Thanks to its high Defense stat and typing, Corviknight serves as a good physical wall and pivot, as well as an entry hazard remover with Defog and good matchups against entry hazard setters like Mudsdale and Clefable. Anchor Shot can be used alongside Pressure to trap opposing Pokemon and quickly drain their PP; it's also vital in pressuring Fairy-types like Clefable and Sylveon. Taunt can also be run alongside Anchor Shot to quicken the removal of Pokemon running setup or status moves. U-turn allows Corviknight to pivot on switch-ins like Rotom-W and Heatran and can bring in strong teammates to keep pressure. It can run a Relaxed nature with minimal Speed to have slower pivots, but this comes at the cost of not being able to outspeed Clefable, Celesteela, and Tyranitar. Alternatively, the combination of Iron Defense and Body Press can be used to leverage Corviknight's high Defense and deal damage to both offensive Pokemon like Tyranitar and Excadrill and opposing walls like Ferrothorn. Defensive Pokemon like Seismitoad appreciate Corviknight's ability to remove entry hazards and keep them from being worn down by chip damage, while offensive Pokemon like Keldeo, Aerodactyl, and Gengar like its ability to switch into physical hits and pivot them safely in. Corviknight's average Special Defense and weakness to common offensive types Electric and Fire means that it appreciates teammates that are able to absorb hits from common threats like Heatran and Zeraora, such as Thundurus-T, Toxapex, Mudsdale, and Seismitoad.
