This Pokémon wears the skull of its deceased mother. Sometimes Cubone’s dreams make it cry, but each tear Cubone sheds makes it stronger.
When the memory of its departed mother brings it to tears, its cries echo mournfully within the skull it wears on its head.
It wears its mother’s skull on its head, so no one knows what its bare face looks like. However, it’s clear that it’s always crying.
At night, it weeps loudly for its dead mother, but those cries only attract its natural enemy—Mandibuzz.
The skull it wears on its head is that of its dead mother. According to some, it will evolve when it comes to terms with the pain of her death.
When it thinks of its deceased mother, it weeps loudly. Mandibuzz that hear its cries will attack it from the air.
