The design of Corviknight is brilliant. It's name and typing are cleverly well made, and I like its stat distribution. This pokemon was one of Gen 8's best designed pokemon imo. I hope the knight in shining armor will continue its presence in OU. Great video as always Jim! 👏👏

[@jonathanlongtinhuen4938]

With Iron Mugulis' absolutely amazing spDef, Sinistea won't be able to do anything about it and it's relatively low defense will be demolished by any good special move Iron has. We need a search and rescue party for Sinistea.

The Pokedex has many inaccuracies but it's kind of funny how wrong it is when it comes to Corviknight being a "prey" when with its speed itself can avoid Tinkaton without even needing to fight it

[@usedpidemo]

i’m surprised power trip bulk up isn’t being considered as an gholdengo lure more, but that goes to show how insane body press/iron defense is. imagine if mirror armor worked like a unique magic bounce exclusively for corv along its stat drop deflection

[@just_a_rebel8261]

Aye I'm not the only one got a couple teams with it

[@cassandramaccarthy3337]

Or if Mirror Armor protected the entire side of the field in doubles or something, like it reflects Intimidate and icy wind's speed drop back on both enemies instead of just 1

[@edwardperez8580]

You forgot to mention Corviknight is mathematically more tanky than Skarmory. Although Skarmory has more Defense, Corviknight has more HP making it survive hits that could kill Skarmory. Not to mention it has higher Sp Def.

[@windwaker0rules]

Max defense Skarm does take physical hits very slightly better by like 1%, and has 3 more speed... though when you count the extra hp recovery from leftovers, a better movepool and special defense, not even close.

[@hitkid2456]

It might be overkill, but you could run both. Make Corviknight the specially defensive one.

[@godlywalrus2694]

Corviknight is less physically bulky than skarmory but has considerably better special bulk

Corv is that old reliable mon that you know can handle a threat depending on EVs. Ngl making balance team defensive cores this generation is tricky because of all the threats flying around but corv definitely makes it easier.

Day 12: it is unknown where the other presences are at. However, it is known that Iron mugulis is hiding in a living dish washer machine. It is said Mabostiff is to big to fit in it as expected. However, it is said that Sinistea's powers is enough to get the mug out of the machine. However, what i fear most is some dumb guy sticking his head in it, making the process of getting Iron mugulis out of the machine much harder.

I may not be good at this game, but I had an absurd amount of fun in Gen 8 OU with a Mirror Armor, Iron Defense-Roost-Body Press Corvioknight. It's a hell of a wall who gets tankier as it gets ready to drop a fucking freight train of a max-defense Body Press on opponents, and few things are funnier to me than opening a match against an opponent's intimdate Landorous by bouncing their own ability back at them. Its just cathartic. Corvioknight is my favorite Gen 8 pokemon because of all the fun I had with him low-ranked on Showdown, and by a long shot.
