However, we found the best overall chocobo to be Piko. Piko’s speed boost ability grants invincibility when maintaining top speed long enough. Therefore, we found that his speed burst is quite handy not only to avoid crashing with rivals but also to get that extra boost in the last moments of the race.
We found the second best Chocobo to be Fango, with his Chocojump ability allowing you to ignore hazards, jump over corners, create shortcuts, and even extend your flight time after hitting an updraft panel.

That being said, every Chocobo has their own unique ability that might come more in handy depending on the race course. You could also offset their weaknesses by equipping the right gear for the Chocobo you want to use.
