In the anime

History

Marowak and Kiawe

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 Rescuing the Unwilling!, 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. Marowak and Turtonator simultaneously launched a Bonemerang and Inferno Overdrive, respectively. Not knowing which move to dodge, Salazzle was hit by both attacks. However, despite the critical damage inflicted to it, the next episode revealed that Salazzle was forced to continue fighting by Nihilego. The battle ended when Ash and Pikachu performed 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt to defeat Nihilego.

In SM063, Kiawe used Marowak during his Battle Royal match against the Masked Royal and his Incineroar, Ash and his Litten, and Sophocles and his Charjabug, but was soon defeated by Incineroar's Darkest Lariat.

In SM070, Marowak was used to battle Bourgain and his underlings, who had been harassing Kiawe and his family. Alongside Turtonator, it was easily able to fend off the underlings' Roggenrola and Boldore, but struggled against Bourgain's Electivire after Turtonator was knocked out. Kiawe and Marowak attempted to perform Inferno Overdrive together for the first time, but failed because Kiawe doubted Marowak's ability to perform the Z-Move, allowing Electivire to knock Marowak out with a Thunder Punch. After spending a night of training together, Kiawe and Marowak challenged Bourgain to a rematch. This time, the two were able to use Inferno Overdrive successfully, defeating Electivire.

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.

In PASM11, 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.

Later, Marowak was used to battle the Ultra Beasts used by Guzma at Po Town. Together with Mallow's Steenee, it fought against a Pheromosa before later being defeated by a Celesteela.
