      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      With low Attack and Stamina stats, and an even lower Defense, Murkrow is not a viable PvE Pokémon in either raids or gyms. 🥲

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup

      Murkrow’s Dark-type moves ensure victories against key threats like Bronzor, Greavard, and Shadow Golett, but beyond these few wins, it struggles against most of the meta. 😕

      Honestly, Deino and Vullaby are the Dark-types you should use in Little Cup, and for Flying-types, Ducklett or Golbat are much better choices. Murkrow is just an inferior option. 😭

      🔵 Great League

      Murkrow barely finds any wins, and there’s no reason to use it in Great League battles. 👎

      🟡 Ultra League & 🟣 Master League

      Murkrow gets completely destroyed in both Ultra League and Master League. 😶

      💥 The best moves for Murkrow in PvP are:
      Feint Attack, Foul Play, and Drill Peck.
