Stats & Training
Bulk defines Corviknight's stat line. Defense and HP anchor the defensive side, but Sp. Atk can't keep up offensively. Tough to catch and worth 3 Defense EVs.
Corviknight can’t serve as a taxi service in Paldea because the Pokémon’s natural predators will attack it while it flies, endangering the customer.
Although its wings have partly turned to steel and become heavy as a result, this Pokémon flies through the skies with ease.
Corviknight Weakness
Corviknight's Flying/Steel typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire and Electric. It shrugs off Poison and Ground-type attacks completely. With 8 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Corviknight's overall bulk (98/105/85) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Corviknight Guide
For Scarlet & Violet, we rate Corviknight B-Tier: a solid option in Scarlet & Violet for the right team. At 495 BST, the stats are spread pretty evenly. Roost with Rocky Helmet is the standard set.
Pressure increases the PP cost of moves targetting the Pokémon by one. That's the one you want on Corviknight. Mirror Armor is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Unnerve works too if your team needs something different.
At base 67 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Corviknight is leaning toward the physical side (base 87 Attack). Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
In Scarlet & Violet, run Roost, Defog, U Turn, and Bodypress on Corviknight. Roost is the most common pick at 23% usage. This set covers the balanced role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since debuting in Sword & Shield, Corviknight has appeared in 3 titles over 3 generations. Along the way, it received a Gigantamax form in Generation 8, keeping it relevant across different competitive metas.
