Corsola (Update)

[Overview]

<p>Corsola is a very poor Pokemon. She has an amazing movepool, but her bad typing and terrible stats cause her to be outclassed by the vast majority of UU. Her movepool is amazing, but her terrible stats restrict her from using it. She does have some merit as a defensive Pokemon with access to Recover, usable defenses, and Natural Cure as her ability, but there is still almost always a better option than Corsola. If you can find something better than Corsola, use it.</p>

[SET]
name: Defensive
move 1: Recover
move 2: Toxic
move 3: Surf
move 4: Stealth Rock / Reflect
item: Leftovers
ability: Natural Cure
nature: Bold
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD

[Set Comments]

<p>Corsola generally isn't a Pokemon you'd want to use competitively (spelling), but if you choose to do so, this set is her best option. She has usable defenses along with Recover, something that Omastar lacks. Corsola also has resistances to Rock-, Fire-, Flying-, and Normal-type attacks, making her usable as a supporter. Stealth Rock and Toxic give Corsola something to support her teammates with, and Natural Cure helps remove status upon switching out.</p>

[Additional Comments]

<p>Corsola can run Explosion with a Relaxed nature along with Explosion to go out with a bang, though her poor Attack stat means even this won't deal a lot of damage. Sandstorm support from Hippopotas may be helpful to raise her Special Defense, turning her into a "tank". Finally, a spinblocker is neccessary to stop Stealth Rock being removed from the field, making Mismagius and Spirtomb good partners.</p>

<p>As Corsola has a 4x weakness to Grass-type attacks, a Pokemon who can switch into Grass-types is essential. Venusaur can switch into most Grass-types and threaten them with Energy Ball or Leaf Storm, Moltres can scorch them with its STAB Fire-type attacks, and Altaria can simply set up against them, while Natural Cure relieves her of any status upon switching out.</p>

[Team Options]

<p>Bulky Water-types like Milotic and Slowbro cause problems, so packing an Electric-type like Magneton or Rotom is a good choice to break through them. Venusaur and Cacturne are also good options, hitting bulky Water-types super effectively, or draining them with Leech Seed. Toxic Spikes are also helpful, slowly crippling bulky Pokemon with increasing damage.</p>

<p>Fire-types like Moltres and Arcanine are helpful as they help blast through Grass-types like Venusaur. RestTalk Arcaning is an excellent choice as he can switch into Sleep Power. Blaziken is another good option as he can run a mixed set, destroying both physical and special walls. Finally, Altaria can switch into Grass-type attacks with her 4x resistance and set up with Dragon Dance.</p>

[Optional Changes]

<p>Due to Corsola's poor stats, she's mainly an "other options" Pokemon. Calm Mind can be used alongside Power Gem, Surf, and Earth Power, though Corsola lacks the Speed and power necessary to be effective. Choice items may be utilized to boost her low attacking stats, though this is restricting her even further. Mirror Coat is available to surprise special attackers, though Corsola isn't likely to survive any sort of hit. Reflect and Light Screen can be used along with Recover, helping Corsola support her teammates. Curse may be used with max Special Defense, just make sure all Grass-types are eliminated. Aqua Ring can be used to restore small amounts of health, though Recover is much more reliable. Amnesia can raise Corsola's Special Defense, and she also has Rock Polish to boost her Speed. Rock Blast can be used with Hustle, dealing multiple hits and breaking Focus Sash, though Hustle lowers its accuracy to 60%. Endeavor and Sucker Punch are usable with a Focus Sash, but this strategy is unreliable. Finally, Corsola can utilize a Rindo Berry to weaken Grass-type attacks, but this requires maximum EVs in a single defensive stat. (This last sentence doesn't make sense, since the main set does max Defense)</p>

[Counters]

<p>Corsola is beaten by almost everything in the game barring Luvdisc, though Grass-types are the most threatening. Anything that doesn't mind being poisoned can switch into Corsola and KO her easily. Basically, any Pokemon who doesn't mind being poisoned and can hit Corsola super effectively is a counter.</p>
