Is Honchkrow good for Diamond in-game?

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

Lets see the pros and cons of Honchkrow in-game.

With that being said, Honchkrow faces competition from other Flying types like Staraptor and Gyarados. Staraptor has better speed but slightly worse attack, and Gyarados is bulkier than both of them while sporting a decent speed stat. In the end, it’s up to you. Pretty much all Pokemon can work in-game, but Honchkrow is outclassed by Staraptor or Gyarados. However, it does have some things going for it like its unique dark typing that makes it useful against different gyms than the other two.

Of course, any Pokemon is good for in-game, but some of them are better when compared to others. Honchkrow in particular is outclassed by Staraptor and Gyarados.

Starly can be caught earlier and learns wing attack earlier, and Staraptor evolves earlier. Staraptor has a better ability and better base speed. Its STAB return has more power than Honchkrow’s STAB fly. Staraptor also learns close combat, which makes it significantly more useful against Byron and Bertha.

Magikarp is either useless for a long time or requires a good rod to catch at a higher level. This means Murkrow is more useful against Gardenia, but Gyarados still evolves earlier than Honchkrow. Gyarados also has a better ability and better base speed. Gyarados’s many different moves, like surf, waterfall, ice fang, earthquake, and dragon dance, make it more useful against Byron, Volkner, and Bertha.
