Strategy Using Murkrow

Murkrow has been given some of the worst stats defense wise. However its speed and attack strengths allows it to work well as both a physical sweeper and special sweeper(although the special sweeper is a little risky).
Baton passing Speed and attack from Ninjask would benefit this pokemon and would make it quite a decent pokemon. The EV's are to boost Murkrow's attack and Speed.
The nature, Jolly, helps promote Murkrow's speed while hindering the stat it isn't using, special attack.
Drill peck gains STAB due to being a part flying type. It also loses its weakness to fighting types. However, its chances of surviving most strong physical/special attacks are low.
Use confuse ray against your opponent so if it gives the chance of hitting itself, and gives you time to attack too. Shadow ball and HP fighting to cover some more types. If you wish, replace HP fighting with HP rock.
Murkrow as a pokemon isn't the best defense wise, but with boosts from baton passers it could be considered powerful.

EV Corner:

Max out the EVs in Speed & Attack for Murkrow with any remaining in HP
