Honchkrow evolution

Pokémon GO has no evolution levels: a Pokémon evolves when you spend Candy on it (sometimes with an item or a task), at any level.

Honchkrow evolves from Murkrow for 100 Murkrow Candy and a Sinnoh Stone.

Honchkrow is the last stage of its family: it does not evolve further.

Family: Murkrow · Honchkrow
