==Appearances== Cubone first appears in the games [[Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'']]. In the games, it inhabits the Pokémon Tower area, a gravesite for Pokémon.<ref name=":3" /> Cubone can be evolved into Marowak once it attains a high enough level.<ref name=":2" /> In-game, a Marowak is stated to have died while protecting its child from the villainous organization [[Team Rocket]], and it subsequently haunts the Tower. The player can defeat it in battle to put its soul at rest, allowing the player to progress up the Tower.<ref name=":3" /> In the remakes of ''Red'' and ''Blue'', [[Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|''Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!'' and ''Let's Go, Eevee!'']], Cubone's backstory is changed slightly. It retains the same story, adding scenes of Cubone being kidnapped by Team Rocket, rescued by the protagonist, and going to Pokémon Tower, where it gains closure by seeing its mother's spirit as it ascends to the afterlife. Cubone is then taken by the protagonist's rival, Trace, who offers to raise it. It eventually becomes a part of his team, evolving into a Marowak.<ref name="BD">{{cite web |url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3535720/end-year-pokemon-lets-go-tames-horror-lavender-town/ |title=[Best of 2018] How 'Pokemon Let's Go' Tames the Horror of Lavender Town |work=Bloody Disgusting |last=Maher |first=Cian |date=December 29, 2018 |accessdate=September 30, 2024}}</ref> Cubone appears in subsequent entries in the series, including [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Silver'']], ''[[Pokémon Crystal]]'',<ref name=":4" /> and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Shield'']].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ramey |first=Jessica |date=2020-07-03 |title=Pokemon Sword And Shield: How To Find And Evolve Cubone |url=https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-sword-and-shield-cubone-location-evolve/ |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=TheGamer |language=en}}</ref> In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'']], Cubone evolved in the game's main location of Alola can evolve into Alolan form Marowak, which have different typings and design in comparison to regular Marowak, being Fire and Ghost instead of Ground.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Foot |first=Casey |date=2022-10-04 |title=Every Pokemon That Only Evolves At Night |url=https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-that-evolve-at-night/ |access-date=2024-10-01 |website=TheGamer |language=en}}</ref> Cubone appears in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'' series.
