Pokemon Go Alolan Marowak: Shiny, Raids, counters, and more

Cubone’s Alolan evolution is a different take on a classic, so learn how to add Alolan Marowak to your Pokemon Go collection – and some important details – with our full guide.

First introduced in Pokemon Sun & Moon, Pokemon Go Alolan Marowak is an interesting take on a Kantonian creature that dates all the way back to Pokemon Red & Blue. While the normal Marowak is simply the Ground type, Alolan Marowak instead is Fire and Ghost-type.

Alolan Marowak joined Pokemon Go in July 2018 and has a much darker body than its original form. It also has flames on either side of its bone boomerang, making it look much like a baton. Marowak throws its bone boomerang with a special move called – you guessed it – Bonemerang.
