With high Defense and a good defensive typing, Corviknight is a reliable physical wall that can switch into offensive threats like Kingambit and Great Tusk, as well as remove entry hazards without being threatened by entry hazard setters like Ting-Lu and Clodsire. Well-Baked Body allows Corviknight to fearlessly switch into Fire-type attacks from Pokemon like Cinderace and Iron Moth, Intimidate and Fluffy make Corviknight a good switch into physical attackers like Quaquaval and Aerilate Dragonite, and Delta Stream alongside Body Press helps Corviknight to better counter Baxcalibur. Brave Bird lets Corviknight threaten Pokemon like Great Tusk and Meowscarada, Body Press beats Kingambit and Baxcalibur, and Iron Head can be used to threaten Baxcalibur and Chien-Pao while still hitting Ghost-types. Corviknight also acts as a slow pivot with U-turn, allowing it to bring in offensive teammates like Dragonite and Baxcalibur safely. Corviknight struggles to hurt Steel-type Pokemon like Gholdengo and Iron Treads, so it appreciates teammates like Chi-Yu and Great Tusk that can take them out. Due to its middling Special Defense, Corviknight also appreciates teammates like Garganacl and Florges that can take special attacks.

Corviknight makes use of its good defensive typing and decent special bulk to serve as both a special pivot and a Defogger that doesn't fear common entry hazard setters like Garchomp and Ting-Lu. Well-Baked Body is great for checking Volcarona and Iron Moth, and Volt Absorb allows Corviknight to block Volt Switch from Pokemon like Rotom-Wash and Sandy Shocks. Brave Bird can be used to hit Great Tusk, while Iron Head threatens Ice-types like Chien-Pao and Baxcalibur. U-turn and minimum Speed turn Corviknight into a slow pivot, allowing it to safely bring in frail Pokemon like Gengar and Ceruledge. Corviknight has difficulty against physical walls like Dondozo and Kingambit, so teammates like Sandy Shocks and Iron Moth that can handle them are necessary. Because Corviknight can't run multiple immunity abilities, a second specially defensive partner like Garganacl or Clodsire should be used to help cover its defensive weaknesses.
