Honchkrow 15/90 · HS—Undaunted

Honchkrow is Pokédex #430, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Honchkrow is a Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Murkrow. In this catalog that name is Murkrow (#198).

Honchkrow sits at 15/90 in HS—Undaunted, position 15 of 91. Before it is 14 Hariyama, and after it is 16 Honchkrow. The set belongs to the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. It was released on August 18, 2010. The printed size is 90. This checklist is longer, at 91 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Whirlwind lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Your opponent switches the Defending Pokémon with 1 of his or her Benched Pokémon. Blindside is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Darkness, Darkness. Choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. This attack does 50 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It is merciless by nature. It is said that it never forgives the mistakes of its Murkrow followers."

Honchkrow (#430) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Honchkrow 10/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kazuyuki Kano illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 19 other cards of Honchkrow list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

HS—Undaunted set binder is where a full HS—Undaunted set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Honchkrow can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
