Feint Attack
Foul Play - Flying Attacker:
Peck
Drill Peck
With low Attack and Stamina stats, and an even lower Defense, Murkrow is not a viable PvE Pokémon in either raids or gyms. 🥲
PvP Analysis

- Great League:
Peck
Drill Peck
Foul 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.
