[SET]
Pressure Stall (Corviknight) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 200 HP / 56 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Substitute
- Roost
- Taunt

[SET COMMENTS]
- Corviknight aims to use Pressure to deplete the PP of slower Pokemon without Speed-boosting moves, forcing them to damage themselves with Struggle.
- The combination of Protect and Substitute allows Corviknight to stall most moves powerful enough to OHKO or 2HKO it, such as those used by Iron Hands and Donphan.
- Taunt will prevent Pokemon such as non-Life Orb Primarina, Pecharunt, and Cresselia from using setup or status moves to overpower Corviknight.
- The HP EVs allow for the maximum number of Substitutes, factoring in Leftovers and Protect, while maximum Speed EVs allow Corviknight to outrun Primarina as well as non-Timid Raging Bolt and Volcanion.
- In order to mitigate Corviknight's weakness to Fire- and Electric-type moves from foes such as Volcanion, Raging Bolt, and Volcarona, it can be advantageous to pair it with Pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra, Haxorus, and Dragapult.

- Corviknight aims to use its Pressure ability to deplete the PP (...) of Pokemon without setup moves, forcing them to damage themselves with Struggle.
- The combination of Protect and Substitute allows Corviknight to stall most moves powerful enough to OHKO it (examples include iron hands, non-flame charge volcanion, calm mind raging bolt you should maybe clarify that the last two never run timid but yeah.).
- Taunt will prevent Pokemon such as Primarina, Iron Crown, and Cresselia from using setup moves to overpower Corviknight.
- The HP EVs allow for the maximum number of Substitutes, factoring in Leftovers and Protect (mention something about max speed, maybe that it allows it to always outspeed prim and iron hands and set up sub against them idk.).
- Corviknight operates at its finest against Pokemon using Choice Items (pretty sure the word "item" is never capitalized by gp standards but that's not something i want to involve myself with), such as Choice Band Meowscarada (252+ Atk Choice Band Protean Meowscarada Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 200 HP / 0 Def Corviknight: 277-327 (71.5 - 84.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO ermm), Haxorus and Chien-Pao (252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 200 HP / 0 Def Corviknight: 277-327 (71.5 - 84.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO yeah i didn't know they did the same amount of damage until today either), as Pokemon able to switch between multiple strong attacks can often wear Corviknight down.
- In order to mitigate Corviknight's weakness to Fire- and Electric-types such as Volcanion, Raging Bolt, and Volcarona, it can be advantageous to pair Corviknight with Pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra, Haxorus, and Dragapult.

- Corviknight aims to use its Pressure ability to deplete the PP of Pokemon without setup moves, forcing them to damage themselves with Struggle.
(I feel there is a contradiction here where this set is initially stated to target setup-less mons, while also blocking opposing set-up with taunt later.)
- The combination of Protect and Substitute allows Corviknight to stall most moves powerful enough to OHKO it, such as those used by Iron Hands and non-Timid Raging Bolt (If they bolt on your taunt/taunt on your anything you die. Mention Non-Taunt specifically, or use another example.)
- Taunt will prevent Pokemon such as Primarina, Iron Crown, and Cresselia from using setup moves to overpower Corviknight. (loses to LO prim, trick cress, faser spa booster crown, speed crown. )
- The HP EVs allow for the maximum number of Substitutes, factoring in Leftovers and Protect, while maximum Speed allows it to outrun Primarina as well as non-Timid variants of Raging Bolt and Volcanion.
- In order to mitigate Corviknight's weakness to Fire- and Electric-types such as Volcanion, Raging Bolt, and Volcarona, it can be advantageous to pair Corviknight with Pokemon such as Hisuian Goodra, Haxorus, and Dragapult.
