Corsola is a great Stealth Rock setter due to its dual recovery in Regenerator and Recover, allowing it to have the best longevity of any entry hazard setter in the ZU metagame. Corsola's typing and access to Regenerator allow it to pivot into and wall common physical attackers such as Persian, Galarian Linoone, and Swords Dance Silvally-Ice and punish them with Rocky Helmet. Toxic is used to cripple common switch-ins such as Gourgeist-L, Shiinotic, and Whiscash as well as bulky entry hazard removers such as Vullaby, Wartortle, and Vibrava. Leftovers can be used over Rocky Helmet to increase Corsola's already great longevity and decrease the likelihood of 2HKOs from Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Stonjourner.

Corsola fits on balance and stall builds, where its fantastic recovery and physical bulk allow it to reliably keep Stealth Rock up for its teammates throughout the game. Special attackers such as Beheeyem, Silvally-Ice, and Raichu all pressure Corsola out, so special walls such as Klang, Dusclops, and Lickitung are greatly appreciated. Grass-types such as offensive Gourgeist-L, Bellossom, and Shiinotic are also a problem for Corsola, so Grass-resistant Pokemon such as Vullaby, Klang, and Vespiquen are good teammates. Despite its bulk, Corsola is still threatened by physical attackers such as Grapploct, Krokorok, and Machoke, so Pokemon such as Shiinotic and defensive Gourgeist-L are great partners. Corsola isn't that bothered by Knock Off and has a great matchup versus Persian and Galarian Linoone, which is useful for Eviolite-holding teammates like Ivysaur and Hippopotas that would otherwise be crippled by Knock Off.

Corsola is a great Stealth Rock setter due its dual recovery in Regenerator and Recover, allowing it to have the best longevity of any hazard setter in the ZU meta (clarifying). Corsola's typing and Regenerator ability allow it to pivot into and wall common physical attackers such as Persian, Galarian Linoone, and Swords Dance Silvally-Ice and punish them with Rocky Helmet. Toxic is used to cripple common switch-ins such as Gourgeist-L, Shiinotic, and Leafeon that aim to take advantage of its dual weakness to Grass, (AC) or and also deters bulky hazard removers such as Vullaby, Wartortle, or and Vibrava. (You have leftovers slashed, probs should mention it helps with longevity and makes it less likely for Choice Scarf Stonjourner to 2HKO with Earthquake)

Corsola fits on balance and stall builds, where its fantastic recovery and physical bulk allow it to reliably keep Stealth Rock up for its teammates throughout the game. Special attackers such as Beheeyem, Special (you already clarified special attackers earlier) Silvally-Ice, and Raichu all pressure Corsola out, so special walls such as Lickitung Togetic (relevancy), Klang, and Dusclops to switch into are greatly appreciated. Grass-types (Add hyphen) such as offensive Gourgeist-L (defensive sets tend to not run Grass attacks), Bellossom, and Shiinotic are also a problem for Corsola, so resists such as Vullaby, Klang, and Vespiquen are good teammates. Despite its bulk, Corsola is still threatened by physical attackers such as Grapploct, Krokorok, and Machoke, so Pokemon such as Shiinotic and Gloom defensive Gourgeist-L are great switch-ins (relevancy). Corsola isn't that bothered by getting Knocked Off hit by Knock Off and has a great matchup versus Persian and Galarian Linoone, which is useful for Eviolite teammates like Ivysaur and Hippoptas who would otherwise be crippled by it.

QC 1/2! Awesome work. Some Low examples like Lickitung and Gloom were replaced by higher-ranked, general teammate examples in Togetic and defensive Gourgeist-L, respectively. Low ranks can still be used for specific scenarios or reasons, but here its better to include the upper ranks for general purposes.

Corsola is a great Stealth Rock setter due its dual recovery in Regenerator and Recover, allowing it to have the best longevity of any hazard setter in the ZU metagame. Corsola's typing and access to (reworded this, up to you to change) Regenerator ability allowS it to pivot into and wall common physical attackers such as Persian, Galarian Linoone, and Swords Dance Silvally-Ice and punish them with Rocky Helmet. Toxic is used to cripple common switch-ins such as Gourgeist-L, Shiinotic, and Trevenant (Trev has natural cure, I'd mention Palpitoad or Whiscash here, since Toxic isn't only for grass types) that aim to take advantage of its dual weakness to Grass, and deters bulky hazard removers such as Vullaby, Wartortle, and Vibrava. Leftovers can be used over Rocky Helmet to increase its already great longevity as well as decrease the likelihood of 2HKOs from Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Stonjourner.

Corsola fits better on balance and stall builds, where its fantastic recovery and physical bulk allowS it to reliably keep Stealth Rock up for its teammates throughout the game. Special attackers such as Beheeyem, Silvally-Ice, and Raichu all pressure Corsola out, so special walls such as Togetic (I don't think Togetic is the best example here since it gets overwhelmed by electrics too, maybe mention Lickitung, but put Klang and Dusclops first), Klang, and Dusclops to switch into are greatly appreciated. Grass types such as offensive Gourgeist-L, Bellossom, and Shiinotic are also a problem for Corsola, so resists such as Vullaby, Klang, and Vespiquen are good teammates. Despite its bulk, Corsola is still threatened by physical attackers such as Grapploct, Krokorok, and Machoke, so Pokemon such as Shiinotic and defensive Gourgeist-L are great partners switch-ins. Corsola isn't that bothered by getting hit by Knock Off and has a great matchup versus Persian and Galarian Linoone, which is useful for Eviolite teammates like Ivysaur and HippopOtas who would otherwise be crippled by it.

Knock Off.
