Thanks to Corviknight's naturally great defensive typing, Corviknight can act as a check to a lot of the Physical threats in the tier. Iron Defense can be used to 1v1 setup Pokemon like Zamazenta-C, Extreme Speed Arceus, and Zacian. U-Turn, on the other hand, can be used as Corviknight's low speed makes it functional as a slow pivot. Tera Water makes it resistant to Fire-type moves, which is useful as Zacian can commonly run Tera Blast Fire, so Tera Water can be very useful in these situations. Leftovers can be used for longevity purposes, although Rocky Helmet can be used to punish Physical attackers even more. Since Corviknight is Physically Defensive, special attackers are going to be an issue for it, so having a Specially Defensive Pokemon like Slowking-G can help Corviknight out. Slowking-G is also benefits because Corviknight covers his Ground weakness. Corviknight is also a bit on the passive side, so Taunt users like Arceus-Dark can really mess it up. Having a pokemon that can deal with them like Zacian can greatly benefit Corviknight. Because of the combination of hazard removal and slow pivot, Pokemon like Chi-Yu and Kyurem-White can benefit from a Corviknight presence, as these pokemon might struggle to switch in, as well as reaping the benefits of a hazard removal.
