How to get Murkrow in Pokemon Shining Pearl
Murkrow and it’s evolved form Honchkrow are both Pokemon Brilliant Diamond exclusives, so the only way to get them in Pokemon Shining Pearl is to trade.

- Trade with a friend who has Pokemon Brilliant Diamond over Wi-Fi.

How to evolve Murkrow into Honchkrow
Murkrow doesn’t evolve through leveling like most Pokemon, instead, it can only evolve into Honchkrow through the use of a Dusk Stone.
You can use a Dusk Stone to evolve Murkrow at any level, however, be aware that once it evolves it loses the ability to learn Murkrow’s moves. The good news is it will still learn moves as Honchkrow, but it will now take on that Pokemon’s move map, replacing Murkrow’s.
Therefore, make sure Murkrow has learned all the moves you want it to learn before evolving it into Honchkrow. Although, you’ll likely replace some of these as Honchkrow levels.
