Honchkrow' is an imposing bird-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fourth generation games. It was introduced as a new evolved form for the second generation Pokémon Murkrow.

Information

Honchkrow evolves from a Murkrow that has been exposed to the Dusk Stone. Honchkrow become active at night and have been known to swarm with many Murkrow in tow. It can gather many Murkrow quickly with a single, deep cry, and because of this Honchkrow is also known as the "Summoner of the Night". They usually make Murkrow cronies bring them food while they lazily groom themselves in their nests. Honchkrow is also known for its merciless nature, and it is said that it never forgets the mistakes of a Murkrow follower.

Appearances

In most instances, Honckrow can only be obtained by evolving Murkrow. In Pokémon: Black Version, Honchkrow could be rarely found in rustling grass at the Abundant Shrine.

Other Appearances

In Other Media

• In the Pokémon anime, Honchkrow was first shown briefly belonging to one of the trainers in the tenth movie. Within the Sinnoh series, Paul's Murkrow eventually evolved into a Honchkrow shortly before his match with Maylene, which Honchkrow was instrumental in winning. It consistently defeated Ash's Grotle, but it came in second place at a PokéRinger competition after ultimately losing to Ash's Staraptor. He later left it with his brother Reggie.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Honchkrow was featured as one of Cyrus's Pokémon during the Diamond/Pearl arc. He used it often, although during his battle with Cynthia it fell quickly to her Spiritomb. During the HeartGold/SoulSilver chapter, Silver's own Murkrow evolved into a Honchkrow.

Trivia

• Its name is a combination of "honcho" (which is a word for "boss") with "crow".
