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.
