Gen 8 SS Monotype (Flying)Corviknight @ Occa Berry / LeftoversAbility: PressureEVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpDImpish Nature- Iron Defense- Body Press- Iron Head- Roost

An Ironpress set with Iron Head for Flying-type teams. Iron Defense is used to boost your defense so you can take physical hits better. Body Press takes advantage of your boosted defense and is really good coverage against Steel types like Ferrothorn, Bisharp, Melmetal, etc. Iron Head is used for steel STAB and is used so you won’t lose to Dragon Dance Dragapult. Roost is to allow you to recover HP. Occa Berry is used to live a fire move once, while Leftovers provides you a little HP recovery.

Ok, so, corvi, is not a good offensive ‘mon. I did some calcs, and realized, it was hot garbage. However, as a joke, I checked if it got tailwind. This is where I got an obscenely tanky boi. He’s so beautiful. So majestic.

Corviknight can learn steel beam even though the Move Tutor Moves section doesn’t list it. Steel Beam and Hurricane are meant for strong stab damage, and is meant roost for recovering health by steel beam or damage taken while setting up nasty plot. nasty plot to boost special attack. I used this moveset a few times and it was was pretty interesting.

Role: Physical Tank

Corviknight @Leftovers

EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 HP

Adamant Nature (+ Atk, - SpA)

Roost

Bulk Up

Brave Bird

Body Press

Roost is for healing damage, especially from Brave Bird’s recoil damage. Bulk Up raises its Atk and Def, raising the power of Body Press while also making it stronger Physically. Brave Bird is also strong STAB. Body Press is coverage and the power is high when you use Bulk Up enough. A pretty simple and straightforward moveset.

Corviknight @ LeftoversAbility: Mirror ArmorEVs: 200 Speed / 252 Atk / 56 DefJolly / Adamant NatureBrave Bird - STABIron Head - STABIron Defense / Roost - SetupBody Press - Coverage

Leftovers is to heal damage taken from Brave Bird. Mirror Armor means it’s stats cannot be lowered. The 200 EVs in speed is to make it faster the a few Pokémon on the field. The 252 in attack is to heighten it’s offensive power. And the 56 is Defense is to make Body Press more powerful. The Jolly nature increases it’s speed, and the adamant attack. Your choice on which you want. Brave Bird is a amazing move to have, and will be raised with the STAB boost. Iron Head is another good move to have, and it will also be raised by STAB boost. Iron Defense is for setup, to make your Corviknight even more bulky, and to make Body Press even more powerful. You could also go for Roost, another good move to have, and will heal damage delt by attacks or Brave Bird. Body Press at this point, it will be a pretty great move, and will cover one of Corviknight’s weakness’s.

Body Press calculates in Defense so we Need Bulk Up or Iron Defense.

Corviknight @ Covert CloakAbility: Mirror ArmorTera Type: WaterEVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 DefRelaxed NatureIVs: 0 Spe- Roost- Body Press- U-turn- Brave Bird/Defog

Simple set,Corv is one of the best defensive pivots in OU and its not because of its stats,its corvs typing.This typing helps it switch in on great tusk and pivot out or threaten direct damage with brave bird.Theres Zero speed IVS so your u-turns move last and you can react to what ever move your opponent makes and this will help in Corv vs Corv situations where u-turning is the best choice moving last helps alot.Covert Cloaks counters garg and with corv flying type stone walls curse sets and stealth rock sets.Corv is in my opinion the best defogger and you can defog if your team needs that over brave birds offensive capabilities.The reason for Corviknight being mirror armor over pressure is for mystical fire hattrene if your running defog then pressure is the better choice.
