Hello reader, i'm a new member to the Smogon forums. And to start off, i'm ghoing to analyze Honchkrow.

PROS​
  • Honchkrow has pretty good offensive stats, being 125 Attack and 105 Special attack
  • It also has base 100 HP which is not to shabby
  • It has access to STAB Sucker Punch, though the STAB kinda makes up for the move's nerf
CONS
  • Although it has good HP, its defenses don't make up for it. 100/53/53 is extremely frail, even more frail that Excadrill.
  • It only has base 71 speed, and has to rely on priority Sucker Punch and the occasional Scarf
  • Because of its low bulk, it is easily revenged killed by a lot of mons and easily crippled by faster threats.

Z MIRROR MOVE
Honchkrow@ Flynium Z
Moxie/ Super Luck
252 HP/252 ATK/4 SPD
Adamant nature
Sucker Punch
Brave Bird
Mirror Move
Pursuit

  • Sucker Punch is used to attack threats before they get to do so
  • Brave Bird is used on predictind set up, as after a Z Mirror Move it should probably OHKO if not resisted
  • Z Mirror Move is the move that this set revolves off. Even if you MM a move that doesn't OHKO, you can just use Sucker to get rid of the opponent, or its other moves if predicted correctly
  • Pursuit is used for predicting switch ins. So over all, this set relys on lots of prediction.
