Galarian Corsola is a fantastic support Pokemon thanks to its expansive utility movepool, obscene bulk with Eviolite, and Ghost typing that allows it to spinblock and evade trapping from Gothitelle. It's a great Stealth Rock setter, since it finds many opportunities to set them up and can spinblock for itself. Strength Sap is essential, since it is Galarian Corsola's only form of recovery. Will-O-Wisp cripples physical attackers like Zacian-C and annoys defensive Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Corviknight that would otherwise freely switch in. Night Shade is the preferred option in the last moveslot for its consistent damage output and ability to break the Substitute of foes like Gyarados and Zacian-C. However, Hex is a viable alternative, since it deals more damage to most statused foes it hits neutrally.

Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Toxapex appreciate the spinblocking utility that Galarian Corsola provides and form entry hazard-stacking cores with it. Dark-types like Tyranitar and Hydreigon can switch into Dark- and Ghost-type attacks directed at Galarian Corsola, while it covers their Fighting-type weaknesses for them in return. Galarian Corsola is a shaky answer to Zacian-C, as it can be broken through with entry hazard support or proper prediction around Strength Sap / Will-O-Wisp, particularly if Zacian-C is running an Adamant nature or any of Substitute / Crunch / Behemoth Blade. Therefore, revenge killers like Choice Scarf Ditto and Sand Rush Excadrill are good partners, and defensive teams may want to employ a dedicated check to it like Quagsire or Hippowdon.

i would slash hex next to night shade, since in some bulkier archtypes like stall where status is spammed, hex can be proven to work well.

Other than that good.
