Rookidee is a small, dark blue bird Pokémon with a mask-like plume of black feathers and red eyes whose white markings help it intimidate other Pokémon. It evolves into Corvisquire at level 18 and then into Corviknight at level 38, and Rookidee's line was the first non-Legendary Pokémon family to be purely Flying-type.
Rookidee and Natu are tied as the smallest Flying-type Pokémon, and the line was designed by Hitoshi Ariga.
Three Rookidee appeared in Meeting Up with the Monarch!, where two Corviknight protected their nest; one of them had an injured wing that Leon bandaged.
Rookidee's first card was a Sword and Shield base set Common illustrated by Akira Komayama, followed by a Hitoshi Ariga Common in Darkness Ablaze. Shining Fates Shiny Vault added a Shiny rare by Lee HyunJung, and Fusion Strike brought an OKACHEKE Common. Paldea Evolved gave it both a Common by Naoki Saito and an Illustration rare by GOSSAN, and Journey Together added a Hop's Rookidee Common illustrated by Shinya Mizuno.

Rookidee cards span 2020 to 2025, and the most valuable Rookidee card is the Illustration rare from Paldea Evolved in 2023. All seven Rookidee cards carry a market value, so the whole species is priced. The Paldea Evolved leader sits well clear of the rest of the field in Rookidee card value, ahead of a Shiny rare from the Shining Fates Shiny Vault and a run of Commons from Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet.
The Paldea Evolved Illustration rare from 2023 leads Rookidee card value by 3.6 times over the next card, the Shiny rare from the Shining Fates Shiny Vault in 2021. Third is Hop's Rookidee, a Common from Journey Together in 2025. Fourth is a Common from Fusion Strike in 2021. An illustration rare is a card with expanded artwork that runs across much of the card face, and a Shiny rare is the alternate-color version of a Pokémon from a set's shiny subset.
The most valuable Rookidee cards come from two eras. Four of the leading cards are from Sword & Shield and three are from Scarlet & Violet. The newest era's leader is the Paldea Evolved Illustration rare from 2023, which holds 1st place overall. Vintage here means the WOTC era, and modern is every later era: the top ten and the top twenty-five each hold seven modern cards, so the Rookidee market sits entirely in modern sets.
Among the Rookidee cards in the top ten, five are printed as Common, one is an Illustration rare and one is a Shiny rare. The top twenty-five shows the same split, since the species has only seven cards in all. Rookidee card value is spread across Commons and the two higher rarities, the Illustration rare from Paldea Evolved and the Shiny rare from the Shining Fates Shiny Vault.
By the value of its single leading card, Rookidee ranks 678th of 1020 species with priced cards. The evolution line sits lower: Corviknight is 648th of 1020 by its top card, which is a step above Rookidee, and Corvisquire is 927th of 1020. Rookidee's market is built around one Illustration rare that stands well apart, with the rest of the species' cards grouped below it.
