[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.

item: Covert Cloak

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.
