Origin
Rather than a jackdaw, it's more likely that it is based on the common raven. They are the largest corvids found in Britain and live in the Tower of London. There is an English legend that England would not fall to invaders as long as there were ravens at the Tower of London, further tying in to its "Knight" aesthetic. Also, the official page on pokemon.com refers to it as the "Raven Pokemon".
- While your other points may be valid (though Corviknight could be a mix of this and that for that matter), Pokémon categories are not a good source of origin. Grookey was determined to not be a chimp, and Bidoof is clearly not a mouse, for example. Also, don't forget to sign your comments with four tildes! Kikugi (talk) 00:23, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
