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.

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.
  • Because of it's presense in the new opening High Touch!, instead of Electabuzz, which is Paul's main battler, it is safe to assume Honchkrow is Paul's new main battler. Either that, or it's just mere coincidence.
