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.
Smart enough to use tools in battle, these Pokémon have been seen picking up rocks and flinging them or using ropes to wrap up enemies.
The lessons of many harsh battles have taught it how to accurately judge an opponent’s strength.
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 a decent partner pool 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 39 partners from the Flying egg group. Notable egg moves include Defog, Rock Smash, Roost and 4 more.
The 50% bulk from Eviolite is no joke. Corvisquire takes hits that fully evolved Pokemon can't, especially with max Attack and Speed EVs pushing the fast physical side. Tailwind gives it offensive presence.

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.
