#if you do get an interregional flyer corviknight DO NOT use it for battling

[drill-peck]

Are Skarmory or Crorviknight good interregional fliers? I'd believe not honestly but I'd rather ask before I assume because I'm a big fan of the steel type [^]! If not, what are some bird Pokemon who would be better at it? I don't wanna end up getting a new friend just to put them through something they can't handle in order to save a couple thousand pokedollars monthly for business trips [~,] would much rather a lighter wallet than hurtin' a new pal of mine! - @meltanfan395

skarmory definitely not. i've seen them handle the trip between johto and kanto alright but anything more than that is going to be too much for them. their wings just aren't made for it.

with corviknight i'd say it depends on the pokemon specifically. there are some breeds that have been bred for generations to handle large weights and real long distances but you need to get them from a very specific kind of breeder (and even then i'd do some serious endurance training before just expecting them to fly you to alola or wherever).

i wouldn't just catch a rookidee and expect it to be able to do that though. you might get lucky and end up with an incredibly beefy one, but i wouldn't count on it.

the problem with steel/flying types is that steel is heavy. corviknight is like 160 lbs on average and skarmory is like 110. it takes A LOT of muscle and energy to keep that much weight in the air, and then you're asking it to carry your weight in addition to its own and keep that in the air for LONG periods of time. it can be done with corviknight but like i said, you have to breed for it and the only people i know who do that are in galar.
