Poison and Ground moves don't affect Corviknight at all — that's the advantage of Flying/Steel typing. It relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up. Known as the Raven Pokemon. The stat spread favors raw physical power.
Bulk defines Corviknight's stat line. Defense and HP anchor the defensive side, but Sp. Atk can't keep up offensively. Tough to catch and worth 3 Defense EVs.
Corviknight can’t serve as a taxi service in Paldea because the Pokémon’s natural predators will attack it while it flies, endangering the customer.
Although its wings have partly turned to steel and become heavy as a result, this Pokémon flies through the skies with ease.
Corviknight Weakness
FortressCorviknight's Flying/Steel typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire and Electric moves. It shrugs off Poison and Ground-type attacks completely. With 8 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Corviknight's overall bulk (98/105/85) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
End of the line. Corviknight caps a three-stage chain that started at Rookidee. Breeding produces the base form, and eggs are quick to hatch. Defense grew the most through evolution (+70 over Rookidee), and Corviknight peaks at 495 total stats.
How to Evolve

Pressure increases the PP cost of moves targetting the Pokémon by one — that's the one you want on Corviknight. Mirror Armor is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Unnerve works too if your team needs something different.
At base 67 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Corviknight is leaning toward the physical side (base 87 Attack). Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits.
Corviknight can be found in Legends: Z-A, Scarlet & Violet, and Sword & Shield.
