Q&A

Water (×2), Grass (×2), Ice (×2). Resists Poison, Rock, immune to Electric. Calculated from the gen 3 type chart (FireRed/LeafGreen).

Cubone evolves into Marowak starting at level 28..

Locations: Victory Road (5 %, Lv 44–46), Victory Road (5 %, Lv 46–48), Victory Road (5 %, Lv 44–46). That's all. Marowak is limited to these spots in FR/LG. See the interactive maps for the full area view.

Our take: Yes. Marowak delivers Ground coverage against Electric and Poison teams; with the (rare) Thick Club it becomes a monster. Solid, if unspectacular.
