[SET COMMENTS]
Bulk Up Corviknight serves as a solid wincon for Steel teams thanks to its solid natural bulk and Flying typing, granting it a key immunity and neutrality to Ground and Fighting,respectively. Brave Bird is Corviknight's main offensive tool, easily removing Fighting-types like Gallade, Sneasler, and Scrafty along with dealing with other problematic foes like Dragapult and Ogerpon-W. Body Press provides a solid complement to Brave Bird, helping to deal with the Steel- and Rock-types that resist Brave Bird such as Bisharp, Empoleon, and Ogerpon-C. Alternatively, Taunt can be used to stop attempts to handle Corviknight with opposing threats such as Whirlwind Hippowdon and Haze Toxapex; otherwise, Substitute enables Corviknight to easily set up in front of the likes of Dragon Tail Garchomp, punishes defensive pivots such as Mandibuzz and opposing Corviknight, and grants it a safety net against wallbreakers that would otherwise threaten it out. The main EV spread maximizes Corviknight's special bulk, while the alternative EV spread can be used to let Corviknight outspeed Skarmory and use Taunt against it before it can set up Iron Defense or Roost, enabling Corviknight to eventually win.
Heatran serves as an excellent teammate, easily taking on the Fire-types that would handle Corviknight such as Iron Moth, Skeledirge, and opposing Heatran along with absorbing Will-O-Wisp from the likes of Dragapult and Moltres. Iron Treads's Ground typing allows it to easily handle the Electric-types that threaten Corviknight like Raging Bolt and Sandy Shocks; it also removes Landorus with Ice Spinner, preventing it from grounding Corviknight with Gravity. Gholdengo can help Corviknight by using Thunder Wave to slow down threats like Ogerpon-W as well as handling foes such as Iron Valiant and Pecharunt. Archaludon can handle physical attackers that threaten to break Corviknight like Ogerpon-H and Urshifu-R thanks to Stamina. Alternatively, Choice Scarf Archaludon can outspeed and remove threats such as Keldeo with Thunderbolt. Hisuian Goodra is a nice special wall capable of taking on threats like Flutter Mane, Latios, and Dragapult along with being able to use Knock Off to remove Rocky Helmet from the likes of Toxapex and Skarmory. Bisharp can remove problematic Ghost-types like Gholdengo and Sableye as well as using Sucker Punch to check fast threats like Hoopa-U.
