Murkrow a great team member for farming held items! It learns Thief naturally at level 25, which is waaaay before you can get the TM in Mahogany Town. That plus Super Luck which boosts wild item rates already (60% common, 20% rare)... That's pretty useful for farming items!
Prevents it from falling asleep.
Boosts the rate of critical hits.
Gives priority to a status move.
Note, you can always call Professor Elm with the Pokemon you are trying to evolve as first in your party. If the information on this page seems incorrect, please try calling Elm (and preferably let me know too!!)
