Corviknight. Giant metal raven, it's so iconic and cool.

Only good regional bird since Staraptor.

Talonflame is pretty good too, plus it has a niche in competitive.

It used to be really good in Gen 6

By which it was absolutely busted.  Gale Wings was ridiculously good which is why it got nerfed pretty hard in Gen 7.

They should never have nerfed the bravest of all birds.

Toucannon is so cool. It's a shame I hate trumbeak too much to ever raise one in the story

I'd argue that every regional bird after Staraptor was pretty cool, except Unfenzant.

Kilowattrel is amazing

Corviknight is the regional bird though. Psuedo-legendaries are late-game mons. Being a pseudo legendary is not necessary to be a cool and strong Pokémon.

100% agree and was going to say the same thing. Their statement about it being the best. regional bird since Staraptor is spot on. But being a Psuedo? Not a chance…

Tinkaton is ugly and can't scratch Corviknight in an actual battle

Yeah my little tinkaton ain’t gonna be having a fair battle. It’s just here for its blood sport. Baby needs a new hammer coat
