Corvisquire is a crow-like, avian Pokémon. Its tail and dorsal feathers have a navy coloration, and its breast feathers are blue-gray. Matte black feathers accent its wing-tips, ruff, and face, which is adorned with a mask-like crest. Its beak and three-toed feet are gray, and it has black talons. Corvisquire's eyes are red, and rimmed beneath with a white patch.
Corvisquire's brain is large relative to those of other bird Pokémon, which is thought to be the reason behind its high intelligence level. Corvisquire are intelligent enough to use tools in battle, having been seen to throw rocks at their opponents or use vines to entangle them. Over the course of many tough battles, they learn to assess the strength of prospective opponents before engaging them. Corvisquire preys on Steenee.
Corvisquire and its evolutionary relatives were designed by Hitoshi Ariga.[1]
Origin
Corvisquire's category suggests it is based on a raven; it may be based on a jackdaw or hooded crow, which are found in Britain and, like ravens, are members of the Corvidae family. Its blue color may be a reference to jays, especially the blue jay and Steller's Jay, also types of corvids, while its shiny coloration bears a resemblance to the Eurasian jay. Its Violet Pokédex entry may be a reference to the New Caledonian crow, which is well-known for its tool use.
