Strategy & play

How Honchkrow plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Speed Dive) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
  • Needs Darkness Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Darkness type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥55 effectively one-shots it.
  • A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
  • A Stage 1 — one step up from Murkrow; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.

How to beat Honchkrow

  • Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥55 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Honchkrow is real?

Honchkrow 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.
