It hides any shiny object it finds in a secret location. Murkrow and Meowth loot one another's stashes.

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!
