torracat and launched a successful attack. While the attack didn't harm Tapu Lele, it acknowledged their determination and flew off.
