If Skarmory were to come back in the DLC, how will it compare to Corviknight?

What if it got a gmax with a flying type move that can set a layer of spikes so you can get all the stacks in if you use all your attacks on it

Corvi is for plebs. Skarm's Spikes and faster Taunt will show it who's the best bird.

Skarm has more utility by having defog, being able to set rocks/spikes while also having whirlwind, better bulk and has roost too
And, imo, Sturdy > Mirror Armor

in terms of design, imo corviknight is a lot better than skarmory. something about skarmory gives me an off vibe, but he still looks cool
stat wise, corviknight still can do massive attack and can tank special attacks even

Can this shit end already? It won't compare to corv at all. Corv is bulky attacker, skarm is physical wall, there's zero common things between them outside of being a steel/flying bird

It's because Skarmory doesn't really look like a bird, it's more ambiguous™, and doesn't really resemble any real-life bird despite having traits of one. While Corviknight is basically a raven covered in metal feathers. Yeah, you could say it's "literally my mom's raven", but ravens are fucking cool-looking.

Skarmory is too passive and hyper specialized for pure phydef to see any use outside of hard stall.
Corviknight's mixed bulk and access to U-turn makes it a staple pick for bulky offense and balance, with the added versatility of it's bulk up sets letting it serve an offensive role.

Worse , the only thing that set it apart is that It learns stealth rock and spikes but that job can easily be relegated to other mons.

I think Skarm is a crane but it has teeth for whatever reason. Hurts the design in my opinion.

Pretty sure Skarm does not have U-Turn, meaning it can't escape Magnet Pull.

Depends on your use.
Skarm has spikes, rocks, and Taunt, Corvi is the better body, and has U-Turn to escape magnet pull.
If you just want the bulky pivot, Corvi is your go to. If you want the support and field control, you go Skarm. If you don't care, and already have something else on hazard duty, Corvi's better body and ability to not just fucking die to Magnezone is better than anything else Skarm brings.

I think Corvi has a weak edge over Skarm, but this edge is very much negotiable based on the needs of your team.

Skarmory is more about walling and doing shit with hazards and other effects

Corviknight gets taunt and defog too, but it does the Bulk Up thing

Corviknight is better in pretty much every way except setting Spikes. Setting Spikes is enough of a niche though, so Skarm will still fit on some builds better even though Corviknight is inarguably the 'default' pick.

In NatDex OU Corviknight is A- rank and Skarmory is fucking C rank

With shit like boots and Corvi cockblocking all hazard setters, along with boots Volcarona and Hatterene being around, Skarm is dead weight.

>better bulk
Sure it takes 1% less from physical attacks than Corvi does, but Corviknight can actually do damage and can eat a special attack without melting.

You're forgetting Skarm has pisspoor HP- its phys bulk and Corviknight's are nearly identical.

Skarmory was far too passive and was already becoming a meme pick in USUM OU by the end of things. With all of the legendaries that threaten it coming back, plus new ways to stop caring about hazards, and physical attackers it can't even check like the draco-abominations, I can't imagine it being good in the tier at all.

It needs Body Press to compensate for its passivity or it's going to be irrelevant.

Skarmory was getting better late in USUM's life, not worse. People figured out how to make the fat Spiking builds it fits best on work.
