Corviknight is a Stage 2 Metal Pokémon with 170 HP. In the Pokédex this is Corviknight (#823), generation 8 (Galar). The card says it evolves from Corvisquire. In this catalog that name is Corvisquire (#822).

The earliest other card is Corviknight V SWSH200/307 in SWSH Black Star Promos (2019). That card is named Corviknight V, while this one is Corviknight.

I keep a set binder for Sword & Shield, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sword & Shield set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Corviknight can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). I still need this card.
