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. 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.

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.
