As a Murkrow

It first appeared in the first Diamond and Pearl introduction, Together. However, its first official appearance was in Top-Down Training, where Paul used it in battle against Cynthia and her Garchomp. However, the Template:Type2 Pokémon lost.

It evolved off-screen between Riding the Winds of Change! and Lost Leader Strategy!. It battled against Maylene in a flashback, easily defeating her Meditite and her Machoke.

It will appear again in DP100, where it will battle Ash's Turtwig. The battle causes Turtwig to evolve into Grotle.

Moves used

• Haze
• Sky Attack
• Shadow Ball
• Dark Pulse

Trivia

• As Murkrow was featured in the opening for 37 weeks before its actual debut, there was a common misconception that Murkrow was received in a trade with the boy that Paul gave his Azumarill to in A Gruff Act to Follow. In fact, Murkow was caught normally at some point during Paul's journey through Kanto, Johto and Hoenn.
• The evolution of Honchkrow makes it the third Pokémon to appear after a movie that is owned by a rival. The first two were Drew's Flygon and Absol after the sixth movie.
• Honchkrow is the only dual-type Pokémon currently owned by Paul to not have a double weakness to a certain type, as Torterra and Gliscor have a double weakness to Ice-type moves, while Weavile has a double weakness to Fighting-type moves.
