Everything about it is great. The design, the name, the theme. It’s great.

So it’ll probably have shitty stats and an ugly shiny, and not be capturable until late game

From what I've heard its stats wont make it so insufferable as skarmory

Celesteela was just another level altogether. It had access to coverage moves and utility a normal pokemon should never see. It was basically a smogon fakemon.

>From what I've heard its stats wont make it so insufferable as skarmory
If the stats we calculated out in an earlier thread are true, it's gonna be even more insufferable.
>102 HP(+37 over Skarmory)
>80 Atk(Same)
>98 Def(-42 Def compared to Skarmory)
>56 SpA(+16 over Skarmory)
>78 SpD(+8 over Skarmory)
>60 Spe(-10 compared to Skarmory)
At a glance, it looks inferior, but...
The HP stat difference actually is big enough that the difference in physical bulk is actually really tiny.
On the special side, Corviknight is as bulky as a 252 SpD Skarmory completely uninvested.
If the stats are correct, it's flat out better than Skarmory outside Sturdy, assuming it gets all of Skarmory's tools.

Yeah, I completely agree with this.
However, there's been a bunch of people writing off this stat spread as "underwhelming" and "barely good enough for RU" and I think they are crazy.

Assuming its movepool is good, it's gonna be a better Skarm.

In the end the movepool is what'll dictate if it'll be able to outclass Skarm. If it's unable to set hazards and whirlwind opponents while being reliable at surviving hits with Sturdy, it'll likely not surpassing it. Celesteela has better stats than Corv and just by having a different movepool has far from being capable of surpassing Skarm as a Steel/Flying type to use in competitive. If anything Corv is going to carve its own niche in whatever format it finds it home in. Though this could change, I doubt Corv will have the movepool to outclass Skarm at its job in comp, not does it have the ability to be even capable of outclassing Celesteela outside of defensive abilities and Roost. Given the similarities, it'll likely have a Pressure Stall set that'll try to replace the hole left by Celesteela since Celesteela is obviously going to be snapped for Sword and Shield and will be forced to fill in for Skarm if Skarm doesn't make it (and I doubt he will be left out).

It'll depend on what movepool Corv has. If it can't set up dual hazards, whirlwind out important threats, and reliably survives hit like Skarm can with Sturdy, it'll likely not surpass Skarm. Celesteela which has better stats than Skarm and from what we know has superior stats to Corv hasn't been close to outclassing the relevance of Skarm due to the fact of movepool and abilities. If anything Corv is going to carve it's own niche in whatever tier it finds its home in. Though this can change, I doubt Corv will have the movepool and ability to pull some of the stuff Skarm does which makes it an integral mon in the first place and will likely be unable to outclass some of the shit Celesteela does outside of defensive abilities and Roost. Corv will likely be a pressure staller which will try to fill in the hole Celesteela leaves in the meta since it's guaranteed to be snapped from Gen 8 and if Skarmory doesn't make it (I doubt that Skarm won't make it), Corv will have to try to fill both in.

I don't know if you can count on Skarmory being in. It's only popular in competitive, and only singles at that, which Game Freak doesn't give a shit about.

This is more based on the region Galar is based on. Given the colder and more mountainous terrain, I have little doubt that Skarm will get the axe since Skarm in earlier games have been shown to be living in or near rocky, mountainous terrain like on the volcanic ash route in Hoenn or the outer routes of Blackthorn in Johto.
