Stadium 2 Pokedex Entry

<_< Pretty sure Marowak only has one head. --Dual 13:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks like someone pasted Dodrio's entry there by mistake. Zurqoxn 18:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Is it really necessary to link EVERY mention of the word 'boomerang' to Bonemerang? --User:Gastly's Mama

Marowak's inital attack stat is doubles by Thick Club, not it's base stat!

So, if it was the be mesured by a base stat, it would be as high as about 210. --Gorebyss 11:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Trivia

Can't we just say that Marowak had the most signature moves UNTIL generation 4, where Lucario eliminated Bone Rush, and Porygon-Z and Vespiquen gained 3?

Or something along those lines. It doesn't make sense, as Lucario was even technically introduced BEFORE gen 4 and PZ and Vespiquen?Vib 23:29, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Grammar

In the Origin section, "it's" should be "its."--Trebligoniqua 18:07, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Trivia

Is it noteworthy that the appearance of Marowak in the Lavender Tower is the only wild Pokémon that cannot be captured?--Skaisdead 18:46, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Trivia, again

"When holding the Thick Club, Marowak can reach a maximum Attack stat of 568. This is the highest attack stat obtainable without the assistance of stat-enhancing moves, abilities, or berries." I removed that because a bunch of Pokemon with a Choice band can surpass it and some Pokemon with Life orb as well. It was reverted because Thick club is Marowak specific, which makes it notable. However there is only one other species specific item riases attack, is it really notable that of the 3 Pokemon that have a species specific attack raising item, Marowak has the highest attack? Or am I missing something? Pikiwyn ^talk 17:58, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

More Trivia

"It is possible to have a Marowak with an attack of 568 if the Thick Club is being held, while having max EVs and IVs in attack, plus a nature that raises its attack."

Is this really noteworthy? Clamperl doesn't get a trivia statement about the use of a DeepSeaTooth. - unsigned comment from Scribbl (talk • contribs)

Hawaiian Night Marcher

could the Alolan origin be based off the hawaiian night marcher mythos?Yamitora1 (talk) 18:40, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Alolan Evolution

It has come to my attention that you must have your Happiness high/possibly max on a Cubone before evolving it at level 28 at night. It cannot just be, as stated, to level it to 28 at night. I have experimented with this myself in Pokemon Sun. I don't know how this hasn't been listed before, but almost nowhere else on the internet mentions it either.--AtomicBugg (talk) 03:48, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Clarification on "regional form" and evolution (top of page)

It's mentioned at the top page of the article that -"In Alola, Marowak has a Fire/Ghost-type regional form. It evolves from Cubone when leveled up at night starting at level 28. All Cubone in Alola evolve into this form regardless of their origin." Although it does state that "All Cubone in Alola" evolve into Alolan Marowak, it does not warn players that it can only evolve into Alolan Marowak in Alola. I feel this can be a bit confusing for players such as myself when reading this. After transferring my Alolan Marowak into Galar and attempting to breed and evolve it into Alolan Marowak for a different ability, I was met with no success and after some research found that "Alolan Marowak is a regional evolution not a regional form. This means that only by evolving it in alola can you get him.". Could we include this tidbit into the top page so players alike avoid any misunderstanding with breeding Marowak outside of Alola, whether it is coming from LGPE or SMUSUM. This can be frustrating. --Cloud9Skywalker (talk) 05:30, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Egg Moves in Gen VIII

I see that for the moves Detect and Double Kick in the Egg Moves table, it says that there is no legitimate way to pass down those two moves. However, can't someone transfer a Cubone/Marowak from Gen VII that knows one of those moves and breed? If the game recognizes Detect and Double Kick as Egg Moves then the Cubone that hatches will know them. That is certainly a legitimate way to get those two moves.

I guess to fix the table, we would put Cubone and Marowak as the only parents for Detect and Double Kick, and maybe add a special note that says "Transfer from Gen VII" to correct this issue. - unsigned comment from Hero231 (talk • contribs) }

Grass-Types?

In no dex entry does Marowak have a rivalry with Grass-types. I get it's a Ground type, but come on, a lot of other Pokémon are weak to Grass-types. As far as I'm concerned, that fact does not even make sense, because there are so little, if any Grass-types where it would live. Who even got the idea to say that?--Power-Point Panpour (talk) 03:25, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

The information was from the official Pokemon site, but the cited link doesn't work.--ForceFire 05:37, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Oh, okay. I looked there, and you are right. I just found that fact a little odd. Thank you for correcting me.--Power-Point Panpour (talk) 17:25, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
