Biology

Corviknight are large, raven-like Pokémon with steel bodies resembling knight armor who are frequently used to taxi people around the Galar region through the transit system known as Flying Taxi. This job cannot be done in the Paldea region because they are popular targets for Tinkaton.

Design & origin

Corviknight's design draws inspiration from the legend of ravens guarding the Tower of London.

Forms

Gigantamax Corviknight

Gigantamax Corviknight grows to more than 14 m (46 ft) in height. Its cluster of ruffed throat feathers becomes larger, and its wings are streaked with red-colored Dynamax energy.

Eight red glowing birds made of Dynamax Energy, known as Blade Birds, are launched from its body to attack foes independently. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Wind Rage.
