[SET DESCRIPTION]
This set lets Galarian Corsola be a good physical wall due to its very high Eviolite-boosted bulk and decent defensive typing that lets it check Pokemon like Gyarados, Hawlucha, Excadrill, and Conkeldurr. Will-O-Wisp and Strength Sap both help cripple the physical attackers this set is meant to check, with the latter also giving Galarian Corsola a decently reliable form of recovery. Galarian Corsola is a good Stealth Rock setter due to its bulk and ability to block Rapid Spin from Excadrill, which is one of the most common forms of entry hazard removal in the tier. Night Shade is chosen in the last slot to avoid making Galarian Corsola complete Taunt bait as well as deny Substitutes from Pokemon like Gyarados, Hawlucha, and Corviknight. Haze can be run over Stealth Rock to stop setup from physical attackers should you have another Stealth Rock setter, but it's usually better to leave handling setup sweepers to Galarian Corsola's teammates.
Galarian Corsola fits on balance and stall teams that appreciate its ability to blanket check many physical attackers and set Stealth Rock reliably. Due to its lack of recovery outside of Strength Sap and vulnerability to all entry hazards, Galarian Corsola works well with entry hazard removers like Mandibuzz and Cinderace, the former of which has particularly good defensive synergy with Galarian Corsola, as it can handle Dragapult and Gengar as well as act as a backup check for physical attackers so Galarian Corsola doesn't get overwhelmed. Ferrothorn can form a good hazard stacking core with Galarian Corsola while handling strong special attackers like Rotom-W, Toxtricity, and Polteageist, while Galarian Corsola handles Fighting-types like Hawlucha and Conkeldurr for it.
