    • Dark Attacker:DarkFeint AttackDarkFoul Play

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

    Murkrow PvP Analysis

    Recommended moves

    • Great League:FlyingPeckFlyingDrill PeckDarkFoul Play

    🧸 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.

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
