Collector Insights

Cubone is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It features the Poké-Body ability "Lonely Bone," which reduces damage from opponent attacks by 20 for each Marowak in the player’s discard pile, after applying Weakness and Resistance. The card’s primary attack, "Bone Rush," requires two Colorless Energy and deals 20× damage based on the number of heads from a coin flip sequence. Cubone has a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy, making it relatively easy to deploy. It resists Lightning-type attacks by 20, while its Water-type weakness is multiplied by two. The card is part of the HeartGold & SoulSilver series, released as part of the HS—Triumphant set on November 3, 2010. Artist kawayoo designed the card, and its flavor text reflects a melancholic theme, describing the Pokémon’s skull trembling when it feels sadness or loneliness. Cubone’s design and mechanics align with its role in the series, emphasizing its connection to the Pokémon world.

If it is sad or lonely, the skull it wears shakes and emits a plaintive and mournful sound.
