Appearances

Main Pokémon games

Marowak was killed by agents of Team Rocket, leaving a Cubone as an orphan. With the Silph Scope, her ghost could be seen in Pokémon Tower. Marowak cannot be caught in this battle, dodging all Poké Balls, even when incapacitated by status conditions like Sleep and Freeze. After fainting in a battle, a message will pop up saying that the Marowak's soul has finally moved on to the afterlife. In Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it is calmed by the presence of its son, Cubone.

Other Pokémon games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Marowak runs a training dojo the same way Makuhita had one in the first series.

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Marowak reappears in Super Mystery Dungeon, his dojo having crumbled and subsequently being put out of business. He is recruited once the player connects with Makuhita.

In the anime

Kiawe owns a Alolan Marowak, that he caught in A Crowning Moment of Truth!. It was often seen outside of its Poké Ball.

In Pokémon Origins, a Marowak was protecting her child Cubone from a group of Team Rocket Grunts, but was killed while doing so. Her spirit later haunted the Pokémon Tower, until she was reunited with her child and calmed down, thus allowing her to pass on to the afterlife.
