[SET COMMENTS]
Specially defensive Corviknight serves an important role on Flying by being able to sponge special attacks from the likes of Frosmoth, Greninja, and Flutter Mane. Iron Head threatens the Fairy- and Ice-types that can scare Flying, like Hatterene, Iron Valiant, and Kyurem. U-turn allows for Corviknight to safely pivot in teammates. Defog eases entry for teammates like Choice Band Dragonite. The given EV spread maximizes Corviknight's special bulk while allowing it to OHKO Flutter Mane with Iron Head.
The Landorus formes can check problematic Electric-, Fire-, and Steel-types like Raging Bolt, Hisuian Arcanine, and Gholdengo for Corviknight while appreciating it being able to take on special Ice-type attacks from the likes of Articuno and Darkrai. Choice Scarf variants of the Landorus formes can also outspeed and remove Flutter Mane and Hoopa-U. Gliscor threatens Electric- and Steel-types like Sandy Shocks and Heatran while also providing Toxic support to wear down bulky targets like Swampert and Pelipper. Skarmory serves as a solid defensive partner for Corviknight, being able to comfortably take on physical Rock- and Ice-types like Kleavor and Cetitan, as well as other physical threats like Meowscarada, along with providing entry hazard support. Dragonite greatly appreciates Corviknight handling Fairy-types like Flutter Mane and Hatterene. In return, Dragonite can easily remove Fire-types such as Iron Moth and Ninetales and pick off threats like Meowscarada with Extreme Speed. Assault Vest Tornadus-T assists Corviknight by using Knock Off to remove Choice Specs from the likes of Flutter Mane, giving Corviknight an easier time handling them. Additionally, Tornadus-T can use its Flying-type attack to remove Iron Valiant and Ogerpon-W. Zapdos can handle Water-types that resist Corviknight's Iron Head like Toxapex, Empoleon, and Swords Dance Urshifu-R along with checking opposing Corviknight. Choice Scarf Enamorus deals with Dragon- and Dark-types like Choice Specs Dragapult, Choice Specs Greninja, and Hisuian Samurott along with providing Healing Wish for Corviknight if necessary. Gyarados can help to stave off physical threats like Cinderace, Barraskewda, and Gallade along with spreading paralysis, enabling Corviknight to outspeed Glimmora, which makes it easier to check.
