Biology

Rookidee is a small, birdlike Pokémon that is primarily dark blue, including its wings, tail, back and part of its head. The lower part of its body and chest is yellow and has a black part that begins from under its wings to its face, from which feathers protrude over its head, giving it a mask-like appearance. It has red eyes and small gray feet and legs.

Rookidee are feisty and territorial Pokémon and will bravely fight against anybody, no matter how big and strong that opponent is. They are able to store some of their own energy after every battle, so they can grow a bit stronger even if they lose. Using their legs, they are able to jump nimbly from place to place to confuse Pokémon bigger than themselves. Rookidee preys on Grubbin.

Trivia

Rookidee shares its category with Pidgey, Spearow, and Natu. They are all known as the Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called the Little Bird Pokémon.
Rookidee and its evolved form are the first non-Legendary Pokémon to be purely Flying-type.
Rookidee is tied with Natu as the smallest Flying-type Pokémon.
Rookidee and its evolved forms were designed by Hitoshi Ariga.[1]
Rookidee is the first regional bird to not be part-Normal-type in at least its base evolutionary form.

Origin

Rookidee's design appears to draw inspiration from birds in the Paridae family, such as chickadees and tits; in the latter example's case, it seems to be inspired by the Japanese tit, the Eurasian blue tit, or the Great tit. While these birds are not a member of the corvid family like the apparent inspirations for Corvisquire and Corviknight, they are in the same order, Passeriformes.

Name origin

Rookidee may be a combination of rook, rookie, kid, and chickadee.

Kokogara may be a combination of 子 ko (child) and 小雀 kogara (willow tit) or 烏 karasu (crow).
