[SET COMMENTS]
This Corviknight set takes advantage of its strong natural defenses to turn into a deadly setup sweeper. Corviknight's natural bulk makes it fairly easy to activate Weakness Policy and then use Agility and Bulk Up, turning Power Trip into a menacing attack. Roost allows Corviknight to set up more easily. After a few boosts, Power Trip allows Corviknight to sweep types like Psychic, Steel, and Flying. Corviknight's EV spread outpaces Tapu Koko after Agility, and the rest of its EVs are dumped into HP and Special Defense, letting it tank strong special attacks such as Kyurem's Freeze-Dry and Tornadus-T's Heat Wave.
Corviknight forms an "immunity core" with Aegislash and Heatran: the three of them cover Ground-, Fighting-, and Fire-type attacks, respectively. Heatran can also burn physical attackers like Zeraora with Lava Plume, giving Corviknight more opportunities to set up. Melmetal can help Corviknight break through walls such as Toxapex and Hippowdon, which can undo its setup progress with Haze or Whirlwind. Additionally, Melmetal's Double Iron Bash can target Fairy- and Dark-type Pokemon that resist Corviknight's Power Trip, such as Galarian Moltres on Flying teams. Excadrill provides an Electric immunity and handles threats such as Tapu Koko. Ferrothorn can stack entry hazards alongside Heatran and wear down the opposing team with Leech Seed, allowing Corviknight to clean late-game. Ferrothorn also provides a resistance to Water, which it uses to check threats such as Tapu Fini. Also, Choice Specs Jirachi can help break through tough Poison-type Pokemon like Amoonguss and Toxapex with Psychic, and Dark-type Pokemon like Hydreigon with Moonblast, all of which can threaten Corviknight. On hyper offense teams, Klefki can provide dual screens support to make it easier for Corviknight to set up.
