Pokemon Scarlet & Violet bring back a lot of returning Pokemon from past Generations, including the two Dark/Flying-types Murkrow and Honchkrow. Here’s how trainers can find them in Generation 9.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have a Pokedex with 400 Pokemon for trainers to find and collect throughout their journey in the Paldea region.

While Generation 9 introduced plenty of new Pokemon to the series, much of the Pokedex is made up of creatures from past Generations, like Gold & Silver or Diamond & Pearl.

How to evolve Murkrow in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Just like in Generation 4, Murkrow will evolve into Honchkrow when it is exposed to a Dusk Stone. Unfortunately, the Dusk Stone is one of the rarer evolution stones to get as it cannot be bought at the Delibird Presents shop.

However, there are a few ways to get one. Trainers can sometimes find Dusk Stones available at the Port Marinada auction. Additionally, trainers can find them randomly in Alfornada Cavern, Area Zero, and Dalizapa Passage.
