One of the first Pokemon encountered by many Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players is Rookidee, and they have the chance to evolve it into a Corviknight. From Pidgeot to Staraptor to Talonflame, players have been able to essentially have a second starter in the first bird they see. Pokemon Scarlet & Violet doesn't add a new Pokemon of this sort but brought back Corviknight, who filled this niche in Pokemon Sword & Shield.
