A- to B
Corviknight is extremely passive which does not work well in the current metagame. Role Compression is important yet all Corviknight can provide is a decent pivot and Defog. Corviknight, although being defensive, has no way to threaten its opponent. It does not get toxic or twave, it doesn’t get stealth rock or spikes, and it doesn’t get knock off. The worst part about Corviknight is that it faces major competition with Lando-T. Lando-T also provides defog and u-turn, but is a better wall, has toxic and stealth rock, and can provide decent damage with Earthquake. Corviknight also faces type overlap with common mons like Lando-T, Tornadus-T, Ferrothorn, Melmetal etc. Corviknight’s Bulk Up sets only really work on HO and even then, are still outclassed by other HO setup sweepers. The ever-present Dragapult can break through Corviknight, and this is only because Corviknight has no way to actually threaten Dragapult.
