Cubone (Japanese: カラカラ, HepburnKarakara) (CUE-bone[1]) is a Ground-Type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Cubone, known as the Lonely Pokémon, appears to be a small, brown, dinosaur-like Pokémon that constantly wears its skull like helmet. The skull masks its true face from view, which makes it a puzzlement for many Trainers and researchers. Its cries echo within the skull and it comes out as a pained and sad melody. On the night of a full moon, it cries, for it seems to recognize its mother's face in the moon. Its tears create stains on the skull. Cubone has a plump body with a paler-colored underbelly, with strong, clawed limbs to carry a bone as a weapon around wherever it goes. Cubone has a single, nailed toe on each foot, with two spikes on its back. A small tail is also present for balance, but it can be used for attacking.

Natural abilities[]

Cubone's real face has never been seen before, thanks to its bone mask. When it thinks of its dead mother, it cries. Its crying makes the skull it wears rattle loudly.

Evolution[]

Cubone evolves into Marowak at level 28.

In Alola, it evolves into Alolan Marowak at night starting at level 28.

Appearances[]

Anime[]

Goh Cubone

Goh's Cubone

In the anime, Cubone first appeared in "The School of Hard Knocks" under the ownership of a pretty yet snobby Pokémon Academy student named Giselle, who battled her Cubone against Ash's Pikachu. A Cubone was among the four Pokémon that were causing trouble for Pikachu and co. during Pikachu's Vacation. A Cubone was seen helping Team Rocket's Meowth prepare his party in Pichu Bros. in Party Panic. This Cubone played drums in Meowth's band and got easily sad and gloomy when Meowth chewed it out, but it was also easily consolable.

Goh caught a Cubone when he befriended it as he helped it recover its lost bone in "A Snow Day for Searching!".

Manga[]

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cubone makes a cameo in Onix is On!, part of the Red, Green & Blue chapter, battling against Red's Bulbasaur as a Pewter Gym trainer's Pokémon. Super Nerd William used a Marowak to attack Yellow using its Bonemerang. Crystal owns a Cubone, who has a star-shaped crack in its skull. Cubone's main role in the team is to take out targets from afar using its bone-based attacks.

Other Appearances[]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]

In the Pokémon Stadium 2 stage, a Cubone can be seen on the Ground Terrain standing atop the highest platform built into a rock. Dugtrio & Pokémon Fossils can also be seen on the Ground Terrain.

Trophy Description[]

"A Lonely Pokémon. It wears its mother's skull as a helmet--for this reason, no one has ever seen its face. It sometimes sees its departed mother's face in the full moon, which causes it to grow sad and cry. The stains on the skull are tracks of its tears. When it cries, the skull shakes and emits a mournful sound. When it levels up, it evolves into Marowak."

Trivia[]

  • The appearance of Cubone's bone resembles that of either a broken leg bone or a tendon.
  • Cubone and Marowak are the only Pokémon that can learn Bone Club and Bonemerang.
  • There is a popular belief that a Kangaskhan baby whose mother dies takes her skull and one of her bones and evolves into Cubone, which evolves into Marowak and then Kangaskhan. Some also believe that was how it was originally intended, and instead of deleting the Marowak-Kangaskhan code, they moved it to an empty slot, therefore creating 'M.
    • Two facts supporting this is that 'M has the same palette as Marowak and that it can evolve into Kangaskhan.
    • The supposed reason for not deleting 'M's data is because the game programers didn't have enough time to do so.
    • Marowak doesn't evolve into Kangaskhan supposedly because that would cause complications in the evolutionary line.
  • Cubone was originally going to be named "Orphon" in the Japanese games, anime, and manga.
  • Despite the skull it wears apparently being that of its mother's, not only will a female Marowak placed in a Day Care or Nursery to produce one still be alive when the Trainer returns, but Cubone appears to hatch already wearing the skull.
  • Cubone is the only mono-type Pokémon that evolves into a dual-type Pokémon in which its evolution and pre-evolution do not share any types. This only occurs in Alola, however, as Marowak is a Fire/Ghost-type Pokémon and does not retain the Ground type of Cubone like in other regions.

Origin[]

Cubone appears to be based on a bipedal dinosaur of some kind combined with a stereotypical caveman.

Etymology[]

Cubone is a portmanteau of "cute" or ''cub'' and "bone."

Karakara is the Japanese onomatopoeia for clattering.
