Okay so, much as I love Honchkrows, I love Murkrows more. Honchkrow has never really suited my battle-style, due to his speed. Thus, I'm thinking of training a Murkrow and keeping it as a Murkrow.
Murkrow @ Focus Sash
Hasty Nature
Insomnia
IVs: HP 27, A 3, D 26, SA 30, SD 26, S 30
EVs: Unsure, mostly special attack and speed
~ Dark Pulse
~ Icy Wind
~ Heat Wave
~ Sucker Punch
I'm set on a mixed attacker, mostly special, so this is what I came up with. Not much different from my Honchkrow, though obviously lacks Superpower due to Murkrow not being able to be taught it. Dark Pulse for STAB, Icy wind for Dragons and other flying types. Heat Wave for coverage. Sucker Punch is my physical move in place of Superpower, plus it may enable Murkrow to live longer. I assume people will see Murkrow, think "Mwahaha, one hit and it's dead", so Sucker Punch seems like the best option. Focus sash to survive the inevitable K.O
Oh yeah, she has Hidden Power Fighting.
She'd be on a team consisting of Manectric, Flygon, Floatzel, Miltank and Sceptile. A battle with El proved just how weak by team is to ice moves... although I'm not sure what can be done about that. Other Pokemon I like also tend to be weak against ice
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. I'd be willing to re-breed the Murkrow for a better nature/egg moves. If a Physical Murky would work far better then I'd be open to that too. Thankies ^^
