[SET COMMENTS]
Corviknight has easily cemented itself as a staple on Flying teams, acting as an extremely versatile defensive wall that can also remove entry hazards for its teammates. Iron Head allows Corviknight to handle Flutter Mane and other Fairy-types such as Mimikyu and Hatterene. Body Press hits Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and other Dark- and Steel-types hard. On the other hand, U-turn safely brings in stronger attackers like Dragonite, Iron Jugulis, and Kilowattrel, providing extra counterplay against Pokemon such as Volcarona and Gholdengo, which commonly switch into Corviknight. Pressure is the preferred ability for PP stalling Stealth Rock, while Mirror Armor counters Flutter Mane and Hatterene, which would otherwise overwhelm Corviknight with Mystical Fire. With the listed EV spread and a Careful nature, Corviknight avoids a 2HKO from Flutter Mane's Shadow Ball while guaranteeing Iron Head OHKOes Flutter Mane in return. The remaining EVs are put into Defense to ease its matchup against physical threats such as Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Baxcalibur.

Corviknight's capability to take on many offensive threats combined with its Steel typing makes it a stellar asset that almost any offensive Pokemon benefits from. For instance, Iron Jugulis appreciates Corviknight removing Flutter Mane, and Flamigo struggles with Ice Shard variants of Chien-Pao, which Corviknight can safely switch into. Dragonite greatly benefits from Corviknight's ability to soak up Ice-, Fairy-, and Dragon-type attacks while also covering Corviknight's weaknesses to Fire- and Electric-types such as Cinderace, Magnezone, and Volcarona. Gyarados can also act as a reliable wincon against types like Fire and Ground while also making Chien-Pao significantly more managable with Intimidate. Additionally, Kilowattrel is a great offensive pivot to pair with Corviknight, as it removes threats that could harm Corviknight like Greninja, Volcarona, and Azumarill while also absorbing Electric-type attacks. In return, Corviknight counters Iron Treads and Ting-Lu, which threaten Kilowattrel. Pelipper can be paired with Kilowattrel and Corviknight to form a potent rain core that softens the impact of Fire moves and gives Kilowattrel a Water-type Weather Ball, OHKOing many Fire-types that annoy Corviknight including Skeledirge and Rotom-H. Corviknight appreciates having Talonflame as an alternative option against physical attackers, as Talonflame is able to hold off Chien-Pao and burn Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Dragonite, tremendously easing Corviknight's role.

Corviknight has easily cemented itself as a staple on Flying teams, acting as an extremely versatile defensive wall that can also remove entry hazards for their teammates. Iron Head allows Corviknight to handle Flutter Mane, along with other Fairy-types such as Mimikyu and Iron Valiant. Body Press provides coverage against common dark and steel types (mention hitting Bax / Kingambit for good damage imo). On the other hand, U-turn is a valuable tool for safely bringing in your stronger attackers (like who, what does corv invite in that it has to uturn too?). While Pressure is a good ability for stalling out weak attacks and hazards, (no need to talk about Pressure imo) Mirror Armor is the preferred ability for countering Flutter Mane and Hatterene, who would otherwise overwhelm Corviknight with Mystical Fire. The listed EV spread combined with a Careful nature lets Corviknight dodge the 2HKO from Flutter Mane's Shadow Ball while guaranteeing Corviknight to OHKO Flutter Mane with Iron Head. The remaining EVs are put into Defense to ease it's matchup against popular physical threats such as Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Baxcalibur.

Corviknight's capability of taking on many offensive threats combined with it's Steel typing makes Corviknight a stellar asset to Flying teams. Almost any offensive Pokemon can benefit from Corviknight's defensive utility. For instance, Iron Jugulis appreciates Corviknight removing Flutter Mane, and Flamigo struggles with Ice Shard variants of Chien-Pao, who Corviknight can safely switch into. Dragonite in particular strongly benefits from Corviknight's ability to soak up Ice-, Fairy-, and Dragon-type attacks while also covering Corviknight's weaknesses to Fire- and Electric-types such as Iron Moth, Iron Hands, (both have and use coverage against dnite [Dazzling/Ice Punch]. Its best to have a diff example) and Volcarona. Additionally, Kilowattrel is a great offensive pivot to pair with Corviknight. Corviknight helps remove Iron Treads, Chien-Pao, and Baxcalibur, in conjunction with dealing decent chip damage to Ting-Lu, all of which greatly threaten Kilowattrel. In return, Kilowattrel provides ample counterplay against Greninja, Volcarona, and Azumarill, on top of sponging Electric-type attacks that would take down Corviknight. And if Kilowattrel is a rain variant, it can OHKO many of the fire types that annoy Corviknight, including Skeledirge and Rotom-Heat. (Compress this imo to 2 sentences: One for Kilowattrel and Corv synergy, and then add peli + kilowattrel + corv combo [rain dampens fire moves too]) Considering the workload Corviknight is given in most Flying teams, Corviknight appreciates having Talonflame as an alternative option against physical attackers. Talonflame is able to hold off Chien-Pao and burn the likes of Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Dragonite, tremendously easing Corviknight's role and allowing it to stay in battle for longer.

