Bulk Up allows Corviknight to boost its Attack and Defense, which can make it very difficult to take down. Brave Bird is a powerful STAB move that boosts its Speed when used in Dynamax. Roost lets Corviknight restore its HP and helps to preserve its longevity. Power Trip increases in power the more Corviknight boosts and is a nice coverage move for hitting Aegislash and other Pokemon that resist Brave Bird. Body Press is an alternative option that takes Corviknight's Defense into account when dealing damage and hits Steel-type Pokemon that resist Brave Bird such as Bisharp. However, Body Press doesn't hit Aegislash, a very prominent Pokemon in the current metagame. Pressure is useful for PP stalling certain Pokemon such as Gardevoir's Mystical Fire with Roost. Mirror Armor is another ability option that helps Corviknight overcome Strength Sap Galarian Corsola, which is otherwise problematic to deal with. Maximum Special Defense investment allows it to take special attacks better; it can already boost its Defense with Bulk Up.
Excadrill is a good partner for Corviknight because it takes care of its Electric weakness thanks to its Ground typing. Combining Ferrothorn with Corviknight forms a good defensive core and an entry hazard setter, which makes it easier to set up and annoy the opposing team. Aegislash is another good partner because its Ground weakness is covered by Corviknight's Ground immunity.
