::::We could say that it has traits of various corvids, such as jackdaws and ravens, which are both native to the British isles. Personally I agree with it being more raven-like with its build and size but its crest resembles a jackdaw's more.

:::::Jackdaws lack the hooked beak that both Corviknight and Ravens share. Corviknight also displays characteristic raven chin fluff. The page should be amended to reflect the inspiration was clearly the common raven.[[User:Darktornaydoe|Darktornaydoe]] ([[User talk:Darktornaydoe|talk]]) 05:25, 9 June 2019 (UTC) | :::::Jackdaws lack the hooked beak that both Corviknight and Ravens share.

::::::I'm not sure who went in and immediately filled in the trivia for this page with a shoot-from-the-hip ID for the source of the inspiration in the first place, but it should really be edited to include the raven connection. The actual physical design, the specific designation of the Pokemon, and the raven's prominence in UK culture, as mentioned above, all match better than the passing resemblance with a jackdaw. I've seen the whole "Corviknight is a jackdaw" thing pop up on several YouTube videos and gaming news sites, because these "journalists" are googling Corviknight and seeing Bulbapedia's link first with this inaccurate, incomplete information. There's a similar problem with the Grookey page saying it is based on an Ecuadorian Spider Monkey: way too specific for origin trivia just because one individual with editing privileges thought they saw some similarities.

At one point Corviknight is shown in battle at level 60 with 200 HP. Calculating this reveals that it has a minimum base HP of 61 if the one shown has a 0 HP IV and 0 HP EVs and a maximum of 108 with 31 HP IV and 252 HP EVs. At and IV of 15 and 126 EVs the calculations land it at 85 which very well may be its actual base HP.

:We can't really speculate on that sort of thing at this stage. Even ignoring the fact that Sword and Shield might change the way that stats are calculated, it's possible for details like that to change between pre-release stuff and the actual the game. ~ [[User:Dannyboy601|Dannyboy601]] ([[User talk:Dannyboy601|talk]]) 02:36, 9 June 2019 (UTC) | :We can't really speculate on that sort of thing at this stage.
