OU Corsola-Galar (QC 2/2) (GP 1/1)

1574689252298.png


[SET]
name: Defensive
move 1: Will-O-Wisp
move 2: Strength Sap
move 3: Stealth Rock
move 4: Night Shade
item: Eviolite
ability: Cursed Body
nature: Bold
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD


[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.

We only use hazard numbers and such if the Pokemon is excessively weak to them, which isn't the case for Galarian Corsola. Besides that, 248 HP investment doesn't even minimize damage from hazards on Galarian Corsola anyways.

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 hazard removal in the tier. Night Shade is chosen in the last slot to make Galarian Corsola not become complete Taunt bait while also denying Substitutes from Pokemon like Gyarados and Hawlucha. Add Corviknight as an example of a Substitute user. Without Night Shade, it'd just be able to set Substitutes against Galarian Corsola for free. The EVs maintain as much physical bulk as possible while minimizing residual damage. Make sure to change this accordingly. Haze can potentially 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, Cinderance, and Corviknight. Mandibuzz and Corviknight have particularly good defensive synergy with Galarian Corsola and can act as backup checks for physical attackers so it doesn’t get overwhelemed while the former even handles Dragapult and Gengar. Wish Clefable can absorb Knock Off, check Hydreigon and Mandibuzz, and heal Galarian Corsola while in return Galarian Corsola frees Clefable from having to run Stealth Rock and handles Excadrill. Toxapex brings a safe pivot to Toxic and can clear stat boosts from Pokemon like Gyarados and Bulk Up Corviknight. It even clears Toxic Spikes from the field while spreading Toxic and Toxic Spikes itself. Ferrothorn can form a good hazard stacking core with Galarian Corsola while handling strong special attackers like Indeedee, Hatterene, and Nasty Plot Rotom-W. Ditto is able to keep most setup sweepers at bay while appreciating Galarian Corsola getting up Stealth Rock for it. Hippowdon checks Toxtricity, Gengar, and Tyranitar while even being able to potentially run Stealth Rock so Galarian Corsola can use Haze and brings sand to stack residual damage alongside Galarian Corsola.

While I appreciate the thoroughness in examples, this needs to be cut down to about 3-5 sentences. This is only a preview analyses, so naming this many teammates is excessive.

I want to make sure the team options are handled correctly before stamping this.

Redundant.

Hippowdon checks Toxtricity, Gengar, and Tyranitar while even being able to potentially run Stealth Rock so Galarian Corsola can use Haze and brings sand to stack residual damage alongside Galarian Corsola. Not really worth noting; get rid of it.
