Cursola is a great suicide lead with its access to Stealth Rock and immense offensive pressure. Its ability Weak Armor in conjunction with Focus Sash can give it the opportunity to boost its Speed against physical attackers like Togedemaru, Sawk, and Silvally-Water, giving it an extra turn to attack or set Stealth Rock. Hydro Pump hits common Ground-type leads like Sandaconda and Piloswine for super effective damage, while also being strong against neutral targets like Silvally-Dark and Indeedee-F. Endure can secure Weak Armor boosts if Cursola's Focus Sash has already been used. Ice Beam, alternatively, targets Drampa and Eldegoss but limits Cursola's potential to boost and scout. Maximum Speed investment with a Timid nature allows Cursola to be faster than the Silvally formes and Rapidash at +2, and at +4 Cursola can outrun Choice Scarf users like Togedemaru and Sawk.
Hyper offense teams appreciate Cursola to secure Stealth Rock or build momentum early-game. Setup sweepers like Toxicroak, Silvally-Dragon, and Klinklang rely on Stealth Rock to wear down their checks. However, Cursola may want to secure damage against attackers like Sandaconda and Silvally-Water over setting up Stealth Rock, particularly if the team's sweepers like Silvally-Fire, Rapidash, and Crustle need these threats weakened. If Cursola is kept mid-game, use it as a wallbreaker against physical walls like Cofagrigus and Quagsire. Volt Switch users like Rotom-S and Lanturn may attempt to break Cursola's Focus Sash and bring in a revenge killer; anticipate this strategy and attack potential switch-ins like Toxicroak and Gourgeist-S or block Volt Switch by switching into teammates like Lightning Rod Togedemaru and Silvally-Ground.
