Alright, folks, let’s talk about this cool bird, Honchkrow, I’ve been messing around with in my game. First off, I gotta say, getting this guy was a bit of a journey. I started with a Murkrow, which is like the pre-evolution of Honchkrow, and let me tell you, finding a Dusk Stone to evolve it wasn’t a walk in the park. But once I did, boom! Honchkrow was in my party, and it was totally worth it.
Now, I experimented with a bunch of moves, trying to figure out what works best. This bird’s got some serious potential, both for hitting hard and for being a bit sneaky with support moves. I played around with both physical and special attacks, since Honchkrow’s pretty good at both. And those immunities to Ground and Psychic? Super handy, trust me. I also tried out Super Luck and Insomnia, which were both pretty cool abilities that help in different situations.
Here is the part that I want to share:
- Snarl: I started using this move because it’s a Dark-type move, and it lowers the opponent’s Special Attack. Pretty neat for messing with those special attackers.
- Sky Attack: Now, this one’s a Flying-type move, and it hits like a truck. It takes a turn to charge, but when it hits, it hits hard.
I tested these moves out in a bunch of battles. In some, I went all-in on offense. In others, I used moves like Substitute and Thunder Wave to play a bit more defensively, which worked out surprisingly well with my Honchkrow.
My Discovery
I found out that Honchkrow is weak to Electric, Fairy, Ice, and Rock-type moves. So, I had to be careful when facing those types. But the good thing is, it takes less damage from Dark, Ghost, Grass, and Ground-type moves, which was a lifesaver in many battles.
After a lot of trial and error, I realized that the combination of Snarl and Sky Attack was the sweet spot. I saw that some folks online were saying it has the best damage per second, and I totally get why. When these moves were boosted by Fog and Windy weather, it was game over for the other team.
I even tried it out in some double battles, just for kicks. Turns out, Honchkrow’s pretty good in those too. I saw some guides online for competitive play, like the VGC, and it got me thinking about trying that out someday.
So, that’s my story with Honchkrow. It’s been a fun ride figuring out how to use this Pok�mon. It is not all about the damage, but how you use it. If any of you have your own Honchkrow stories or tips, I’d love to hear them!
