Strategy & play
How Honchkrow V plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Fearsome Shadow) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 130 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Darkness type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥100 effectively one-shots it.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
How to beat Honchkrow V
- Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥100 damage one-shots it.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Honchkrow V is real?
Honchkrow V is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
