Corviknight (Japanese: アーマーガア, HepburnAamaagaa) (KOR-vih-nyte[1]) is a Flying/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII. It also has a Gigantamax form.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Corviknight resembles a large, dark blue, armored raven or crow. The "mask" on its face in its previous forms now resembles a helmet, with peaks on the top and extending over its beak. The lower half of its beak is dark gray. The white markings beneath its eyes are now black, but its eyes remain small and red. Its neck is covered in dark blue armor at the back but has thick feathers in front, while its belly and covert feathers are armored. Its upper legs and four-toed talons are also armored, while its lower legs are dark gray.

In its Gigantamax form, its main difference from its previous form is that it is bigger. However, under its wings are red markings. Corviknight is now accompanied by what appears to be 4 red bird-like objects that help it attack. Like all Gigantamax Pokémon, Corviknight also has red clouds above its head.

Behavior[]

Often being seen fearlessly soaring through the air, Corviknight is regarded as the strongest Pokémon living in the skies of the Galar region. With just a sharp glare and cry from this fearsome Pokémon, any Pokémon which are foolish enough to challenge them are sent cowering in tremendous fear.

Corviknight are also intelligent creatures, capable of using tools and solving problems through intuition. These taciturn Pokémon are always keenly observing their surroundings. Corviknight in fact pay attention to the body language of passerby in order to determine whether they intend to cause trouble before they even pick a fight. In some regions such as Galar, they are employed as taxi Pokémon because of their directional intuition and their stamina. Because of their reputation, Corviknight are commonly used as emblems to represent intellect and power. They also have less of a temper and are thus preferred over Braviary for the Flying Taxi service in Galar.

In Paldea, Corviknight are instead substituted by Squawkabilly as Flying Taxis, as Corviknight are targeted by its natural predator: Tinkaton who likes to hit them out of the sky with rocks launched from their hammers for fun, which could endanger the driver and passenger(s).

Natural Abilities[]

Corviknight possesses superb flying skills and high intelligence, which can be helpful for transportation purposes. Corviknight is the only Pokémon that can learn the ability Mirror Armor.

Evolution[]

It evolves from Corvisquire starting at level 38 and is the final form of Rookidee.

Pokémon Sword
  • This Pokémon reigns supreme in the skies of the Galar region. The black luster of its steel body could drive terror into the heart of any foe.

Pokémon Shield
  • With their great intellect and flying skills, these Pokémon very successfully act as the Galar region's airborne taxi service.
  • Gigantamax: The eight feathers on its back are called blade birds, and they can launch off its body to attack foes independently.
Pokémon Scarlet Corviknight can’t serve as a taxi service in Paldea because the Pokémon’s natural predators will attack it while it flies, endangering the customer.
Pokémon Violet Although its wings have partly turned to steel and become heavy as a result, this Pokémon flies through the skies with ease.

    Anime[]

    A Corviknight species debuted in "Legend? Go! Friends? Go!".

    Corviknight's first major role is on the web-series Pokémon: Twilight Wings, as one of the two titular recurring characters alongside its trainer, a Taxi Driver.

    Main[]

    Trivia[]

    • Corviknight's Pokédex entry in Pokémon Sword mentions that its Gigantamx form can whip up winds stronger than a hurricane. However, not only does Corviknight only learn Hurricane though TR, but its low Sp. Atk of base 53 gives the move very little damage potential.
    • Corviknight and Orbeetle both have the shortest Gigantamax forms, only measuring 45 feet 11 inches in height.
      • Coincidentally, both of their evolution families are right next to each other in the National Pokédex.

    Origin[]

    Corviknight is based on a raven or crow and a knight, most specifically a Black Knight. Its feathers are similar to armor with its head resembling a helmet. It could also be based on the "black bird" sprite that appears in the previous games when the Fly HM is used.

    Etymology[]

    Corviknight comes from corvid and knight.

    Its Japanese name, Āmāgā, comes from a (raven), armor and gaagaa (Japanese onomatopoeia for a crow squawking).
