No. 222: Corsola

I love how people keep forgetting Corosla is a rock type. c'mon, people.

I think a coral Pokemon is a neat idea, and Corsola handles it well. If it didn't have eyes, you'd probably think it was just a piece of coral, but BAM it's a Pokemon, bitch.

It always strikes me as strange, though, that Corsola appears to not be able to move her body at all. In the Stadium games, she just kinda bonks around statically, like a plastic toy you dropped as it settles. But she doesn't seem to have any points of articulation.

So how does she move? I suspect Corsolas are hollow. Inside, there is a lot of water, and Corsola moves by contracting their insides to throw the water around. Like, you know when you have a half-full milk jug and you slide it, then it stops and then slides a little more because of the milk sloshing around? Imagine if the milk could slosh itself around. That could create movement.

and I really wish Corosla evolved into some sort of multi-cannoned coral battle fortress or something.

Overall: 7/10
