Honchkrow · Phantasmal Flames, what to know.
About the Honchkrow card
Numbered 58 of 130 in Phantasmal Flames, released in January 2026, Honchkrow is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Darkness-type carrying 130 HP.
It evolves from Murkrow, so Honchkrow is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Honchkrow carries this Pokédex flavor text: "It is merciless by nature. It is said that it never forgives the mistakes of its Murkrow followers."
What is Honchkrow worth?
Honchkrow is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Honchkrow before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Honchkrow grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Honchkrow
Raw copies of Honchkrow are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Honchkrow is the practical move.
