[SET COMMENTS]

* Corviknight stands out as one of the best choices around for a defensive Steel-type, thanks to recovery and Body Press.

* Taunt lets Corviknight effectively shut down slower defensive Pokemon, such as Dondozo.

* Iron Head helps Corviknight check Mimikyu more easily, especially if not running Rocky Helmet.

Tera Types
========

* Corviknight has a fantastic defensive typing, so only Terastallize if you need to win certain matchups, especially since it becomes vulnerable to Toxic.

* **Flying**: A Flying Tera type lets Corviknight retain its Flying typing even when using Roost, making it a more reliable check to Fissure users such as Dondozo and Garganacl.

* **Fighting**: With a Fighting Tera type, Body Press is easier to sweep with, as long as troublesome Fairy-types such as Mimikyu are removed.

* **Grass**: Tera Grass Corviknight not only handles Rotom-W better, but can set up on Breloom.

* **Dragon**: A Dragon Tera type lets Corviknight resist common attacks aimed at it, such as Electric- and Fire-type attacks. However, the new weaknesses to Fairy and Dragon make this a reactive Terastallization.

Items
========

* **Rocky Helmet**: The passive damage from Rocky Helmet against Mimikyu gives Corviknight a much easier time using Taunt over Iron Head.

* **Leftovers**: Corviknight tends to stick around, so Leftovers recovery makes sense over a Berry.

[SET]
name: Bulk Up
move 1: Bulk Up
move 2: Taunt
move 3: Roost
move 4: Iron Head / Power Trip
item: Covert Cloak
ability: Pressure
nature: Impish
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
tera type: Dark / Flying

[SET COMMENTS]

* With Bulk Up giving an Attack boost, Corviknight is free from having to use Body Press for good damage output.

* Taunt is highly recommended for shutting down Garganacl and Dondozo.

* Iron Head is chosen for both reliable damage output and hitting Fairy-types hard.

* Power Trip takes several boosts to get powerful, but it's Corviknight's best shot at dealing decent damage to Gholdengo, being able to break its Substitute after Bulk Up.

* Covert Cloak makes Corviknight immune to Salt Cure's residual damage, making Corviknight a good check to Garganacl.

Tera Types
========

* Remember that most of Corviknight's good Tera types leave it vulnerable to Toxic, so Terastallize carefully.

* **Dark**: While it doesn't help Corviknight much defensively, a Dark Tera type lets it 2HKO 4 HP Gholdengo with Power Trip after one use of Bulk Up.

* **Flying**: This Tera type lets Corviknight retain its Flying typing while using Roost, meaning Fissure users such as Dondozo are much easier to handle.

* **Steel**: A Steel Tera type boosts Iron Head and removes Corviknight's Electric weakness, at the cost of making it vulnerable to Earthquake.

* **Dragon**: Once Fairy- and Dragon-types are out of the way, the Dragon Tera type allows Corviknight to get around Electric- and Fire-type attacks.

* **Grass-type**: A Grass Tera type is Corviknight's best way of setting up on Breloom and handling Rotom-W.

[DerpySuX]

Looks good mostly, you said you wanted tera type suggestions so here’s what I’ve seen (these have all been on the ironpress set, I will note which ones were also used on the bulk up set)

Fighting - this removes Corv’s standard weaknesses of electric and fire, as well as gives it STAB on Body Press. Your new weaknesses remain fairly manageable, and if you can take care of Mimikyu beforehand it becomes probably the best tera type for corv imo.

Flying (also used on BU) - This removes Corv’s weakness to fire but the main benefit actually comes thanks to a mechanic in SV where if you’re Terastallized into a flying type, using Roost does NOT remove your flying typing. This allows Corviknight to basically completely sit on dodonzo and other fissure users. By losing its Steel typing, Corviknight also becomes much better at handling Garganacl, since it weakens the residual damage from Salt Cure and resists Body Press.

Steel (BU) - You lose your Electric weakness and power up Iron Head, fairly simple.

Grass (also on BU) - spore copium

GP Team done

Apologies Sulo , this may have been an editing mistake on my part, but it seems like a bunch of the listed tera types didn't get checked (maybe I accidently deleted them). I restored them and put them in bright red text, so if those get checked by someone, THEN I think this is done!

 

[DerpySuX]

I know this seems really minute but it might be worth noting that if corv terastallizes into a non steel type it does become vulnerable to toxic. A lot of people have a habit of just blindly throwing corv into toxic users like Clodsire from my experience, and it obviously pays to be mindful of its newfound vulnerability to the status upon terastallization.

My only objection to adding this is that I feel like that's supposed to be obvious info (though yeah I've def seen that happen myself lol). For now I'm gonna make a small note of it above all the other teras so I don't keep repeating it lol
