In what situations do you get grabbed the most?
Does he run up and grab you? Go on the offensive and attack him before he does anything, or dodge his grab. You can do this with your defensive shield options (roll, spot dodge, wavedash) or by moving out of the way and then punishing the endlag. Fair and dtilt are your best offensive options, fair because it has good range and can be used while advancing/retreating and dtilt because it's quick. I also like to use the back hit of uair since it looks cool and it's a wide hitbox, but it's not as good.
If you use a defensive option, try to time it so that you dodge just a little before his grab starts, rather than just as it happens. His side B lasts one frame while most of your options longer than that, so you can take advantage of your lingering frames.
Does he grab from the air? Call him out with an anti-air like utilt or do the same things I mentioned above.
Does he grab while you're on a platform? Try not to spend too much on a platform and instead think of them as a way to mix up your movement. Make him think, "Do I aim above or below the platform?"
Bowser approaching is risky for him because Corrin's frame data and range are both better, so always keep him a little at bay even when you're making an approach. Always be on the move and don't let him get right in your face.
