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.

Legends: Z-A Corvisquire Best Moveset

spread 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 Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, 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.

  • In Legends: Z-A, Corvisquire's biggest threats include Manectric (Electric), Weavile (Ice), and Tyranitar (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves.

  • In Legends: Z-A, 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.

  • In Legends: Z-A, 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.

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.
