In Pokémon Sun and Moon, Cubone caught in Alola evolve into the new Alolan-form Marowak, which is Fire/Ghost-type instead of the Ground-type normal Marowak are. This article will explain how to evolve it.
Steps
-
1Identify where Cubone can be found. It can be found in the bottom area of Wela Volcano Park. You have a 24% chance of finding one at any time of day. It'll be between level 16 and 19.

2Go to the bottom area of Wela Volcano Park. Go through the tall grass until you find a Cubone.Advertisement

3Catch the Cubone. Nest Balls are a good ball to catch it with, since they work well on low-level Pokémon.
-
4Make sure you're playing when it's nighttime in-game. Cubone caught in Alola will only evolve during the nighttime. In Pokémon Sun, the in-game clock matches your console's clock, while in Pokémon Moon, the in-game clock is 12 hours ahead of your console's clock. So if you have Pokémon Moon, make sure you're playing during the daytime, not the nighttime.
-
5Have your Cubone gain experience. Since Cubone is a Ground-type Pokémon, the best Pokémon to face are Electric, Ground, Steel, and Rock-type Pokémon.
-
6Keep leveling up your Cubone. When Cubone reaches level 28, it will evolve into Marowak.Advertisement

QuestionMy Cubone is level 35 and it's not evolving (and it's not holding an everstone), why is this? Is it because it's not nighttime? I don't want it to evolve into an Alola form Marowak, though.
