Hi!
Pawn to f4. (1.Pf2-f4)
Bishop to h5. (4.Bd1-h5)
Quick question, even though the Witch can’t capture, can she still give Check?

The Witch cannot capture. So as a consequence the Witch cannot threaten to capture the King, which is the definition of giving check. So the answer is no.
Of course the Witch can move to somewhere where it is then causing another allied piece to give check to the enemy King. Sort of discovered check by transparency.
This is a rated Bulldog game between @GraysonKellogg (white) and @evert823 (black)
If you prefer a different initial position, for example including another variant piece, you can say so before doing your first move.
Have fun and good luck!
