Should I use Hawlucha or Corviknight for my sword playthrough?

1 minute read

I just defeated Nessa and was looking around in Hammerlocke Hills for good Pokemon and found a Limber Hawlucha. I was wondering if I should add it to my team over Corvisquire because I had an idea for a good set:

Setup SweeperHawlucha (M) @ Expert BeltAbility: Limber/Mold BreakerEVs: 4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant Nature-Flying Press (Part flying type, Gets boosted by expert belt)-High Jump Kick (Main STAB)-Stone Edge (Further Coverage)-Hone Claws (Gives all moves perfect acc.)

I would definitely go with Hawlucha here. Like Barbara said, Sword and Shield were very easy. As a result, brute force is the way to go. That being said, Hawlucha has better Attack and Speed than Corviknight. Hawlucha also gets much better moves in Close Combat, Brave Bird and a whole variety of coverage moves. Corviknight on the other hand is stuck with Brave Bird, Iron Head, Body Press and Facade. Corviknight also faces a weakness to Kabu and Leon. Hawlucha struggles with Opal and Bede. However, Hawlucha has an advantage over more Gym Leaders which is extremely beneficial. Because of this, unless you prefer more bulk, choose Hawlucha.

I think you should go with Corviknight because it has lots of resistances and can learn Iron Defense and Body Press, if you set up 3 Iron Defenses and then use Body Press it will do a lot of damage and can learn pretty good Flying type moves.

Go for Hawlucha. It can do devastating damage if you have status like bulk up, swords dance and hone claws and then sweep them down because the status move raises its attack, also hone claws is good for high jump kick as high jump kick has a chance of missing. (I think?)Hawlucha has great speed. It has better attack. It is useful if you get used to it. Strongly recommend Hawlucha.
