(You can't use this attack if your Bench is full.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Resistance is Lightning -30. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The bone it holds is its key weapon. It throws the bone skillfully like a boomerang to K.O. targets."

I keep a set binder for Jungle, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Jungle set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Marowak can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
