'''Honchkrow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドンカラス''' ''Dongkarasu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Murkrow}} via {{evostone|Dusk Stone}}.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Murkrow}} when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]].


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Honchkrow is a dark-blue avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with plumage resembling a person dressed in formal attire, one that most resembles a mob boss. It has a large feather crest resembling a {{wp|Fedora|fedora hat}} that has spikes extending from the back. It has circular red eyes with white sclerae and dark blue eyelids. Its yellow beak is slightly curved, and its head is supported by a broad, short neck. Honchkrow has a white and prominent crest of feathers on its chest that bears resemblance to a beard or cravat. Its wings have red feathers on the inside. Honchkrow has black feet with four toes. The tail's base is a white, cylindrical stalk, on which there is a growth of red feathers on the end.
Honchkrow is a black bird Pokémon roughly twice the size of its pre-evolution, Murkrow. Honchkrow has red tail feathers and the underside of its wings are partially red. Honchkrow has a feathery collar that resembles a long white beard. Honchkrow has a straight, yellow beak, circular eyes with red pupils, and a feather crest that resembles a [[wp:Fedora (hat)|fedora hat]].


====Gender differences====
Honchkrow is known to be ruthless. With a mere cry, it can summon and organize a murder of more than one hundred {{p|Murkrow}} to collect food for it. Honchkrow also summons Murkrow to fight on its behalf, letting them do most of the fighting before it deals the finishing blow. The flocks of summoned Murkrow often plunge the sky into pitch-black darkness, giving Honchkrow the moniker, "Summoner of Night." Honchkrow will never forgive any failure or betrayal of the Murkrow that follow it, and it will hunt and punish any member of its flock that does so. Honchkrow is more active at night, and normally spends the daytime hours tending to its feathers in solitude. It is a scavenger that lives in swamps, forests, human towns and cities, and plains.
None.


====Special abilities====
===Evolution===
Honchkrow evolves from {{p|Murkrow}}.


Like most fully evolved Pokémon it can use {{M|Hyper Beam}} and {{M|Giga Impact}}.  It can wield the strong {{type2|Flying}} move {{M|Sky Attack}}. Being a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon, it can use a few disruptive moves such as {{M|Taunt}} and {{M|Torment}}, and can also learn {{M|Dark Pulse}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Quillon Honchkrow.png|thumb|250px|Honchkrow in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Paul's Honchkrow]]====
Honchkrow made its main series debut in a flashback in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', where it was revealed that [[Paul]]'s Murkrow had evolved into one. Honchkrow made its physical debut in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', where it battled {{AP|Turtwig}}.
 
====Other====
Multiple Honchkrow appeared in ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', where at least one them was part of the {{OBP|Pirate|BW135}}'s crew of Pokémon. Many of the Big Boss Pokémon later appeared on the {{OBP|Deserted Island|BW135}} with the treasure. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} went to the island, the Honchkrow were the first Pokémon the group saw.
 
In ''[[JN134|In the Palms of our Hands!]]'', [[Quillon]]'s Honchkrow was used to battle against {{an|Mew}} but was defeated.
 
===Minor appearances===
Honchkrow debuted in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named [[Allegra]]. It was sent out to try and clear away the [[fog]] surrounding [[Alamos Town]] with {{m|Defog}}. However, the move didn't work due to the fog being a by-product of {{mov|Palkia}}'s control over the space in the area.
 
A Honchkrow appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.
 
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', [[Evolution|Cilan's demonstration]] featured a Honchkrow evolving from a Murkrow.
 
In ''[[XY077|A Relay in the Sky!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Honchkrow competed in the [[Pokémon Sky Relay]]. It was in a team also consisting of {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Emolga}}.
 
In ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'', a {{pkmn|Performer}}'s Honchkrow competed in the {{ci|Fleurrh}} {{pkmn|Showcase}}. In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'', it competed in the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Honchkrow's {{stat|Speed}} is lower then {{p|Murkrow|its pre-evolution}}'s Speed.
* Honchkrow can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Mismagius}}. Both are {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} that evolve when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]] and have pre-evolved forms that were introduced in [[Generation II]]. Honchkrow is exclusive to {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond|s}}, {{game3|Black and White|Black|s}}, and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond}}, while {{p|Mismagius}} is exclusive to Pearl, White, and Shining Pearl.
* No other Pokémon besides its pre-evolution {{p|Murkrow}} has the same type combination as Honchkrow.
 
