If it’s at all similar to Skarmory and it has a decent movepool it’ll be fine. The G-Max form might be useful too

Not if it's stats are bad, because the ability's wording implies that stat-boosts are also reflected

Mirror Armor does seem to be a pretty great ability

People are always going on about Corviknight vs Skarmory but I feel like that's a hard thing to get down considering just how good Skarmory is

Of course Landorus is BTFO.

Not because of Corviknight or anything, but because it's not gonna be in the god damn game.

I'd like it better if Corviknight and Skarmory fulfilled different roles instead of just being the same dude

Skarmory has Corviknight's estimated stats. Brave Bird is a 4HKO, but you're slower and will flinch at least once.

From the E3 demo, it seems to be a slightly faster, bulkier Skarmory.

Why would you ever switch Landorus into Corviknight to begin with? Since you’re switching Corviknight *into* the Intimidaters you’re not getting any value out of it, Pressure is way better for stalling out Stealth Rock PP.

Mirror Armor is for doubles, just use Pressure in singles.

Does that only count non-attacking moves, or moves that attack and lower status like Icy Wind?

"ANY stat lowering effects from Abilities or moves" suggests that secondary effects like Icy Wind will be included. Can't be sure, but it sounds likely. Would help to differentiate this from being a less powerful Magic Bounce.
