Galarian Corsola is a physically defensive wall whose primary purpose on Ghost teams is to set up Stealth Rock and neuter physical attackers with a combination of Will-O-Wisp and Strength Sap, which also is its form of recovery. Night Shade prevents Galarian Corsola from becoming Taunt bait and enables it to chip down foes. Its EVs and Eviolite allow it to be as physically bulky as possible, allowing it to take on threats such as Gyarados. Cursed Body can make Galarian Corsola more difficult to handle, as it can disable coverage to attack it, making it harder to KO.

Jellicent and Sableye appreciate Galarian Corsola's ability to form a strong defensive core with them and whittle down foes for offensive teammates. Jellicent can switch into Water-type attacks for it such as Lapras's Hydro Pump, while Sableye can cripple setup sweepers with Prankster Taunt as well as shut down a boosted Gyarados with Will-O-Wisp all the offensive Pokemon on Ghost teams appreciate Galarian Corsola's ability to set up Stealth Rock as it makes it easier to break through opposing Pokemon. In return, Galarian Corsola specifically appreciates Mimikyu's ability to take on Dark-type Pokemon that threaten it such as Hydreigon. Thanks to its ability to set Spikes, Froslass forms a good entry hazard stacking core with Galarian Corsola.

Name a few Pokemon that it can take better using physical defensive EVs, Gyarados is a big one.

I would mention Taunt Sableye over Substitute Sableye, I honestly think Taunt Sableye is better on Ghost and Sableye can cripple Dynamax users for Corsola to take on better anyways while you also have Mimikyu to stall them out.

QC 1/2
