[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.

Specially Defensive Corviknight serves a important role on Flying being able to sponge special attacks from the likes of Frosmoth, Glimmora (swap one for gren imo), and Flutter Mane. Iron Head threatens the Fairy- and Ice-types that can scare Flying like Hatterene, Alolan Ninetales(Iron Valiant?) and Kyurem. U-Turn allows for Corviknight to safely pivot in teammates along with removing Hoopa-U (corv no wanna stay in vs hoopameow) . Defog removes Stealth Rock making entry for teammates like Choice Band Dragonite easier. The EV Spread maximums Corviknight's special bulk while allowing it to OHKO Flutter Mane.(can mention fun facts like not getting 2hkoed by ice beam specs gren I guess)

Skarmory serves as a solid defensive partner being able to take on physical Rock- and Ice-types like Kleavor, Cetitian and Weavile comfortably for Corviknight along with providing Hazards. (move this to after lando glis. Also add meowscarada because its a cat and its most recognizable...and maybe dd nite )The Landorus formes can check problematic Electric-, Fire- and Steel-types like Raging Bolt, Hisuian Arcanine and Gholdengo for Corviknight while appreciating Corviknight being able to take on Special Ice-type attacks from the likes of Latios (Latos more of a Torn-T's job imo) and Darkrai. (mention scarf lando/lando-t too, nice vs Raging Bolt, FM, and stinkies) Gliscor similarly threatens Electric- and Steel-types like Sandy Shocks and Heatran while also Toxic support to wear down bulky targets like Swampert and Pelipper. Dragonite greatly appreciates Corviknight handling Fairy-types like Flutter Mane and Hatterene and in return Dragonite can easily remove Fire-types such as Iron Moth and Ninetales along with checking faster (eeh, maybe just pick them off, I dont think meow is threatened by dnite when it can just triple axel and nite doesnt kill quite yet. Mentioning dd sets could be cool) threats like Meowscarada with Extreme Speed. Assault Vest Tornadus-T assists Corviknight by being able to Knock Off Choice Specs from the likes of Dragapult and Flutter Mane giving Corviknight an easier time removing them (doesnt pult just die on the knock tho/or at least closer to death. Maybe just having the latter portion is enough) along with being able to use its Flying STAB 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. (mention moltres gyarados for niche phys walls, tho do this after enamorus) 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 nessicary.

QC 1/2, ty Pengairxan
 
"Scarf Landorus can also outspeed and remove Flutter Mane and Hoopa-U."

I'd expand on generalizing both landorus formes forming a momentum core and this is pretty straightfoward. it passively highlights the archetype of flying teams also in the teammates. great work pengairxan 2/2
 
this is an amcheck, so it doesn't count towards the needed GP check.
