[SET COMMENTS]

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.

On phone sorry for the ugly qc

Nuke idef slash and it's mention in paragraph, it's just kinda bad. Id also mention taunt cuz it can be good alongside anchor shot to remove opposing pokemon. Also mention how anchor shot pressures clef and sylveon

offensive Pokemon like Weavile and Gengar like it's ability to switch into physical hits and pivot them safely in.

Replace weav with keldeo and add Aero

Blissey, Mudsdale, or Seismitoad.

Add heatran as an example fire type, remove bliss and add pex and thundy

Mention min speed relaxed for slow turns but note the tradeoff of being unable to outspeed clef and ttar

Weavile and

Change this to be ttar and excadrill

Thanks to its high Defense stat and Steel/Flying typing that gives it resistance to eight types unnecessary fluff, Corviknight serves as a good physical wall and pivot, as well as an entry hazard remover with access to Defog and good matchups against entry hazard setters like Mudsdale and Clefable. Anchor Shot can be used alongside Pressure to trap opposing Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Hippowdon and quickly bring down their PP, crippling them before they can threaten your team; it's also vital in and 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 away from strong special attackers like Rotom-H and Heatran on switch-ins like Rotom-W and Heatran and can bring in strong offensive 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 big damage to both frail ttar is p fat (derogatory) offensive Pokemon like Tyranitar and Excadrill and opposing walls like Ferrothorn. Defensive Pokemon like Seismitoad appreciate Corviknight's ability to remove 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-Therian, Toxapex, Mudsdale, and Seismitoad.
