Line 1,323:
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]
* [[Due to the Dead]]: Alolan Marowak are known to mourn their dead, and even give them proper funeral rites.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Cubone is weird in the sense that it's basically portrayed as a single character as opposed to a race of creatures due to its backstory of inheriting its dead mother's skull when she was killed by Team Rocket, which is only the case with one specific Cubone met all the way back in Gen 1. When Pokémon are given this treatment, it's because they're a ''legendary'' Pokémon which are often [[Single-Specimen Species]].
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: Victim of one in Generation 2, where a max attack Marowak that used Swords Dance would hit the damage cap and wrap around to very low damage. The most common solution was to run a lower attack and take advantage of it to use Hidden Power Bug.
* [[Lean and Mean]]: Alolan Marowak. Not that they're evil or genuinely mean, but they're definitely menacing.
Line 1,329:
** [[Stone Wall]]: ''Without'' a Thick Club, Marowak's attacks aren't especially strong, and are surpassed by its (still only middle-of-the-road) defensive stats.
** [[Glass Cannon]]: In competitive play, its very-low-for-a-defensive-Pokémon defense stats will not stop any Pokémon that is meant to attack from scoring a [[One-Hit Kill|one-hit KO]] on Marowak.
* [[Playing With Fire]]: Alolan Marowak,
* [[Revenge]]: Cubone evolve when they gain the resolve to avenge their dead mother. Once evolved, Alolan Marowak will also hunt down and kill Mandibuzz to avenge the Cubones they've killed and eaten.
* [[Signature Move]]: Bone Club and Bonemerang. Also Bone Rush in Gen II, but it's no longer exclusive to the family. Alolan Marowak gets its own signature move in the form of Shadow Bone, though thanks to [[Idiot Programming]] they can't use it without visiting the Move Relearner.
* [[Skeletons in the Coat Closet]]: Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother.
* [[Soul Power]]: Alolan Marowak, which are part Ghost.
* [[Stock Femur Bone]]: Depending on the Marowak wielding it, it's either a glorified billy club or a stick used by fire dancers.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: With the introduction of the Thick Club item, which doubles both Cubone and Marowak's Attack if held, putting them at having ''the'' highest Attack stat possible in the game, only trumped by Power Trick Shuckle (which isn't a reliable tactic anyway).
* [[The Woobie]]: Cubone because [[Memetic Mutation|his mother is DEAD!]]
* [[You Have Researched Breathing]]: Despite being their signature move, Alolan Marowak can't naturally learn Shadow Bone until you take them to the move relearner. The Totem Alolan Marowak you can get from Samson Oak in ''Ultra Sun'' thankfully comes with it, but it still begs the question of why Gamefreak didn't fix its level up movepool. Or move the Move Relearner to literally anywhere besides the end of [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|Mt. Lanakila.]]
* [[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Mother]]: Marowak is basically [[The Princess Bride|Inigo Montoya]] [[Recycled IN SPACE!|AS A POKÉMON!]]
