[SET COMMENTS]
Galarian Corsola is the best physically defensive wall in the metagame due to high defensive stats, a pure Ghost typing, and the limited distribution of Knock Off. 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. Night Shade is used to avoid making Galarian Corsola complete Taunt bait, and it lets Galarian Corsola deny Substitutes from Pokemon like Haunter. The last slot varies on team selection; Haze should be used when you are already running a Pokemon with Stealth Rock, and it allows Galarian Corsola to not be setup fodder against Pokemon like Klang, Rufflet, and Hattrem, which take advantage of Galarian Corsola's passivity. Otherwise Stealth Rock is a solid choice, since Galarian Corsola's Ghost typing deters spinners like Carkol and Drilbur. Galarian Corsola fits on balance 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 hazard control like Hattrem, Gurdurr, and Vullaby, with the latter two having particularly good defensive synergy with Galarian Corsola. Steel-types and Ferroseed sets up Spikes to form a entry hazard-stacking core. Fighting-types like Gurdurr and Machoke take advantage of the Dark and Normal-types that can deal with Galarian Corsola, most notably Galarian Linoone.
