Canonically serving as one of the Legendaries in the Swords of Justice quartet, Cobalion is a Unovan Iron Will Pokémon that appears in Five-Star Raids in Pokémon GO. As a Fighting- and Steel-type pocket monster, Cobalion is strong against Normal-, Steel-, Grass-, Ice-, Dragon-, Dark-, Poison-, Rock-, and Bug-type Moves. On the other hand, Trainers are advised to use combatants with Fire-, Ground-, and Fire-type Movesets against this high-tier Raid Boss. Wielding 39,601 Combat Power, Cobalion is not an opponent Trainers should take on alone. At least three or more medium to high-level players will be necessary to clear this Raid in Pokémon GO.

How to Counter Cobalion in a Pokémon GO Raid

Defeating the Legendary Iron Will Cobalion in a Pokémon GO Raid requires powerful combatants, such as Mega Blaziken, Mega Charizard, Reshiram, Entei, or even Terrakion, another member of the Swords of Justice. Terrakion has been featured as a Tier-5 Raid for the past week or two, so it is possible for Trainers to have added this Pokémon to their roster.
