Corviknight's fantastic typing, ability, and bulk make it the best Defogger in OU. It can switch into Excadrill, Skarmory, and Hippowdon safely and clear any entry hazard they set up with Defog while also stalling out Stealth Rock and Spikes PP with Pressure. Corviknight checks many other threats such as Rillaboom and Clefable, which it can also capitalize on to remove entry hazards. Roost keeps Corviknight healthy throughout the match and can be used to stall the PP of moves like Dragapult's Hex. U-turn allows Corviknight to pivot into one of its teammates against bad matchups. Even uninvested, Brave Bird is a decently powerful attack, 2HKOing Rillaboom and Urshifu-S. Brave Bird also prevents Volcarona from switching in freely, as it gets OHKOed after a small amount of chip damage. Body Press can be used over Brave Bird to 2HKO Excadrill and make it more difficult for Hydreigon, Magnezone, and Bisharp to switch in safely. Iron Head is another option worth considering to 3HKO Hatterene, but it's inferior to Brave Bird and Body Press. 28 Defense EVs allow Corviknight to always survive +2 Rillaboom's Superpower and OHKO it in return with Brave Bird.
Corviknight should be used on balance and stall teams that require entry hazard removal or a Rillaboom and Excadrill check. Kyurem in particular benefits from Corviknight's ability to remove entry hazards and can assist it in PP stalling with its SubRoost set. Corviknight has poor matchups against Electric-types, so it appreciates partners that can check them; Ground-types such as Gastrodon and Quagsire should be wary of Toxic, but they are still good switch-ins to Rotom-H, Magnezone, and non-Grass Knot Zeraora and also greatly appreciate Corviknight's ability to check Rillaboom. Grass-types such as Rillaboom and Tangrowth can check Zeraora as well as Rhyperior, which Corviknight otherwise struggles removing entry hazards against. Excadrill can freely set up against Corviknight if it doesn't run Body Press. Rillaboom, Crawdaunt, and Choice Scarf Ditto can be brought in safely with U-turn and revenge kill Excadrill, making them great teammates.

Corviknight can use its great typing and bulk to become a fantastic wincon for balance and stall teams. It can use Bulk Up against Rillaboom, Hatterene, and Excadrill and sweep late-game once its checks and counters have been weakened. Corviknight can still contribute early-game, checking Alakazam and Scizor and using Pressure and Roost to stall out the opponent's PP. Taunt is the preferred option in the last slot, as it shuts down opposing bulky setup sweepers and prevents Corviknight's boosts from being removed by Haze or Whirlwind. Substitute is also an option to avoid getting burned, giving Corviknight a better matchup against Toxapex. The given EV spread allows Corviknight to outspeed uninvested Skarmory and cripple it with Taunt before it has a chance to set up Spikes.
Electric- and Steel-types should be eliminated before trying to sweep with Corviknight. Magnezone can trap and eliminate Steel-types such as Skarmory and opposing Corviknight, while Gastrodon can counter Rotom-H, Magnezone, and non-Grass Knot Zeraora. Furthermore, both Magnezone and Gastrodon can lure in Ground- and Grass-types, respectively, which Corviknight can take advantage of. While Corviknight can find multiple opportunities to set up, its damage output is poor even after multiple boosts. Additionally, Corviknight is susceptible to getting burned by Scald if running Taunt. Entry hazard support from from Rhyperior and Ferrothorn can alleviate Corviknight's low damage output, while Heal Bell support from Blissey and Clefable can give Corviknight another chance at sweeping should it get burned. Defensive Clefable in particular is a fantastic partner; in addition to providing Heal Bell support, it can also set up Stealth Rock and remove Volcarona's and Rotom-H's Heavy-Duty Boots with Knock Off.

