Wow, who would have thought the Pokemon with a marketed Gmax would be more viable with it gone?

move 2: Taunt
move 3: Roost
move 4: Brave Bird / Body Press
item: Rocky Helmet

nature: Impish
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
tera type: Dragon / Flying / Grass

[SET COMMENTS]

* Corviknight's fantastic typing makes it one of the best pivots in the metagame; it easily gets dangerous teammates such as Hydreigon and Dragapult in.

* Brave Bird's damage output generally justifies the recoil.

* Body Press deals much more damage to Electric-types such as Rotom-W but makes Dragapult a problem.

* Rocky Helmet lets Corviknight wear down physical threats more quickly while pivoting.

Tera Types
========

* Corviknight's defensive typing is fantastic, so don't Terastallize too hastily and lose to more threats.

* **Dragon**: Dragon and Fairy weaknesses are devastating, but in the late-game, resisting Electric and Fire can give Corviknight new win conditions against old foes such as Rotom-W.

* **Flying**: Boosting Brave Bird's damage output is nice, but the secret to the Flying Tera type is that Corviknight will no longer be vulnerable to Fissure while it uses Roost.

* **Grass**: Grass improves matchups against Rotom-W and Breloom significantly.

* Corviknight's fantastic typing makes it one of the best pivots in the metagame, letting it easily get dangerous teammates such as Hydreigon and Dragapult in via U-turn.

* Brave Bird's recoil is generally worth it for the damage output.

* Body Press makes the Dragapult match-up much worse, but in exchange, deals much more damage to Electric-types such as Rotom-W.

* Rocky Helmet is highly recommended on this set, letting Corviknight wear down physical threats more quickly while pivoting.

Tera Types
========

* Corviknight's defensive typing is fantastic, so don't Terastallize too hastily, otherwise it may lose to more threats.

* **Dragon**: Gaining a Dragon and Fairy weakness is devastating, but in the late game, Tera Dragon's new resistances to Electric and Fire can give Corviknight new win conditions against old foes such as Rotom-W.

* **Flying**: Boosting Brave Bird's damage output is nice, but the secret to the Flying Tera type is that Corviknight will no longer be vulnerable to Fissure while it uses Roost.

* **Grass**: A Grass Tera type improves the match-up against Rotom-W and Breloom significantly.
