Cobalion has 111 HP, 123 speed and a 1.20x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.
Compared with the whole roster, its HP is well above average, its speed is among the best on the roster and its attack is about average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 63.6, which puts it at rank 234 overall, rank 35 of 141 among Unova Pokemon and rank 20 of 61 Steel-types and 35 of 68 Fighting-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

Cobalion moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Cobalion starts every run with Metal Claw: a steel swipe in an arc.
The level-up cards can then offer 13 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 5 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Steel moves: Metal Claw, Flash Cannon, Meteor Mash
- Fighting moves: Karate Chop, Aura Sphere
Weaknesses and resistances
Cobalion takes extra damage from Fire (1.6x), Fighting (1.6x), and Ground (1.6x). It resists Poison (0.3x), Bug (0.36x), Rock (0.36x), Normal (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), Ice (0.6x), Dragon (0.6x), Dark (0.6x), and Steel (0.6x). The remaining 6 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Cobalion are the ones whose first type is Fire, Fighting, or Ground. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Steel or Fighting moves do not hit harder just because Cobalion shares the type.
How to get Cobalion
Cobalion is part of the Unova banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (1.5% for Legendary) and then picks one of the 14 Legendary Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Cobalion a 0.11% chance. Every banner has its own pity counter: the 70th pull without a 5-star is always a 5-star, which works out to about 43.5 pulls per 5-star and roughly 609 pulls to land this particular one.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 300 coins, or 900 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Cobalion exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Cobalion as an enemy
Cobalion never shows up as a regular enemy because 5-star Pokemon are left out of the enemy cast.
As a legendary it can also be the opponent in a rift. The game picks a rift legendary at random and favors the ones you have not beaten yet, then builds an arena from one of its types: Steel Fortress (Steel) or Ancient Dojo (Fighting). Its attack set is a ground slam, a leap onto your position, a fan of beams, and falling danger zones. See the rifts guide and the legendaries guide.
