Corviknight is a staple on Steel-type teams due to its great bulk and amazing defensive typing that gives Steel a valuable Ground immunity and Fighting neutrality. Bulk Up allows Corviknight to set up and become a dangerous bulky sweeper capable of dismantling unprepared teams. Taunt is used to stop hazard setters such as Galarian Corsola and Ferrothorn from setting up Stealth Rock and prevent Pokemon such as Hippowdon and Toxapex from using Whirlwind or Haze. Power Trip is an option over Taunt to make the Ghost matchup easier. Brave Bird hits threats such as Keldeo and Kommo-o. Mirror Armor is the preferred ability so Corviknight can check Mystical Fire users such as Indeedee. Ferrothorn is a good partner, as its able to switch in on strong Water-type attacks such as Dracovish's Fishious Rend, and it can also set up entry hazards. Excadrill is also a good teammate due to its Ground typing allowing it to take care of Fire-types like Chandelure and Rotom-H.

Some changes were made to trim it down to 1000 characters. It ended up being 1001 but close enough.
