[SET COMMENTS]
Corviknight is an invaluable part of Flying teams by virtue of its incredible defensive typing and access to utility options that many of its teammates appreciate. Defog removes Stealth Rock so that its teammates that don't run Heavy-Duty Boots or had theirs removed have an easier time switching in. Defog also removes dual screens set by foes, allowing its wallbreaking teammates to remove various threats. Iron Head threatens Rock- and Ice-types that can threaten its teammates such as Iron Boulder, Ogerpon-C, and Alolan Ninetales. Body Press handles Rock- and Ice-types as well, and in addition, it handles Steel- and Dark-types such as Excadrill, Kingambit, Chien-Pao, and Greninja. Alternatively, U-turn allows Corviknight to pivot out of bad matchups such as Fire- and Electric-types. Pressure allows it to punish Sableye using Encore. On the other hand, Mirror Armor can be used to punish attacks such as Bleakwind Storm from Tornadus-T and Moonblast from the likes of Iron Valiant and Enamorus. A Careful nature along with 252 HP EVs and 144 Special Defense EVs allow Corviknight to survive two Shadow Balls from Choice Specs Flutter Mane, and 12 Attack EVs let it OHKO back with Iron Head.

Landorus appreciates Corviknight removing Stealth Rock, which would otherwise wear it down over time due to its lack of recovery. In return, Landorus takes out Fire-types such as Heatran, Ceruledge, and Hisuian Arcanine, and its Electric immunity eases that matchup, handling the likes of Raging Bolt and Magnezone. Skarmory is another beneficiary of Corviknight's removal of entry hazards, as it preserves Sturdy so it is able to set its own entry hazards. Articuno, with its great special bulk, takes on Water-types such as Choice Specs Greninja and Primarina and threaten them back with Freeze-Dry. In return, it appreciates Corviknight handling Rock-types. Choice Specs Zapdos and Choice Band Dragonite are two more offensive teammates that appreciate the removal of entry hazards, which would otherwise weaken them. Zapdos also appreciates Corviknight taking out Rock-types such as Ogerpon-C and Kleavor, while Dragonite appreciates the removal of Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Hatterene. In return, Zapdos handles Primarina, while Dragonite takes on Fire-types such as Ogerpon-H and Heatran. Choice Scarf Enamorus provides great speed control for Flying teams, outspeeding and threatening the likes of Dragapult and Choice Specs Iron Valiant. In return, Enamorus appreciates Corviknight taking on Steel- and Ice-types such as Excadrill, Empoleon, and Chien-Pao. Setup sweepers such as Double Dance Galarian Moltres and Dragon Dance Dragonite appreciate Corviknight walling and removing their threats so they can find opportunities to set up and sweep late-game.

Defog also removes screens from foes so that its wallbreaking teammates have an easier time removing various threats. Iron Head threatens Rock- and Ice-types that can threaten its teammates such as Iron Boulder, Ogerpon-C, and Chien-Pao would move this over in the body press example and remove it here since body press is an ohko, you can put alolatales instead of pao here. Body Press handles Rock- and Ice-types as well, and in addition, it handles Steel- and Dark-types such as Excadrill, Kingambit, and Greninja. Alternatively, U-turn further adds onto Corviknight's role as utility by pivoting in teammates safely into Fire- and Electric-types would reword this to say allows corviknight to pivot out of fire and electric types. Roost grants Corviknight great longevity aside from Leftovers. Pressure allows it to punish Taunt attempts from Sableye and Deoxys-S taunt has 32 pp so yeah this really isnt a punishment at all. sableye is on the winning end since corviknight cant roost and generally doesnt actually want to take wisp from sab, i would change taunt to encore because you can actually pp stall encore that way so sableye becomes neutered, just remove deo s after u change taunt to encore. On the other hand, Mirror Armor can be used to punish certain attacks that lower stats such as Bleakwind Storm from Tornadus-T and Moonblast from users like Iron Valiant and Enamorus. A Careful nature along with 252 HP EVs and 144 Special Defense EVs allow Corviknight to survive two Shadow Balls from Choice Specs Flutter Mane, while 12 Attack EVs guarantees it to OHKO back with Iron Head obvious but the extra clarification reads nicer.

Landorus appreciates Corviknight removing Stealth Rock, which would otherwise wear it down over time due to its lack of recovery coupled with Life Orb sheer force, its not running many moves that makes it take recoil unless it has knock uturn anything else is an unset. In return, Landorus takes out Fire-types such as Heatran, Ceruledge, and Hisuian Arcanine, and its Electric immunity eases that matchup, handling the likes of Raging Bolt and Magnezone. Skarmory is another beneficiary of Corviknight's removal of entry hazards, as it preserves its Sturdy so it is able to set up at least one of its own entry hazards. Articuno with its great special bulk takes on Water-types such as Choice Specs Greninja and Primarina and threaten them back with Freeze-Dry. In return, it appreciates Corviknight handling Rock-types. Choice Specs Zapdos and Dragonite swap dragonite and zapdos cuz it reads like its saying choice specs zapdos and choice specs dragonite when thats not the case are two more offensive teammates that appreciate the removal of entry hazards which would otherwise weaken them usually dragonite is running boots so i would specify band dnite here if thats the idea, though i think dd is prob better? not sure, rly depends on archetype so you can just say choice band tbh so it flows easier with the zapdos mention edit: saw you mentioned dd dnite at the end lol so make this say choice band. Zapdos also appreciates Corviknight taking out Rock-types such as Ogerpon-C and Kleavor, while Dragonite appreciates the removal of Fairy-types such as Flutter Mane and Hatterene. In return, Zapdos handles Primarina, while Dragonite takes on Fire-types such as Ogerpon-H and Heatran. Choice Scarf Enamorus provides great speed control for Flying teams, outspeeding and threatening the likes of Dragapult, and Choice Specs Iron Valiant. , and Pawmot. In return, Enamorus appreciates Corviknight taking on Steel- and Ice-types such as Excadrill, Empoleon, and Chien-Pao lowkey pao might get banned soon so if its not banned by the time this gets GP'd maybe its worth waiting? not saying remove it tho obviously just wanted to give some food for thought. Setup sweepers such as Double Dance Galarian Moltres and Dragon Dance Dragonite appreciate Corviknight walling and removing threats to them so they can find opportunities to set up and sweep late-game.
