[SET COMMENTS]
Corviknights decent defenses, good defensive movepool, and a great defensive typing, Corviknight is one of the best hazard removal, pivot, and walling options in AAA. U-turn allows corviknight to pivot out with its abysmal speed stat into one of its teammates, providing momentum and chip damage. Drill Peck is a STAB move that allows Corviknight to not just be setup fodder and do actual damage into targets like Meowscarada, Great Tusk, and Ogerpon-Wellspring. Defog allows Corviknight to keep its teammates healthy by removing hazards, while Roost allows Corviknight to stay healthy and wall most threats in the tier. Leftovers allows for a bit of chip recovery, providing extra healing which can make it harder to break.
Corviknight's best teammates are offensive pokemon that benefit from its ability to slow pivot into it Azelf is an extremely offensive presence that benefits from having a safe in, as its defensive stats aren't the best. Other pokemon that benefit from Corviknights turning ability are Deoxys-Speed, Roaring Moon, and Chien Pao. Other great teammates defensively include Empoleon and Mandibuzz, as they both heavily benefit from Volt Absorb. However, Corviknight is weak to several common threats, including Gouging Fire, Heatran, and Iron Moth.
