'''Marowak''', the Bone Keeper Pokémon, is encountered here as a restless spirit. Known for its fierce combat style and signature bone-wielding techniques, this Marowak utilizes its unique held item to reach offensive levels that far exceed expectations for its species.

== Boss Encounter: Marowak ==
This encounter represents the grieving spirit of a Marowak. Trainers must contend with its massive physical power while navigating its high-powered, multi-turn attacks.

Marowak relies on heavy-hitting physical moves and defensive-boosting attacks to dominate the field:
* '''[[Skull Bash]]'''
* '''[[Outrage]]'''
* '''[[Body Slam]]'''
* '''[[Earthquake]]'''

== Drop Table ==
Upon victory, Marowak may drop its rare signature item or various supplies used for training:

|-
| '''Pokéballs''' || Poké Ball, Dusk Ball, Great Ball
|}

== Battle Strategy ==
* '''Brute Force:''' Marowak’s primary threat is its held '''Thick Club''', which doubles its base Attack. Even at a lower level, its physical moves like '''Earthquake''' can devastate a team that isn't prepared for the sheer damage output.
* '''Dangerous Coverage:''' '''Outrage''' provides high-neutral damage against almost everything, though it will leave Marowak confused after 2-3 turns. '''Skull Bash''' increases its Defense on the first turn, making it even harder to take down physically before it strikes.
* '''Status Hazard:''' '''Body Slam''' has a significant chance to paralyze your team, making it difficult to outspeed and finish off the boss.
* '''Counterplay:''' Since this Marowak has heavy investment in Special Defense but less in Physical Defense (despite its EVs), strong Water or Grass-type physical moves can be effective. A Pokémon with the '''Levitate''' ability or a Flying-type is essential to avoid its powerful Earthquake.
