1 Identify 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.
2 Go to the bottom area of Wela Volcano Park. Go through the tall grass until you find a Cubone. Advertisement
3 Catch the Cubone. Nest Balls are a good ball to catch it with, since they work well on low-level Pokémon.
4 Make 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.
5 Have your Cubone gain experience. Since Cubone is a Ground-type Pokémon, the best Pokémon to face are Electric, Ground, Steel, and Rock-type Pokémon.
6 Keep leveling up your Cubone. When Cubone reaches level 28, it will evolve into Marowak.

Question My 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. Community Answer It is impossible to evolve Cubone into a Kanto one in Sun and Moon, but if you evolve Cubone into Marowak from another game like X and Y and transfer it over with Pokebank you can have a Kanto Marowak, but for Alolan level it up at night.

Tips
You can also use Rare Candies, if you have them, to level up. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0
If you don't want to battle with Cubone, you don't have to. You can switch to another Pokémon during a battle, which will get it full experience, or have the Exp. Share on so you don't have to put it into battle. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0
If Cubone successfully calls for an ally while you're trying to catch it, you'll have to defeat its ally Pokémon before you can throw Poké Balls. Be prepared for the potential of a battle taking a while, since this can happen multiple times in one battle. It can also call Kangaskhan in addition to other Cubone, which is the only way to find Kangaskhan. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0
