What it does
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.
Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Burned.
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.)
Pokémon-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Where it came from
The Alolan Marowak-GX card, designated SM187, was released as part of the Sun & Moon Black Star Promos series in 2018. It was distributed primarily through the Alolan Marowak-GX Box, a retail product designed to capitalize on the popularity of the Alolan regional variant introduced in the seventh generation of Pokémon games. This specific card reimagines the Ghost/Fire-type Pokémon, reflecting its transition from the ground-based iteration found in previous generations to the spectral warrior seen in the Alola region.
The illustration is credited to 5ban Graphics, a prolific studio known for producing 3D-rendered, high-gloss artwork for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Their design aesthetic focuses on dramatic lighting and metallic textures to emphasize the 'GX' card mechanic, which was a hallmark of the Sun & Moon era. The card was received by the community as a functional addition to Fire-type decks of the time, noted for its 'Alolan Fire Spin' attack and its distinctive aesthetic shift from the traditional Marowak design.
