Paul's Honchkrow (Japanese: シンジのドンカラス Shinji's Dongkarasu) is a Pokémon owned by Paul.

History

As a Murkrow

Although it first appeared in the first Diamond and Pearl opening, Together and Diamond and Pearl, its first official appearance was in Top-Down Training!, where Paul used it in battle against Cynthia's 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 appeared again in Aiding the Enemy!, where it battled Ash's Turtwig. Even though Turtwig evolved to Grotle, Honchkrow was still able to win the match.

It appeared again in Pursuing a Lofty Goal! where Paul entered it in a PokéRinger competition in which after making it to the final round, lost to Ash's Staraptor after it evolved from Staravia.

It was used to battle Ash in Pedal to the Mettle!, where it defeated Grotle again before being recalled.

It appeared again in Battling a Thaw in Relations! at Reggie's house, along with Paul's Torterra, Ursaring and Weavile, they were all unhappy to find out Paul had lost.

Trivia

• As Murkrow was featured in the opening Together 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, Murkrow was caught normally at some point during Paul's journey through Kanto, Johto and Hoenn.
• The evolution of Honchkrow makes it the fourth Pokémon to appear after a movie that is owned by a rival. The first three were Drew's Flygon and Absol after the sixth movie and Honchkrow's comrade, Weavile after the eighth movie. Interestingly, three out of four are of the Template:Type2.
• Honchkrow is the first dual-type Pokémon owned by Paul to not have a double weakness to a certain type, as Torterra and Gliscor have a double weakness to Template:Type2 moves, Weavile has a double weakness to Template:Type2 moves, Aggron has double weakness to Fighting-type and Template:Type2 moves, Ninjask has a double weakness to Template:Type2 moves, and Gastrodon has a double weakness to Template:Type2 moves.
• Two of Ash's Pokémon evolved while battling Honchkrow: Turtwig and Staravia.
• Honchkrow is the fourth Pokémon owned by Paul to be voiced by Bill Rogers, the other three being Chimchar, Magmortar and Weavile.
