Is Corviknight good in Pokemon GO PvP and PvE?

As anticipated, Corviknight is performing excellently in the Battle League. Being a Flying- and Steel-type Pokemon, much like Skarmory, Corviknight's more well-rounded stat spread has given players a lot more flexibility and offensive pressure while still keeping a tanky creature on the field with Skarmory's excellent typing.

Right now, Corviknight is dominating both the Great and Ultra League tiers of play. However, it may still need some more time before it is well-equipped for PvE content. Corviknight is one of the few monsters to receive a Gigantamax Forme in the main series, and Niantic is showing continued support for the mechanic by consistently bringing more Gigantamax Pokemon into the game.

With this in mind, players should wait until Gigantamax Corviknight comes to Pokemon GO before considering it for raid content. Outside of Max Battles, Corviknight offers little that others cannot do better. There are better choices like Origin Dialga for a Steel-type attacker or Mega Rayquaza for a Flying-type attacker.
