Cubone (), known in Japan as , is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue, it has appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise. It has been considered one of the saddest and most disturbing Pokémon in the series, with its concept being that it is wearing the skull of its dead mother. This story first appeared in Red and Blue and has been redone in other works, such as the Pokémon Origins anime. It has also been the subject of creepypastas and theories, most notably a theory that Cubone is the baby of the Pokémon Kangaskhan after its mother died. It served as the inspiration for the Skull Crawler creature in the film Kong: Skull Island.
==Conception and development== Cubone is one of a species of fictional creatures called Pokémon created for the Pokémon media franchise. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, the Japanese franchise began in 1996 with the video games Pokémon Red and Green for the Game Boy, which were later released in North America as Pokémon Red and Blue in 1998. In these games and their sequels, the player assumes the role of a Trainer whose goal is to capture and use the creatures' special abilities to combat other Pokémon. Some Pokémon can transform into stronger species through a process called evolution. This can occur via various means, such as gaining experience points or exposure to specific items. Each Pokémon has one or two elemental types, which define its advantages and disadvantages when battling other Pokémon. A major goal in each game is to complete the Pokédex, a comprehensive Pokémon encyclopedia, by capturing, evolving, and trading with other Trainers to obtain individuals of all Pokémon species.
