Corviknight weaknesses in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Corviknight is a Flying/Steel-type Pokemon, which means it’s weak against Electric and Fire-type attacks.

If you don’t have any Pokemon with these move types, you can try using Dark, Fighting, Ghost, Ice, Rock, or Water-type attacks as Corviknight receives neutral damage from these.

Side note: If you’re battling a Corviknight that has terastallized its weaknesses will be different. You can use our type chart to help you out there.

Corviknight resistances in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Corviknight is resistant to Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Grass, Normal, Psychic, and Steel-type attacks so it’s best to avoid using these where possible.

It’s also completely immune to Ground and Poison-type attacks, so there’s no point trying to use these as you’ll just be wasting a turn.

Corviknight’s weaknesses and resistances are the same across all mainline Pokemon games including Sword & Shield, so the same information applies there.
