rewriting my ask. a friend of mine izzz thinking about getting a murkrow, but i know that they collect shiny thingzzz. i juzzzt want to know if it would try and steal something like, say, a shiny red plazzztic device or something along thozzze lines. juzzzt asking for a friend though. yeah.

It’s possible that it would, but the thing about murkrow is that they’re also highly intelligent and easy to train. If that shiny, red plastic thing was sentient and if its owner trained their murkrow to leave that shiny, red plastic thing alone, then the shiny, red plastic thing and the pokémon living inside it won’t have much to worry about.

Best of luck, friend!
