[SET COMMENTS]
Bulk Up Corviknight is a potent wincon, utilizing its stellar bulk and typing in tandem with Substitute and Pressure, allowing it to PP stall would-be checks such as Reuniclus, Heatran, and Toxapex. Meanwhile, its able to consistently check the likes of Tapu Lele and Rillaboom. However, Bulk Up Corviknight needs multiple boosts to get going, and it usually ends up being forced out by Pokemon such as Tapu Koko or Heatran just as it starts setting up. Substitute allows Corviknight to bypass status such as burns from Rotom-W's Will-O-Wisp and paralysis from Clefable's Thunder Wave while also being able to reduce much more PP from the likes of Garchomp's Stone Edge, Ferrothorn's Knock Off, and Toxapex's Scald. Bulk Up lets Corviknight boost its Attack and Defense, letting it check the likes of non-Swords Dance Mega Mawile, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Scizor while still being threatening. Brave Bird lets Corviknight consistently check Grass- and Fighting-type Pokemon such as Kommo-O, Rillaboom, and Hawlucha while dealing decent damage against neutral foes when boosted. The given EV spread allows Corviknight to outspeed Mega Scizor and most Mega Mawile and take a boosted Continental Crush from Garchomp, and the rest of the investment is put into Special Defense to let Corviknight take attacks from the likes of Zapdos, Mega Latias, and Tapu Lele better.

Bulk Up Corviknight fits best on bulky teams that appreciate its role as a wincon with defensive utility. Pokemon such as Mega Latias, Mega Tyranitar, and Gliscor that appreciate Corviknight's defensive capabilities in checking threats such as Kyurem, Weavile, and Mega Lopunny work well with it. In return, they check Electric- and Fire-types such as Mega Charizard Y, Zapdos, Victini, Zeraora, and Tapu Koko for it. Calm Mind Clefable, Mega Latias and Mega Mawile appreciate Corviknight PP stalling opposing Calm Mind Clefable and Heatran. Strong hazard support such as Spikes Greninja, Toxic Spikes Toxapex, and Stealth Rock Clefable are all formidable allies, as the entry hazards they set up wear down switch-ins to Corviknight such as Tapu Koko and Heatran, and Corviknight is able to Pressure stall Defog from opposing Corviknight in return, letting their hazards stay on the field. Due to Corviknight being walled by Electric- and Steel-type Pokemon such as Skarmory and Zapdos, partners that can eliminate them such as Mega Tyranitar and Heatran work well with it.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Electric-types and Electric-type Coverage**: Corviknight is extremely threatened by the likes of Tapu Koko, Zapdos, Rotom-W, and Zeraora and is easily forced out by them. Electric-type coverage from Pokemon like Clefable, Tapu Lele, and Mega Latias also pressure it. Magnezone is an exceptional threat to Corviknight, as it also traps Corviknight instead of just forcing it out, removing it from the match.

**Fire-typea and Fire-type Coverage**: Pokemon such as Heatran, Mega Charizard Y, and Victini can easily force Corviknight out, although Magma Storm, Fire Blast and V-create respectively can easily be PP stalled by Corviknight in the long run; however, Lava Plume and Flamethrower do better against Corviknight due to their higher PP. Fire-type coverage from the likes of Mega Diancie, Clefable and Mega Latios pressure Corviknight hard as well, denying it set up opportunities.

**Status**: If Corviknight is burned, its offensive capabilities are greatly hindered, removing its ability to function as a late game win condition due to its low damage output. Paralysis causes Corviknight to get revenge killed more easily and removes Corviknight's ability to check the likes of Rillaboom effectively. However, this issue is generally mitigated by Substitute.

