[SET COMMENTS]
Corviknight is an amazing Defogger for Flying teams because of its excellent defensive typing, bulk, and ability in Pressure. Its Steel typing allows it to comfortably take Rock- and Ice-type moves, which would typically be problematic, such as Tyranitar's and Terrakion's Stone Edge, Cloyster's Icicle Spear, (AC) and Mamoswine's Icicle Crash; it also provides Corviknight with a variety of resistances, allowing it to switch in on other Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Gardevoir and Excadrill. Its Steel typing also gives it a Toxic immunity, meaning Corviknight can take on defensive Stealth Rock setters such as Hippowdon, Shuckle, Piloswine, and Seismitoad that may carry the move. Pressure is particularly good on this set, as it means Corviknight can PP stall Stealth Rock users and keep entry hazards off the field more easily in conjunction with Defog. Body Press hits Pokemon such as Bisharp, Cloyster, Mamoswine, Excadrill, and Tyranitar for super effective damage, allowing Corviknight to check these Pokemon reliably. U-turn is important for Corviknight, as it can grab momentum against Pokemon it can't beat like Toxapex and Aegislash and bring in a teammate to more reliably take them on. Throughout the game, Corviknight should aim to find opportunities where it can comfortably use Defog or grab momentum using U-turn by switching in on Pokemon it walls. Maximum HP and Defense investment allows Corviknight to check the aforementioned Pokemon in Mamoswine, Weavile, Cloyster, Excadrill, and Bisharp with more reliability while also boosting the power of Body Press to check these threats.
Because Flying teams are typically weak to Stealth Rock, all of Corviknight's teammates appreciate its incredible reliability as a Defogger to keep entry hazards off the field. Choice Scarf Charizard is a great teammate for Corviknight, as it can outspeed and beat threats to Corviknight such as Choice Scarf Duraludon, Hydreigon, Aegislash, and Heliolisk; Charizard also appreciates Corviknight's Defog due to its 4x Stealth Rock weakness. Choice Scarf Noivern is another teammate that can outspeed and beat Dragon-type Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Dracovish and Choice Specs Dragapult. Corviknight's U-turn is also good for bringing Charizard and Noivern in comfortably in matchups such as Steel and Dragon, respectively. Togekiss is a great setup sweeper that can break through Pokemon with Nasty Plot in conjunction with Thunder Wave and Air Slash, such as Toxapex, Galarian Weezing, and Dragapult, that Corviknight can't get past. Mantine can be used as a secondary Defogger, switching into a variety of strong special attacks with its good special bulk and defensive typing, such as Seismitoad's and Keldeo's Hydro Pump, Choice Scarf Dragapult's and Charizard's Fire Blast, and Choice Specs Aegislash's Shadow Ball, working together with Corviknight to form a good defensive core that can remove hazards for the rest of the team.
