07Why Collectors Want It

Marowak — the Bone Keeper Pokemon and final evolution of Cubone, a Kanto-original Ground-type with deep editorial resonance.
Promo-only distribution makes supply meaningfully tighter than mass-retail cards.
Required for any complete Marowak master set across eras.
Collectors of the SM Black Star Promos set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: Niche

Stage 1 GX Marowak with 200 HP; top attack near 90 damage — playable in casual or rogue lists, not a competitive staple.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Ability: Cursed Body

If this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Confused.

Fiery Bone Cost: Fire + Colorless + Colorless · 90 damage

Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Burned.

Lost Boomerang-GX Cost:

This attack does 50 damage to 2 of your opponent's Pokémon. This damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. If a Pokémon is Knocked Out by this damage, put that Pokémon and all cards attached to it in the Lost Zone instead of the discard pile. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

Weakness: Water ×2
Retreat cost: 2

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.
