Base Stats
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.
Corvisquire Guide
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.
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 a physical attacker with base 67 Attack. Base 77 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many.
Corvisquire does the job early-game if you need a Flying type on your team. Evolve it into Corviknight before the later gyms and it holds up fine through the story.
Game Availability
Introduced in Sword & Shield, Corvisquire has appeared in 3 games across 3 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
