It evolves from Murkrow via Dusk Stone.

Biology

Physiology

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 fedora hat.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Like most fully evolved Pokémon it can use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact. It can wield the strong Template:Type2 move Sky Attack. Being a Template:Type2 Pokémon, it can use a few disruptive moves such as Taunt and Torment, and can also learn Dark Pulse.

Behavior

Honchkrow have been known to organize flocks of Murkrow. These flocks have been seen flying at night. The purpose of the flocks is unclear, but they are known to collect food for the Honchkrow that organized them. Honchkrow normally spend the daytime hours tending to their feathers in solitude.

Habitat

Honchkrow live in swamps, forests, human towns and cities, and plains.

Trivia

  • Honchkrow's Speed is lower then its pre-evolution's Speed, likely because it is plumper.
  • No other Pokémon besides its pre-evolution Murkrow has the same type combination as Honchkrow.

Origin

Honchkrow is based on of a crow. While it's pre-evolution Murkrow appears to be based on a witches of western folklore, Honchkrow's appearance is reminiscent of a Crime boss. Honchkrows crest resembles a wide-brimmed fedora hat, an article of clothing often associated with mobsters.

Name origin

Its name is a combination of "honcho", a leader or boss, and "crow".

Don is Spanish for lord and is a title for Mafia leaders, while 烏 karasu is Japanese for crow. Donkarasu literally means "Lord of crows".

In other languages

  • German: Kramshef - From Krähe (crow) and Chef (boss).
  • French: Corboss - From corbeau (crow) and boss.
  • Korean: 돈크로우 Donkeurou
  • Chinese: 暗鴉王 Ang Ya Wang
