Corsola's spread favors balanced defenses over offense. Defense leads the defensive side, Speed eats the cost. Yields 2 Defense and Sp. Def EVs per defeat. Fast 800K XP curve to level.
Many live in the clean seas of the south. They apparently can’t live in polluted waters.

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 410 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
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.
Corsola evolves into Cursola at level 38. Corsola is the base form of this evolutionary line.
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.
Corsola fills the support role. It's a special attacker with base 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.
