    Cobalion is genuinely one of the very few legendaries that just hit it right for me from both an aesthetic *_and_* a gameplay viewpoint.
    It honestly makes me feel like a kid again, where using legendaries didn't feel so dirty back then -- and that's not something I can usually say about Gen 5, AKA the Powercreep Gen.

    Video aside they are my favorite trio or quartet now despite Keldeo being annoying in every aspect. You can say that they represent the 4 pillars of virtue or stoicism as well. It makes no sense though considering how they are supposed to be stoic but hid away in the Black and White game maybe it was the stuff up to Reshiram and Zekrom that they had to sort out themselves, so they decided it was best not to come out of hiding. In the Manga, I believe they played their roles, and also in the Mystery Dungeon games.

    Cobalion, my favorite legendary! The first one I actually used on a team, on one of my journeys in Black 2! The offensive typing is somewhat redundant, as both Fighting and Steel hit Rock and Ice super effectively! The problems appear on the defensive side, with weaknesses against 3 of the most common offensive types, and a very problematic special defense..... Even in the face of all these setbacks, we can say that he has always competed at medium and high level, despite the almost zero presence in VGC!!

Hearing about its versatility in competitive play has only made my appreciation grow deeper, can’t wait to catch paradox Cobalion in the upcoming Violet event.

    Cobalion is for me the definition of many things:
    -the swordsman with a design closer to a "legend".
    -being an important character in Pokemon Rumble Blast
    -Having one of the best themes in the main saga as Rumble Games
    -and having a concept of a tank that is fast and attacks from both sides.
    is definitely a gift come true, being and having its 3 obvious cons that prevented it from being a real "OU".
    1. His limited coverage, even if he has good moves and can attack many mons from UU (reason why he is considered a beast there) in OU he is more of a mediocre pokemon, mainly because oh those that are stab don't have the best power and if they do, precision is the worst cost of it (way to improve it...give him Ceaseless Edge, Thunderbolt maybe even Knockoff to have better mashup with the ghosts, or even Body press to make him a more defensive zamacenta).
    2. His offensives are below what is expected, although he is the most versatile pokemon of UU and definitely is an achievement that not many legendaries that are not iconic like Zapdos or Lando have, but the fact that he can't kill from 1ko to many pokemon can condemn him too much (I always said that giving him 100/100 in physical and special attack would be a good idea, more to leave Lucario base more outclassed than he already was in Gen5).
    and the one that I definitely think Iron Crown won't repeat.
    3. It needs a recovery MU, if it had one, many matches would not be decided by chip damage, even more when currently pokemon like greattusk that take little damage from rocks, now suffer from spikes and are forced to use Heavy-Duty Boots at best (they can perfectly give recover or roost and even rapid spin or defog support options maybe...)
    (and if we get crazier, having wideguard or icywind could improve its use in VGC, more because in Gen8 it was good at least before the arrival of the elite pokemon...although before that it was a good mon for the dynamax (ahem Max Airstream above all ahem)

    The only reason I can think of as to why PokeDex 3D Pro pronounces Cobalion as "Co-BAY-Leon" might be because it's trying to incorporate the animal-inspiration's name, the legendary Yale (not to be confused with the University that shares the same name-- and uses the creature as a mascot)... but even I have my doubts on that stretch of a reason...

    The only thing I'd do for Cobalion and crew, is make Justified an immunity to Dark and Ghost with the plus one attack. That would make tools like Knock Off even more of a risk to be throwing around or spamming as it so often is.

    • @homerman76
      @homerman76 Год назад +1

      Not a bad idea since he normally resists both anyways, so it's not too op, but it still has utility in negating knock off

    • @gamermanzeake
      @gamermanzeake Год назад

      @@homerman76 I think there should be more counter-play to things like knockoff. This could potentially allow other interesting moves like Poltergeist to be just unviable as a solo ghost stab. Either that or it would dictate the need to have more coverage. I love the Swords of Justice mons. Some of my favorite subset trio legends.

    Here's hoping that Cobalion's regional variant, Iron Crown, is also good! Psychic/Steel used to be the strongest dual type, and Psychic Noise and Tachyon Cutter ought to be great moves to run on a Calm Mind set.
