Corvisquire sits in the middle of its evolution line — stronger than Rookidee but not yet at full power. Most trainers push through to Corviknight as fast as possible. Ground moves can't touch it, and only 3 types hit it super-effectively. Known as the Raven Pokemon.
Corvisquire's spread isn't flashy. Speed leads, Sp. Atk trails, 0 stats clear the bar. Common in the wild and worth 2 Speed EVs, on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
It’s said that the reason behind Corvisquire’s high level of intelligence is the large size of its brain relative to those of other bird Pokémon.
This intelligent Pokémon will quickly learn how to use any tool it can hold in its beak or its talons.
Corvisquire Weakness
GoodType-wise, Corvisquire takes extra damage from Electric, Ice, and Rock. Ground moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 3 weaknesses is about average, nothing too hard to play around.
Corvisquire is the middle stage between Rookidee and Corviknight. It's a three-stage line with one more evolution to go. For breeding, quick to hatch with plenty of partners via one egg group. HP has grown the most so far (+30), but there's still another 130 stats to gain in the final evolution.
How to Evolve
Breed with Corvisquire to get Rookidee eggs easily using 73 partners from the Flying egg group.
a spread EV build EVs and Sassy nature turn Corvisquire into a wall that doesn't fold easily. Eviolite brings a bulk boost that only works before full evolution for the long game, and the moveset handles sustain. Unnerve fills in the gaps.

Corvisquire develops a solid moveset just through leveling. Take Down and Brave Bird show up naturally, and the progression handles both STAB and utility without leaning on TMs for the core attacks.
Breeding's the move. Defog and Rock Smash give Corvisquire options it can't learn any other way, and Dark and Normal coverage and more already covers a decent range on top of Sky Attack and Brave Bird. The egg moves push it further.

Corvisquire isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Corviknight to unlock its full potential. At 365 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
Rookidee evolves into Corvisquire at level 18. Corvisquire evolves into Corviknight at level 38. Corvisquire is a middle-stage evolution in the Rookidee line.
Keen Eye is the go-to ability for Corvisquire. It prevents accuracy from being lowered. Its hidden ability Big Pecks can work in specific setups. Unnerve is the other option — pick based on what your team needs.
Corvisquire fills the balanced role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 67 Attack). Base 77 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many.
Corvisquire can be found in Legends: Z-A, Scarlet & Violet, and Sword & Shield.
Introduced in Sword & Shield, Corvisquire has appeared in 3 games across 2 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
