Honchkrow is Pokédex #430, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Honchkrow is a Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Murkrow. In this catalog that name is Murkrow (#198).

Honchkrow sits at 52/119 in Phantom Forces, position 53 of 124. Before it is 51 Murkrow, and after it is 53 Poochyena. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on November 5, 2014. The printed size is 119. This checklist is longer, at 124 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Hypnoblast lists 20 damage. The cost is Darkness. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Asleep. Nightmare Mambo is another attack lists 60+ damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless, Colorless. If your opponent's Active Pokémon is Asleep, this attack does 60 more damage. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "If one utters a deep cry, many Murkrow gather quickly. For this, it is called "Summoner of Night.""

Honchkrow (#430) has 22 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 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). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kazuyuki Kano illustrated that card, and Hajime Kusajima illustrated this one. 22 other cards of Honchkrow list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hajime Kusajima. I count 206 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Phantom Forces set binder is where a full Phantom Forces 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.
