I suggest using PvPoke, plug these IVs into the Matrix Battle against next season’s GL meta. See if any of them get/lose Bulkpoints or Breakpoints.

Pvpoke run the matrix

Lots of people are suggesting to use the PvPoke matrix feature to compare results. While this is a fine method, keep in mind that it’s limited. You’re looking for matchup changes due to the IVs of your Corviknight, but PvPoke doesn’t factor in all the potential changes due to the IVs of the opponent as well, so you’re still not getting a complete picture.
Getting a fuller picture is possible but requires a lot of tedious work, testing various ranges of IVs in various important/common matchups. You can see some examples of this kind of breakdown in Gamepress’ IV Deep Dives:
**However**, I would not recommend pursuing this line of analysis. The problem is that these breakdowns are only applicable for a short time. They are about specific Pokemon using specific moves, examining how minor IV changes could mean reaching certain breakpoints or bulkpoints that flip a match. But all of those things change regularly. Moves get nerfed or buffed, new Pokemon get released, the meta changes. It throws all that hard work out the window.
Knowing all this, the best option for most people is probably to balance the basic stat product ranking with affordability considerations (e.g. if something is already at the level it needs to be, maybe that’s better for you than a higher ranked option at level 1). If you’re a highly competitive PvP player grinding the ladder or competing at Worlds, *then* it might be worth building specific spreads for important short-term scenarios.

Did they force the matching weather again? I hope not.

Probably best off waiting for December and hoping it isn’t weather boosted then

A few have said to use PvPoke, that is the most accurate (and hardworking) way.
I myself just plug the numbers into PvPIVs and use the highest rank (not always accurate, like in mirror matches you’d want at least one attack IV more to get your charge move first).

That 100% is definitely worth a look!

Then you have this post telling you not to spend too much time on IVs but on other areas of battling:

Just used a rank #35 Corviknight in UL and frankly it beats a lot of other rank #1 Pokemons (JRE highlighted 3 double resistances and 7 single resistances vs 2 single weaknesses)

TL;DR – It depends.
