Corviknight's great utility and defensive typing, further bolstered by an immunity-granting ability, make it an excellent special wall and defensive pivot. Volt Absorb counters Electric-types such as Zapdos and Sandy Shocks, and helps against special attackers that rely on Electric-type coverage, such as Deoxys-S, Latios, and Iron Crown. Similarly, Well-Baked Body shuts down Ogerpon-H, Moltres, and non-Discharge Iron Moth. Brave Bird is the go-to STAB move, while Body Press is an option on Well-Baked Body sets to take advantage of the defensive boosts. U-turn generates momentum for its teammates, and Defog provides valuable hazard control. A Sassy nature with 0 Speed IVs is crucial for Corviknight's role as a slow pivot.
Corviknight fits on balance and bulky offense teams, where its longevity and consistency gives it a niche over Iron Treads. Corviknight can pivot in more offensive-minded teammates like Chien-Pao and Ogerpon-H, which also appreciate its ability to remove hazards. Corviknight loses to physical wallbreakers such as Zamazenta and Ogerpon-W, making physically defensive walls like Great Tusk and Pecharunt good teammates. Corviknight can also be overwhelmed by neutral special attacks from Gholdengo and Primarina, so it needs backup from RegenVest users like Manaphy and Swampert. In exchange, Volt Absorb Corviknight helps Manaphy answer Electric-types, while Well-Baked Body helps Swampert answer Fire-types carrying Grass-Type coverage.
