Marowak is Pokédex #105, generation 1 (Kanto). Alolan Marowak-GX is a Stage 1 GX Fire Pokémon with 200 HP. The card says it evolves from Cubone. In this catalog that name is Cubone (#104).

Alolan Marowak-GX sits at SM187/248 in SM Black Star Promos, position 190 of 251. Before it is SM186 Flareon, and after it is SM188 Kangaskhan-GX. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on 3 February 2017. The printed size is 248. This checklist is longer, at 251 cards. The listed rarity is Promo.

Cursed Body is listed as Ability. If this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and is damaged by an opponent's attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Confused. The attack Fiery Bone lists 90 damage. The cost is Fire, Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Burned. Lost Boomerang-GX is another attack lists no damage number. This attack does 50 damage to 2 of your opponent's Pokémon. This damage isn't affected by Weakness or Resistance. If a Pokémon is Knocked Out by this damage, put that Pokémon and all cards attached to it in the Lost Zone instead of the discard pile. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) Weakness is Water ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The card text says: Pokémon-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Marowak (#105) has 21 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Marowak 39/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Marowak, while this one is Alolan Marowak-GX. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 200 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Promo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 21 other cards of Marowak list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

SM Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SM Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. 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 Alolan forms. I still need this card.
