Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen

The bone it holds is its key weapon. It throws the bone skillfully like a boomerang to KO targets.

Pokémon Silver

It collects bones from an unknown place. A Marowak graveyard exists somewhere in the world, rumors say.

Pokémon Crystal

Somewhere in the world is a cemetery just for MAROWAK. It gets its bones from those graves.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Marowak is the evolved form of a Cubone that has overcome its sadness at the loss of its mother and grown tough. This Pokémon's tempered and hardened spirit is not easily broken.

Pokémon Emerald

A Marowak is the evolved form of a Cubone that has grown tough by overcoming the grief of losing its mother. Its tempered and hardened spirit is not easily broken.

Pokémon FireRed

It is small and was originally very weak. Its temperament turned ferocious when it began using bones.

Name origin

Marowak's name might be a combination of marrow and whack. Garagara may be taken to mean がらがら, clattering. It is worth noting that garagara denotes heavier clattering than karakara.

Marowak's original English name was going to be "Guardia," which is "guardian" without the "n."

Special Moves

In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Marowak knows Shadow End and Shadow Panic as a Shadow Pokémon, and learns Sing after being purified.

In the anime

Marowak first appeared in EP073 under the ownership of Otoshi, who had recently lost his badges. The Marowak left Otashi 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 was attacked by Team Rocket.

Luana, the Gym Leader of Kumquat Island, used a Marowak and Alakazam against Ash's Pikachu and Charizard in EP108.
