From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Paul's Honchkrow (Japanese: シンジのドンカラス Shinji's Donkarasu) is a Pokémon owned by Paul. As a Murkrow, it is voiced by 西村ちなみ Chinami Nishimura in Japanese. In English, it was voiced by Jerry Lobozzo using Template:4Kids' stock footage.
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. It was also revealed that it was caught during Paul's journey through Kanto, Johto and Hoenn.
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.

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.