Mega Lopunny is an especially excellent partner to Corviknight as it lures and pivots on Pokemon such as Toxapex, Tangrowth and Landorus-T which can easily be taken advantage of by Corviknight. edit this above sentence to not be about mlop, but just offensive pivots in general being able to bring in corv on passive pokemon it can set up on. Also, please mention somewhere how corv gets walled by electric and steel types and mention some answers for them, i also think that you should emphasize more on pairing it up with other set up sweepers that take advantage of pex being pp stalled out of haze.

**Bulky Water-type Pokemon**: Slowbro and Toxapex can easily pressure Corviknight, hazing away its boosts or threatening it with a scald burn, vastly reducing its offensive capabilities. you pp stall haze and scald, dont get threatened unless you switch directly in, which you wouldn't unless you're a dumbass. Switch this to be about status and how, if played recklessly, corv rlly suffers from burn/para

Bulk Up Corviknight is a potent win condition, utilising its stellar bulk and typing in tandem with Substitute and Pressure, which allows it to PP stall would-be checks such as Reuniclus, Heatran, and Toxapex. Meanwhile, its able to consistently check to the likes of Mega Lopunny its kinda shaky because this Corviknight isn’t as heavily invested in Defense and lacks Rocky Helmet, replace with something like Tapu Lele and Rillaboom. However, Bulk Up Corviknight needs multiple boosts to get going, and it usually ends up being forced out by Pokemon such as Tapu Koko or Heatran just as it starts setting up. Substitute allows Corviknight to bypass status such as Rotom-W‘s Will-O-Wisp and Clefable’s Thunder Wave, while also being able to reduce much more PP from the likes of Garchomp’s Stone Edge, Ferrothorn's Knock Off, and Toxapex’s Scalds. Bulk Up lets Corviknight boost its Defense and Attack, letting it check the likes of non-Swords Dance Mega Mawile, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Scizor while still being threatening better ??? that wording makes zero sense. Brave Bird lets it still consistently check Grass- and Fighting-type Pokemon such as Kommo-O, Rillaboom, and Hawlucha, while being strong against neutral foes after a few boosts of course. The given EV spread allows Corviknight to outspeed Mega Scizor and most Mega Mawile, take a boosted Continental Crush from Garchomp, with the rest in special defense to take the likes of Zapdos’s Discharge add Mega Latias and Tapu Lele better.

Bulk Up Corviknight fits best on bulky teams which appreciate its role as a win condition that has defensive utility. Pokemon such as Mega Latias, Mega Tyranitar and Gliscor that appreciate Corviknight’s defensive capabilities in checking threats such as Kyurem, Weavile, and Mega Lopunny work well with it. And in return, they check Electric- and Fire-types such as Mega Charizard Y, Victini, Zeraora, and Tapu Koko for it. Heatran and Zapdos are big ones too—Corv can’t PP stall it if it gets unlicky. Mega Mawile, Volcarona, and Mega Scizor all appreciate Toxapex being PP stalled letting them use it as set up fodder later on. You might want to specify Haze in this sentence, since thats what turns Toxapex into a full check. Calm Mind Clefable, Mega Latias and Mega Mawile appreciate Corviknight PP stalling opposing Calm Mind Clefable and Heatran. Strong hazard support such as Spikes Greninja, Toxic Spikes Toxapex and Stealth Rock Clefable are all formidable allies, as the hazards they set wear down switch-ins to Corviknight such as Tapu Koko and Heatran, while Corviknight is able to Pressure stall opposing Corviknight's Defog, letting their hazards stay on the field. Pivots such as Tapu Koko and Mega Lopunny are especially excellent partnersmto Corviknight as they lures and pivots on Pokemon such as Toxapex, Tangrowth and Landorus-T which can easily be taken advantage of by Corviknight. Meh, this part isn’t really relevant to SubBU, especially because these teams would rather have Defog Corviknight to make a good VoltTurn core. Due to Corviknight being walled by Electric- and Steel-type Pokemon such as Skarmory and Zapdos, partners such as Mega Tyranitar and Heatran which can eliminate these Pokemon work well with it.
