07Why Collectors Want It

Marowak — the Bone Keeper Pokemon and final evolution of Cubone, a Kanto-original Ground-type with deep editorial resonance.
Required for any complete Marowak master set across eras.
Collectors of the FireRed & LeafGreen set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Marowak with 80 HP; top attack around 30 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Linear Attack Cost: Fighting + Colorless

Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Vengeance Cost: Fighting + Colorless + Colorless · 30+ damage

Does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Basic Pokémon and each Evolution card in your discard pile. You can't add more than 60 damage in this way.

Weakness: Grass ×2
Retreat cost: 1

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
