Team Rocket's Murkrow

Team Rocket's Murkrow has appeared in several sets: Destined Rivals (DRI 127) and Ascended Heroes (ASC 126). It is the same card every time — it plays the same, only the artwork and the price change. Here is what it does once it is on the table.

ITS ATTACKS

DeceitColorlessSearch your deck for a Supporter card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
Torment30Darkness + ColorlessChoose 1 of your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks. During your opponent's next turn, that Pokémon can't use that attack.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT

  • Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.
  • Team Rocket's Honchkrow runs it in 33 of the 33 lists we have read, seen across 31 different tournaments.
  • It is a Basic Pokémon. You can put it down on your very first turn, with nothing to evolve through.
  • Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR

  • Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,150 tournament lists we have read, 270 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
