With its remarkable defensive profile and utility options, Prankster Corviknight becomes an effective lead at setting dual screens to support its teammates. Prankster-boosted Taunt allows Corviknight to shut down foes like Great Tusk, Skarmory, and Regieleki from setting their entry hazards or own dual screens; stop Cinderace and opposing Corviknight from removing its dual screens with Court Change and Defog; prevent offensive threats like Zamazenta, all Ogerpon formes, and Ceruledge from using it as setup fodder; block Trick from Choice item users like Scream Tail and Gholdengo from crippling it; and additionally stop defensive Pokemon like Gholdengo, Scream Tail, and non-Prankster Pecharunt from healing freely the next time it comes in, letting its teammates overwhelm them more easily. U-turn makes use of Corviknight's middling Speed tier to support its teammates by bringing them in safely after stomaching an attack, and it's especially valuable against Dark-type foes like Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Taunt Roaring Moon that can otherwise set up in front of or even shut down Corviknight.

Corviknight is exclusively found on dual screens hyper offense teams. As a result, high caliber offensive threats like Tail Glow Manaphy, IronPress Zamazenta, and Dragon Dance Roaring Moon pair well with it, as they appreciate Corviknight bringing them in safely through U-turn and its dual screens to set up more easily. However, Double Dance sweepers such as Iron Crown and Galarian Moltres benefit from said dual screens even more, as they require multiple turns of setup before wreaking havoc. Other setup sweepers like Iron Boulder, Iron Hands, Ceruledge, and Volcarona have the added benefit of threatening Cinderace and Defoggers like opposing Corviknight and Mandibuzz—especially since Mandibuzz can use Defog freely even in the face of Corviknight—preventing them any free opportunities of ever removing Corviknight's dual screens. Since other foes like Zapdos, Iron Moth, and Dark-types like Roaring Moon and Kingambit can also use Corviknight as entry points, teammates that can come in afterwards to either threaten or use them as setup fodder are also beneficial, with the aforementioned Iron Boulder, Deoxys-S, Zamazenta, and Great Tusk capable of doing so. Furthermore, Corviknight's ability to prevent Stealth Rock from going up with Taunt also gives setup sweepers like Ceruledge, Volcarona, and Chien-Pao more freedom to forgo Heavy-Duty Boots for more firepower.
