Rookidee

Say it: ROO-ki-dee

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Rookidee is the Tiny Bird Pokémon — Flying before Corvisquire and Corviknight. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Corviknight — not a finished raid attacker. Flying helps against Grass, Bug, and Fighting; Electric, Ice, and Rock punish it. Catch Rookidee from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Rookidee (#821) is a Flying Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Corvisquire/Corviknight. Trainers almost never power Rookidee for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Corviknight. Against Rookidee, lead with Electric, Ice, or Rock. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