Corviknight has easily cemented itself as a staple on Flying teams, acting as an extremely versatile defensive wall that can also remove entry hazards for their teammates. Iron Head allows Corviknight to handle Flutter Mane, along with other Fairy-types such as Mimikyu and Iron Valiant. (Not sure if Valiant is the best example here as Specs sets with Thunderbolt can actually break Corv once chipped, I would put Hatterene here instead) Body Press hits Baxcalibur Chien-Pao and Kingambit for good damage, as well as other common Dark- and Steel- types. (Body Press does less than Iron Head vs Bax, which is why mentioning Chien-Pao here is preferred) On the other hand, U-turn is a valuable tool for safely bringing in stronger attackers like Dragonite, Iron Jugulis, and Kilowattrel, providing extra counterplay against Pokemon such as Volcarona and Gholdengo, who commonly switch into Corviknight. Mirror Armor is the preferred ability for countering Flutter Mane and Hatterene, who would otherwise overwhelm Corviknight with Mystical Fire. (Mystical Fire Flutter Mane and Hatt aren't common enough to have Mirror Armor be preferred, keep the Mirror Armor sentence as an alternative and mention Pressure as the preferred ability to stall out the PP of Stealth Rock) The listed EV spread combined with a Careful nature lets Corviknight dodge the 2HKO from Flutter Mane's Shadow Ball while guaranteeing Corviknight to OHKO Flutter Mane with Iron Head.

Corviknight's capability of taking on many offensive threats combined with it's Steel typing makes Corviknight a stellar asset to Flying teams. Almost any offensive Pokemon can benefit from Corviknight's defensive utility.

(Choice Band Chien-Pao can 2HKO mixed/specially defensive Corviknight therefore making Corv not a counter, if you want to keep a third example, maybe add Scarf Greninja?) Alternatively, Pelipper can be paired with Kilowattrel and Corviknight to form a potent rain core that softens the impact of Fire moves and gives Kilowattrel access to Weather Ball, OHKOing many Fire-types that annoy Corviknight, including Skeledirge and Rotom-Heat.

in the first sentence of the second paragraph, the subject was "capability"; this would mean that following words like "allow" and in this case, "make", have to be conjugated to fit in correctly. (if ykwim i'm sorry if that wasn't worded correctly).

you did really good on changing the pronouns to be more fit for items and not people. keep it up slaystie!!

Gyarados can also act as a reliable wincon against types like Fire and Ground while also making Chien-Pao significantly more managable with Intimidate. Additionally, Kilowattrel is a great offensive pivot to pair with Corviknight, as it removes threats that could harm Corviknight like Greninja, Volcarona, and Azumarill while also absorbing Electric-type attacks. In return, Corviknight counters Iron Treads and Ting-Lu, which threaten Kilowattrel. Pelipper can be paired with Kilowattrel and Corviknight to form a potent rain core that softens the impact of Fire moves and gives Kilowattrel a Water-type access to Weather Ball, OHKOing many Fire-types that annoy Corviknight including Skeledirge and Rotom-H. Corviknight appreciates having Talonflame as an alternative option against physical attackers, as Talonflame is able to hold off Chien-Pao and burn Great Tusk, Iron Hands, and Dragonite, tremendously easing Corviknight's role.

in the first sentence of the second paragraph, the subject was "capability"; this would mean that following words like "allow" and in this case, "make", have to be conjugated to fit in correctly. (if ykwim i'm sorry if that wasn't worded correctly).

you did really good on changing the pronouns to be more fit for items and not people. keep it up slaystie!!
