'''Cubone''' is a bone-wielding Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation games. Its evolved form is [[Marowak]].

=Information=

Cubone is a Pokémon that wears the skull of its dead mother on its head. As it always wears the mask, its true face has never been seen. It is known to cry when it is lonesome and when it thinks of its dead mother, such as when it sees her likeness in the full moon, with its crying making the skull rattle hollowly. A Cubone's skull echoes through the skull and comes out as a sad melody.

It is said that Cubone lose their mothers after birth, although the cause of this is never elaborated upon. There is one instance within the first generation games where a Cubone at [[Mr. Fuji]]'s house had a mother, a Marowak, that was just recently killed by [[Team Rocket]], and its ghost resided in Pokémon Tower. As this Marowak was murdered after the Cubone was born, it raises some doubt as to whether female Cubone and Marowak die in childbirth. 

In addition to the skull which it dons, a Cubone also wields an unspecified bone as a club in combat. Cubone evolves into [[Marowak]] at Level 28.

=Trivia=

*Its name seems to be a combination of either cute (which would comment upon its appearance and young age), cub (which also would reflect that Cubone is young) or cue ball (which could refer to the way it uses its bone) with "bone".
