Substitute + Bulk Up Corviknight is a formidable wincon on balance teams, utilizing its elite bulk in combination with Pressure to PP stall would-be checks like Heatran, Zapdos, and Toxapex while still being a consistent check to Tapu Lele and Calm Mind Iron Valiant. Bulk Up is important for Corviknight to attempt a sweep in the later stages of the game as well as still be a functional check to the likes of Mega Scizor and Swords Dance Gliscor. Substitute lets Corviknight rack up boosts safely on more passive Pokemon like Clefable, Toxapex, and Galarian Slowking; it also prevents it from having its Leftovers removed from Knock Off and avoid status while also letting it waste more PP from Heatran's and Zapdos’s attacks. Tera Dragon is extremely important for Corviknight, as it lets it flip the matchup on Fire- and Electric-types like Volcarona, Mega Charizard Y, and Rotom-W, turning the latter two into setup fodder. The given EV spread allows Corviknight to live a boosted Continental Crush from Garchomp and outspeed uninvested Mega Scizor, with the rest maximizing its special bulk. Entry hazard support is crucial for Corviknight to sweep, as it needs to waste as much recovery PP as it can from its checks to sweep in the later stages of the game, making Clefable and Gliscor important teammates. Both of these also switch into Toxapex safely, while the latter can also pivot and take advantage of Heatran. Knock Off support further supplements Corviknight by crippling Zapdos, Toxapex, and Rotom-W, making Mega Tyranitar and Weavile good partners. Corviknight can often be worn down easily and forced to waste Roost PP early on if it is the sole defensive pivot, making it inefficient at sweeping, so pairing it up with a sturdy defensive backbone, for example Toxapex + Mega Latias, can help spread the load. Prior to Terastallizing, Corviknight can be forced out by strong Electric- and Fire-types like Tapu Koko, Heatran, and Raging Bolt, so having strong checks to these Pokemon such as the aforementioned Gliscor, Ting-Lu, and Draco Meteor Mega Latias is important.

Substitute + Bulk Up Corviknight is a formidable win condition on balance teams, (ac) utilising its elite bulk in combination with pressure to PP stall would-be checks like Heatran, Zapdos, and Toxapex, while still being a consistent check to Iron Valiant fighting move and Tapu Lele. Substitute lets Corviknight rack up boosts safely on more passive Pokemon like Clefable, Toxapex, and Galarian Slowking; it also prevents it from having its Leftovers removed from a weak Knock Off and avoid status, while also letting it waste more PP from Heatran and Zapdos’ attacks.
