Under Trick Room, Cursola's terrible Speed becomes its best asset — it 'outspeeds' nearly everything when turns are reversed. And it hits hard enough to make that matter. Normal and Fighting moves can't touch it, and only 2 types hit it super-effectively.
Cursola's all-in on Sp. Atk at the expense of Speed. The special lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 2 Sp. Atk EVs and follows a fast 800K XP curve.

Cursola Weakness
ExcellentCursola is weak to Ghost and Dark. On the flip side, it's immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves entirely. Cursola's special bulk (base 130 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
Cursola is the evolved form of Corsola. Breeding produces Corsola eggs, and they're average hatch time. Evolving from Corsola gave Cursola the biggest boost in Sp.Atk (+80), bringing the total to 510 stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Cursola to get Corsola eggs easily from the Water1 and Water3 egg groups.

Cursola has a 510 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier — a situational pick that fills a niche. It works best as a wallbreaker. Base 145 Sp. Atk is where it shines.
Corsola evolves into Cursola at level 38. Cursola is the fully evolved form. At 510 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.
Weak Armor is the go-to ability for Cursola. It raises Speed and lowers Defense by one stage each upon being hit by a physical move. Its hidden ability Perish Body can work in specific setups.
Cursola fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 145 Sp. Atk. Base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Cursola can be found in Winds & Waves and Sword & Shield.
Introduced in Sword & Shield, Cursola has appeared in 2 games across 3 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
