Mukuhawk (ムクホーク Mukuhōku?, Mukuhawk in original Japanese language versions) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Mukuhawk in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2]
Its name is a portmanteau of the Japanese word for the white-cheeked starling (椋鳥 mukudori?), and the English word hawk.

Biological characteristics
Mukuhawk resembles a cross between a large gray and white starling and a hawk. Its most prominent feature is its long downward crest. It has a sharper-shaped head and more robust build than its predecessors. The circle on a Mukuhawk's forehead is smaller in females of the species.
In the video games
In the video games, Mukuhawk has fantastic Attack and Speed stats (higher than Dodrio's), thus making it a very promising physical attacker. The ability Intimidate furthers its usefulness by lowering physical-attacking opponents' offensive strength.
Mukuhawk evolves from Mukubird at level 34.
In the anime
Mukuhawk has made minor appearances in the anime since the first episode of Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl, in which it belongs to Professor Rowan.
