::::::::I too signed up an account just to agree with the two comments above. Jackdaw isn't even a commonly used English phrase to begin with, let-a-lone most from the UK calling every non-magpie/blackbird bird of black colouration a raven or crow (in my region, anyway), even if it's physically correct. Regardless of linguistic bias, it being a jackdaw in *any* case makes no sense. It's a Poké'manteau (yes, I *did* just do that) of a Raven and a Knight. Both are known to mythologically guard London, and this region is literally based on the UK. There's really nothing else to it. --[[User:Neil2250|Neil2250]] ([[User talk:Neil2250|talk]]) 19:09, 19 June 2019 (UTC) | ::::::::I too signed up an account just to agree with the two comments above.

:::::::::I signed quite a time ago but it seems to be a staple of many wikis to put the info that comes first to mind which becomes a problem when YouTubers look for reliable information. The Pokémon may be based on an specific animal and then somebody says that seems to be based on an obscure animal without any type of source that confirms it like the infamous Sceptile is based on a ''Dilophosaurus'' (not the best example though as the dino is quite well known). It's very clear that Corviknight is based in one of the Tower of London ravens plus a knight armor from the Middle Ages. Masuda, Ohmori and the team will not spend a deep and thorough research in British fauna. They will research something that catches their attention or either is a common cliché of the region it is based. If it was based on a jackdaw, they would have put its characteristic grey and black feathers and white eyes. But Corviknight is a dark blue bird like a raven. I'd like to change it but I'm afraid that my edition will get reverted.--[[User:Dent|Dent]] ([[User talk:Dent|talk]]) 01:28, 23 June 2019 (UTC) | :::::::::I signed quite a time ago but it seems to be a staple of many wikis to put the info that comes first to mind which becomes a problem when YouTubers look for reliable information.

::::::::::Corviknight seems to be based on a {{wp|valravn}} — maleficent ravens from Dutch lore who could shapeshift into knights after consuming the hearts of fallen warriors. Could we add it? And could we also add ' ''and possibly night'' ' along with ''knight'' in its name origin section? It's probably a play on both words; it's a pitch-black menace.

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.
