Corsola is technically a pre-evolution of Cursola, but it holds its own in formats where Eviolite is allowed. Regenerator recovers a third of its HP every time it switches out, adding extra value. It works well under Trick Room.
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.
Corsola’s branches glitter very beautifully in seven colors when they catch sunlight. If any branch breaks off, this Pokémon grows it back in just one night.
Clusters of Corsola congregate in warm seas where they serve as ideal hiding places for smaller Pokémon. When the water temperature falls, this Pokémon migrates to the southern seas.
Corsola Weakness
VulnerableType-wise, Corsola takes extra damage from Grass, Electric, Fighting, and Ground. Watch out for Grass attacks, those deal 4x damage. It resists 5 types, giving it decent defensive coverage.

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.

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.
Corsola appears in 16 games, including Gold & Silver, Crystal, and Ruby & Sapphire.
Corsola first appeared in Gold & Silver and spans 16 games across 8 generations. It later gained a Galarian form in Generation 8, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
