Corsola and Cursola, the Coral Pokémon (Ghost)

Corsola is here to teach us all that climate change is real. "Pokémon Shield" offers a brief history of how the happy, coral-like water/rock creature from the earlier games has been heavily impacted by a sudden change in climate.

In these games, Corsola is a ghost-type that literally sucks the life out of other Pokémon. "Sudden climate change wiped out this ancient kind of Corsola," the Pokédex entry says. To make things even more grave, the ghostly form of Corsola has an even more depressing evolution — Cursola.

Corsola's change coincides with a real life crisis — coral reefs around the world are dying because of climate change.