Grâce à son fantastique double type, Talent, et Bulk, Corvaillus est le meillieur utilisateur d'Anti-Brume en OU. Il peut venir sans encombre
sur Minotaupe, Airmure et Hippodocus, et enlever avec Anti-Brume tout entry hazards qu'ils auraient posés, le tout en faisant perdre les PP de Piège de Roc et des Picots avec Pression. Corvaillus checks beaucoup d'autres Pokémon, comme Gorythmic et Mélodelfe, lui permettant d'avoir plus d'opportunités pour enlever les entry hazards. Atterrissage permet à Corvaillus de se soigner tout au long du match ; l'attaque peut être utilisé pour stall les PPs d'attaques comme Châtiment de Lanssorien. Demi-Tour lui permet d'amener l'un de ses coéquipiers contre ses mauvais matchups. Même sans investissement en Attaque, Rapace est une attaque relativement puissante, obtenant le 2HKO sur Gorythmic et Shifours (Style Poing Final). Rapace empêche également Pyrax de venir en toute liberté sur Corvaillus, puisqu'il se fait OHKO après des petits dégâts de gratte. Big Splash peut être utilisé à la place de Rapace pour 2HKO Minotaupe, et rendre plus difficile pour Trioxhydre, Magnézone et Scalproie de switch-in. Tête de Fer est une autre option qui mérite d'être considéré, afin de 3HKO Sorcilence, mais c'est inférieur à Rapace et à Big Splash. 28 EVs en Défense permettent à Corvaillus de toujours survivre à un Surpuissance de Gorythmic à +2, pour l'OHKO en retour avec Rapace.
Corvaillus devrait principalement être utilisé dans les équipes balance et stall qui ont besoin d'un Pokémon qui peut enlever les entry hazards, ou d'un check à Gorythmic et Minotaupe. Kyurem bénéficie tout particulièrement de la capacité de Corvaillus à enlever les entry hazards et peut aider ce dernier dans sa tâche de PP stall avec son set SubRoost. Corvaillus est en difficulté contre les types Electrik. Par conséquent, il apprécie des partenaires capables de les check ; les types Sol tels que Tritosor et Maraiste doivent se méfier de Toxik, mais ils restent des bons switch-ins à Motisma-Chaleur, Magnézone et Zeraora sans Nœud Herbe. De plus, ils aiment beaucoup que Corvaillus puisse check Gorythmic. Les types Plante comme Gorythmic et Bouldeneu peuvent check Zeraora et Rhinastoc, contre lesquels Corvaillus a du mal à enlever les entry hazards. Il faut noter que Minotaupe peut se setup contre Corvaillus si ce dernier ne joue pas Big Splash. Ainsi, Gorythmic, Colhomard et Métamorph Mouchoir Choix sont des bons coéquipiers, puisqu'il peuvent être amenés en sécurité avec Demi-Tour et revenge kill Minotaupe.

Corvaillus a la possiblité d'utiliser son très bon double type et bulk pour devenir une formidable wincon pour les équipes balance et stall. Il peut utiliser Gonflette contre Gorythmic, Sorcilence et Minotaupe et ainsi sweep en fin de partie lorsque ses checks et contres ont été affaibli. Malgré tout, Corvaillus peut toujours être utile en début de match, en checkant Alakazam et Cizayox et en utilisant Pression et Atterrissage pour réduire les PPs de l'adversaire. Provoc est l'option préféré pour la dernière attaque, car ça permet de neutraliser les bulky setup sweepers adverses, et empêche qu'on enleve les boosts de Corvaillus avec Buée Noire ou Cyclone. Toutefois, Clonage est aussi une option pour éviter de se faire brûler, ce qui donne un meilleur matchup contre Prédastérie. La répartition proposé permet à Corvaillus de dépasser Airmure non investi en Vitesse, pour l'empêcher avec Provoc de poser ses Picots.
Avant d'essayer de sweep avec Corvaillus, les types Acier et Electrik devraient être éliminés. Ainsi, Magnézone est un partenaire possible, qui peut piéger et éliminer les types Acier adverses, comme Airmure et le Corvaillus adverse. Tritosor peut quand à lui, être un contre à Motisma-Chaleur, Magnézone et Zeraora sans Nœud Herbe. De plus, Magnézone et Tritosor peuvent tout les deux attirer respectivement les types Sol et Plante sur le terrain, contre lesquels Corvaillus peut venir. Bien qu'il peut se placer de nombreuses fois, les dégâts qu'il faits sont faibles, et ce même après plusieurs boosts. En plus, Corvaillus est susceptible de se faire brûler par des Ebullition si il est joué avec Provoc. Pour remédier à cela, le soutien des entry hazards venant de Rhinastoc et Noacier peut être considéré pour compenser les faibles dégâts de Corvaillus, tandis que un support avec Glas de Soin de la part de Mélodelfe et Leuphorie peut donner une deuxième chance à Corvaillus si il doit être brûlé. Mélodelfe défensif est tout spécialement un excellent partenaire ; en plus d'apporter ce support avec Glas de Soin, il peut également poser les Pièges de Roc et enlever avec Sabotage les Heavy-Duty Boots de Pyrax et de Motisma-Chaleur.
