The Instagram artist that I commissioned is an_artist_astray.
This regional variant of the Murkrow line is based on Deputies, Sheriffs, The Wild West, and the American Crow (which sometimes have a dark brownish color). The tail feathers are also supposed to resemble guns, though they are mostly obscured in Honchkrow's images.
Let me know what you guys think of this regional variant! I hope you all enjoy it!
—————————————————————————————————————————
Wesonian Murkrow – The Lawful Bird Pokémon: (Fighting / Flying Type)
Murkrow developed this regional form after generations of adapting to the Weson Region's harsh frontier and working alongside lawmen. No longer feared as bringers of misfortune, they patrol the skies above towns, forests, and canyon roads. They still have a penchant for shiny objects but will fiercely swarm and attack any troublemaker that threatens people or wild Pokémon. In the Weson Region, a flock of Murkrow circling overhead is considered a reassuring sight.
Abilities:
- Keen Eye
- Super Luck
Hidden Ability:
- Defiant

Wesonian Honchkrow – The Big Boss Pokémon: (Fighting / Flying Type)
Known as the “Sheriff of the Skies,” Wesonian Honchkrow leads flocks of Murkrow with strict discipline, harshly scolding any underling that fails to follow its commands. It scours the area for troublemakers before dive-bombing them, delivering powerful blows with its wings and talons. Its legs are powerful enough to carry defeated troublemakers back to the lawmen it recognizes. If it crosses paths with a Sinnohan Honchkrow, both flocks will battle until one leader is forced to retreat.

I kinda thought they were like detectives so people wouldn’t think they’re bad
Imagine if the shiny was red instead of black, then i could nickname mine Texas Red
That’s a pretty neat idea, turning the mobster bird into a sheriff without really compromising the general aesthetic and shape
I adore this concept
This is an awesome concept
Dear Gamefreak, the people clearly yearn for a Western inspired region, please give us what we want
Instead of honchcrow, make it its own evolution to be able to call it Howdycrow, or Ponchcrow, (wearing a big poncho)
I like how these guys are Fighting instead of Dark, since they’re the good guys now. That’s a nice touch.
I like seeing Fighting type get represented by heroic mons. Why Hero Form Palafin, specifically, isn’t Fighting is beyond me.
I love this so much
Hey pal, I always had that ideia in my head that I should make a pokemon ttrpg, but I never liked the consistency of some designs but yours are great! Any chance I could use yours in my future camping? Like I wouldn’t post anything. Just some fun with my friends, let me know what you think! And thanks.
Wyatt Chirp and Bird Reeves are the first names to come to mind
I absolutely adore this concept!
I’m kinda sad the shinies aren’t just lil nas x
Very awesome design mate ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bro I love everything about your region’s Pokédex so far. Excellent regional variants!
The normal vs the shiny is basically Clint Eastwood vs. Lee Van Cleef.
Yep. This one’s on the team no matter what.
Perfect!
Love when the regional shiny references the original.
Works really well if we include the Battle Revolution animation where Honchcrow uses it’s wings like guns.
ACAB (all crows are bad)
This is so cool! I love the shiny being the “”normal”” colors. You’re a really talented artist and I love seeing your work! I only wish the honchkrow had a handlebar mustache, lol
I read the entire description in a texan accent
That’s a mighty fine pokemon, pardner 👍
This is absolutely amazing
Honchkrow’s name is so anti the concept, feels like it should’ve been a regional variant evolution like Clodsire
Genious. Amazing. Brilliant. Keep cooking.