===Origin===
===Origin===
Honchkrow is based on of a {{wp|crow}}. While it's pre-evolution Murkrow appears to be based on a witches of western folklore, Honchkrow's appearance is reminiscent of a {{wp|Crime boss|Crime boss}}. Honchkrows crest resembles a wide-brimmed fedora hat, an article of clothing often associated with mobsters.
Honchkrow is based on a {{wp|crow}} or {{wp|raven}}. With its bulkier, more powerful appearance, Honchkrow looks much more like a raven than its pre-evolved form does, but its coloration resembles that of the {{wp|hooded crow}}. While Murkrow appears to be based on witches of western folklore, Honchkrow's appearance is reminiscent of a {{wp|crime boss}}, giving a new interpretation to Murkrow as a gang member under Honchkrow. Its crest even looks like a wide-brimmed {{wp|fedora}} hat, an article of clothing often associated with mobsters. However, Honchkrow's tail does resemble a {{wp|besom}} broom, which has long been connected with witchcraft, and its hat- and beard-like feathers also give the impression of a sorcerer or wizard.  It may also be inspired by witches' {{wp|familiar}}s, which often can be crows or ravens. Therefore the group of Murkrow which act as goons to Honchcrow could also be a reference to a {{wp|coven}} or a {{wp|magical organization}}, thus making Honchkrow a reference to coven leaders. The design of Honchkrow's hat could also take inspiration from the hardened crests likened to that of the {{wp|great hornbill}} and the {{wp|cassowary}}.

Honchkrow (Japanese: ドンカラス Dongkarasu) is a dual-type Dark/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Murkrow when exposed to a Dusk Stone.

Biology

Honchkrow is a dark-blue avian Pokémon with plumage resembling a person dressed in formal attire, one that most resembles a mob boss. It has a large feather crest resembling a fedora hat that has spikes extending from the back. It has circular red eyes with white sclerae and dark blue eyelids. Its yellow beak is slightly curved, and its head is supported by a broad, short neck. Honchkrow has a white and prominent crest of feathers on its chest that bears resemblance to a beard or cravat. Its wings have red feathers on the inside. Honchkrow has black feet with four toes. The tail's base is a white, cylindrical stalk, on which there is a growth of red feathers on the end.

Honchkrow is known to be ruthless. With a mere cry, it can summon and organize a murder of more than one hundred Murkrow to collect food for it. Honchkrow also summons Murkrow to fight on its behalf, letting them do most of the fighting before it deals the finishing blow. The flocks of summoned Murkrow often plunge the sky into pitch-black darkness, giving Honchkrow the moniker, "Summoner of Night." Honchkrow will never forgive any failure or betrayal of the Murkrow that follow it, and it will hunt and punish any member of its flock that does so. Honchkrow is more active at night, and normally spends the daytime hours tending to its feathers in solitude. It is a scavenger that lives in swamps, forests, human towns and cities, and plains.

Evolution

Honchkrow evolves from Murkrow.

Minor appearances

Honchkrow debuted in The Rise of Darkrai, under the ownership of a Coordinator named Allegra. It was sent out to try and clear away the fog surrounding Alamos Town with Defog. However, the move didn't work due to the fog being a by-product of Palkia's control over the space in the area.

A Honchkrow appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Trivia

Origin

Honchkrow is based on a crow or raven. With its bulkier, more powerful appearance, Honchkrow looks much more like a raven than its pre-evolved form does, but its coloration resembles that of the hooded crow. While Murkrow appears to be based on witches of western folklore, Honchkrow's appearance is reminiscent of a crime boss, giving a new interpretation to Murkrow as a gang member under Honchkrow. Its crest even looks like a wide-brimmed fedora hat, an article of clothing often associated with mobsters. However, Honchkrow's tail does resemble a besom broom, which has long been connected with witchcraft, and its hat- and beard-like feathers also give the impression of a sorcerer or wizard. It may also be inspired by witches' familiars, which often can be crows or ravens. Therefore the group of Murkrow which act as goons to Honchcrow could also be a reference to a coven or a magical organization, thus making Honchkrow a reference to coven leaders. The design of Honchkrow's hat could also take inspiration from the hardened crests likened to that of the great hornbill and the cassowary.

Name origin

Honchkrow may be a combination of honcho (boss) and crow.

Dongkarasu may be a combination of don (mafia boss) and 烏 karasu (crow).
