Is Corsola Good in Black 2 & White 2 Playthrough?

Water/Rock with AbilityNatural Cure. Wild on surfing routes. No evolution. Decent bulk for mid-game but the offenses are too low to contribute past Skyla. A stepping stone you replace.

B2W2 Corsola Best Moveset

Water/Rock at 95/95 defenses provides balanced bulk, and AbilityRegenerator as a hidden ability heals a third of HP on every switch. The moveset absorbs hits and recovers through rotation, but 55/65 offenses can't threaten anything that stays in. Defensive without teeth.

Moves List

Breeding's the move. Amnesia and Aqua Ring give Corsola options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 7 types already covers a decent range on top of Head Smash and Stone Edge. The egg moves push it further.

Pokemon Black 2 / Pokemon White 2

Corsola Black 2 & White 2 Guide

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Corsola isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Cursola to unlock its full potential. At 390 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Corsola's biggest threats include Venusaur (Grass), Jolteon (Electric), and Hitmonlee (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Venusaur is the most dangerous since Grass moves deal 4x damage. Ground-type attackers are also a problem. At base 35 Speed, Corsola won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Run Regenerator on Corsola. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Corsola also gets Hustle and Natural Cure, but they don't compare.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Regenerator is the hidden ability. It heals for 1/3 max HP upon switching out. Worth hunting for if you want Corsola to compete at a higher level.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Corsola fills the balanced role. It's a mixed attacker with base 55 Attack and 65 Sp. Atk. Base 35 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

Game Availability

Corsola first appeared in Gold & Silver and spans 17 games across 9 generations. It later gained a Galarian form in Generation 8, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
