Corsola's cute.

Mirror Coat
Focus Sash
Brave
Regenerator
252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Spd

Mirror Coat
Earthquake
Explosion
Stone Edge

This set requires good predicting skills. Focus Sash is a sure thing to keep you from fainting. If your'e hit with like a SolarBeam, Energy Ball, or some kind of strong Special Move, you can use Mirror Coat and pretty much kill them. Then you can either hit hard with a series of powerful moves. With Eqrthquake you have almost a third of the types covered then with Stone Edge you can hit Flying Types, annoying Pokemon with Levitate and provide more coverage. If you feel like it, Explosion always puts a dent into a player's team and you're not gonna get much use out of Corsola. That is unless you switch out and get 33.3% of your healt hback with tis ability Regenrator. This set needs Trick Room so your Corsola can outrun anything. Otherwise, you won't have to to land another hit before you faint if you use Mirror Coat.

Maybe this to be a (sort of) offensively threatening tank:

Tankola
Corsola@Rocky Helmet/Leftovers
Natural Cure
252 HP/190 Atk/62 SAtk
Naughty/Hasty Nature
-Recover
-Surf
-Stone Edge
-Earthquake

This tank is focused more on offense than defense. I don't really know RU/NU that well, but this seems good. Max HP for survivability, Natural Cure over Regenerator because it already has Recover and status will cripple it otherwise. More Attack Ev's than SAtk because this Corsola is more inclined to physical moves.

Sigilyph is awesome! Please, let Sigilyph be the POTW!
Sigilyph can learn amazing moves such as Mirror Move and Ice Beam. My Sigilyph knows the former. Sigilyph can have Magic Guard, protecting it from any form of damage, other than damage through attacks.

It's random so you can't pick pokemon.

Corsola have the moveset to make a crazy offensive Pokemon, but hilariously bad offensive stats to pair it with.

Corsola have the moveset to make a crazy offensive Pokemon, but hilariously bad offensive stats to pair it with.

That said, Corsola does very well on offense if its Moves carry added effects, hence Scald on so many sets, Body Slam for Paralysis, Icy Wind and Bulldoze for Speed support over Ice Beam and EQ's damage, Swagger, Toxic, etc., etc., etc.

Even so, you won't usually want to use more than one or two offensive moves on a Corsola. It's hard to pull an offensive Corsola because you won't really do that much damage no matter what, and with offensive Corsola you aren't investing as much into bulk, which already isn't that great for a Rock-type/Bulky Water, so defensive is really the way to go, and even there it kind of struggles. And those Speed drops won't really matter since Corsola is incredibly slow. Although a Trick Room team might welcome a Corsola if it's defensive.

Fun Fact.. Hustle Corsola Head Smash hits 30% harder than Tyranitar Stone Edge.. with an amazing 64% accuracy.
