Collector Insights

Marowak is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It possesses two attacks: Bonemerang, which requires two Fighting energy to deal 30× damage by flipping two coins and adding damage for each head, and Call for Friend, a three-energy attack that searches the deck for a Fighting Basic Pokémon to place on the Bench. The card resists Lightning-type attacks by 30 damage but is weak to Grass-type attacks, taking double damage. Artist Mitsuhiro Arita designed the card, and its flavor text highlights the bone as a weapon used to skillfully strike opponents. Marowak is part of the Base Set 2, released in February 2000, and is classified as Uncommon rarity. The card’s theme color is a warm gold, reflecting its Fighting-type identity. It does not include any abilities beyond its listed attacks and retreat cost.

The bone it holds is its key weapon. It throws the bone skillfully like a boomerang to K.O. targets.
