[edit] Pokémon Information

[edit] Competitive Battling

Honchkrow finds itself in the Under-Utilized Tier of Competitive Battling. It has great offenses that are more than capable of sweeping, especially if it's using its Hidden Ability Moxie, which makes it even harder for Rock-and-Steel Types to counter than before, but it isn't very fast and the only thing going for it defensively is a relatively high HP statistic.
