How to catch Corsola in Pokémon Go

Normally Corsola is a regional exclusive Pokémon which spawns in locations close to the equator.

It has been known to appear occasionally in other parts of the world as part of in-game events, such as the Safari Zone Dortmund event in 2018.

Pokémon Go Tour: Johto in February 2022 is one such event where, alongside Heracross, Corsola can be battled in raids and, if defeated, hopefully caught. (If it escapes, you'll need to battle it again!)

Catching Corsola is crucial to one of the Go Tour: Johto Collection Challenges - Raid - so, even if it's already in your Pokédex, make sure you take the time to catch one.

Everything else we know about Corsola

Corsola debuted in Pokémon Silver and Gold as part of Gen 2. In Pokémon Go, Corsola is a regionally exclusive Pokémon that can be found in tropical areas near the equator.

As you can probably tell, both Corsola's name and appearance was inspired by coral, with this Pokémon being a living Pokémonification of the marine invertebrates.

With the release of Gen 8 in Pokémon Sword and Shield, Corsola gained both a Galarian variant and an evolution - Cursola. Both of these Pokémon are ghost-types and their appearance reflects this fact, with both appearing to be dead.

Galarian Corsola and Cursola appear to have been inspired by bleached coral, which is when coral expels the algae living within its tissue and, by doing so, turns itself white. Coral bleaching can be caused by a number of factors, such as a change in temperature or nutrients.

Good luck catching Corsola in Pokémon Go!
