Character info
The character
Honchkrow is the evolved form of Murkrow, a Dark-type Pokémon known for its commanding presence over flocks of crows; its nocturnal cry can summon over a hundred Murkrow followers. This Team Rocket variant depicts the Pokémon under the control of the criminal organization, reflecting a recurring theme in the Pokémon TCG where villainous teams commandeer Pokémon for their schemes.
This card
This is Team Rocket's Honchkrow, a Stage 1 Pokémon card from the MEGA Dream ex set (M2a), numbered 103 out of 193, printed in 2025 in Japanese. It is a common holo-rarity card illustrated by hncl, depicting Honchkrow perched indoors with a Team Rocket grunt's portrait shown in the corner, set against a dramatically lit, colorful background.
How it plays
This Darkness-type Pokémon has 130 HP and evolves from Team Rocket's Murkrow. Its first attack, Rocket Feather, costs two Colorless energy and deals 60 damage multiplied by the number of Supporter cards with 'Team Rocket' in their name discarded from the player's hand, with any number discarded. Its second attack, Buchikamasu, costs one Darkness and two Colorless energy and deals 100 damage. It has a weakness to Lightning-type attacks (×2), a resistance of -30 to Fighting-type attacks, and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy.
