In A Corsola Caper!, the group met a family who raised Corsola to make jewelry out of their shed body parts. However, a wild Corsola came along and invaded the ranch looking for a friend, causing the Corsola in the area to flee. Eventually, all of the Corsola were recovered and Misty caught the wild Corsola with the Lure Ball she got from Kurt.
It then became one of Misty's most used Pokémon along with Politoed, and she continued to use it regularly throughout her travels in the Johto region. It was also used in the Whirl Cup.
In Pokémon Heroes, Misty participated with her Corsola along with Ash and his Totodile in the Tour de Alto Mare, a water race through Alto Mare. After a close call with the reigning champion Ross and his Wailmer, Misty and Corsola won the race.
Corsola seems to have a joyous personality, like Misty's Togepi. It is also very sociable, and has a good relationship with Misty's other Pokémon. Corsola is recognized for having a powerful Tackle, and is known for ramming other Pokémon when trying to be friendly.
