Flavor Text

Sun They awaken at dusk and take wing in the twilight, leading to the expression, “Get home before the Murkrow fly.”
Moon Seen as a symbol of bad luck, it’s generally disliked. Yet it gives presents—objects that sparkle or shine—to Trainers it’s close to.
Ultra Sun It has a weakness for shiny things. It’s been known to sneak into the nests of Gabite—noted collectors of jewels—in search of treasure.
Ultra Moon It searches for shiny things for its boss. Murkrow’s presence is said to be unlucky, so many people detest it.
