@@Avinash1974In Gen 8 it's not even NU, it's PUBL. Crobat is in RU and with Brave Bird it's a guaranteed OHKO even with 0 Atk investment for Crobat and max physical bulk for Virizion. Aerodactyl and Braviary are in NU and it's the same story.
Cobalion is like the samurott of UU. incredibly consistent through the gens and somehow always able to utilize gen mechanics to avoid powercreep. Now ig we gotta see if cobalion will pull a samurott and its new gen 9 form will make it OU viable
its absurd to me how insanely better Samurott H is. Its: >Faster >Dual STAB priority >number 1 hazard setter in the tier >knock off >way better ability
I remember running a mixed lead Cobalion set back in gen 6 with a STAB, Stealth Rock, Volt Switch and HP Ice. I SPECIFICALLY used it to surprise insta kill Landorus-Ts with full spA HP Ice on lead because no one would ever switch out a Landorus on Cobalion. It was so funny seeing the opponent instantly quit after their lando got unexpectedly disintegrated turn 1
Lol, I remember doing the same thing in the sun and moon ladder using a HP Ice Tapu Koko. It would have made more sense if they were choice scarf but I never met a choice scarf Landorus T on ladder to my memory
Cobalion was one of the few legendaries I used in game since you can catch him relatively early and he meshed well my original in game Black team. Definitely still my favorite Sword of Justice for its noble style and stature.
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.
My heart skipped a beat when the screen sliced apart and Cobalion's cry as the music dropped when I played as a kid playing Black for the first time. Seeing this video being posted had the same effect on me.
Shoutout to Cobalion’s appearance in Pokemon Rumble Blast as an antagonist and later ally to the player, their theme song there is ingrained into my memory.
The Swords of Justice have easily the most borked official pronunciations of any pokemon. Cobalion as in Cobalt? That thing it's named after? No, co-BAY-leon. Virizion as in Viridian, the color it's named after? No, it's pronounced like Verizon Wireless.
In Indigo Disk, we get to see a future paradox form of Cobalion, by the name Iron Crown, alongside its counterpart, Raging Bolt, a past paradox of Raikou. That's 2 in each the paradox legendary beasts and the paradox Swords of Justice now. Hopefully Entei and Terrakion get theirs next.
It’s pretty much guaranteed we will see the last two, whether it be in Indigo Disk or through an event raid again is up for debate but it’s certain they will show up
Cobalion with 20-30 more points in attack and that much less in special would be nuts. Any more and banned to Ubers lmao. Probably in that range or before but unsure how much
Exactly what I was thinking. Take 30 points away from SpA and give it 120 physical attack and this thing would go crazy hard. It could take hits, give hits, and out speed certain threats.
Cobalion is having he time of it’s life in gen 9,top 5 and checking even the most terrifying lokix,even in power creep some things never change,this horse is a warrior through and through

A for A great Pokemon, Relicanth! N for Nobody dislikes Relicanth. T for Thanks GameFreak, for Relicanth! And H for How Good Was Relicanth Actually?
During my Sun and moon era my Cobalion was doing pretty well in the online meta with Assault vest/metal burst set beating powerful Pokémon that out speed me. And if they had focus sash, quick attack
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.
I remember using the Master Ball on Cobalion and just using a quick ball on the box art legends since I couldn't catch the Cobalion. I couldn't catch the other two Swords of Justice which is sad.
Box art Legendaries almost always have a higher catch rate than other Legendaries so using a Master ball is definitely a waste on Pokémon like Dialga or Zekrom.
If I were to give it a new ability, it would be Intimidate since its Pokedex entries mention about making unruly Pokémon obey it when glaring at them though it could help it give it more opportunities to set up.
Using Cobalion on my current Black 2 Nuzlocke and all I'm going to say is that the flinch from Iron Head has saved my bacon more times than it probably should have (can't believe they push this as a Level 63 move in later gens especially considering it has a fairly limited amount of Steel moves it can actually use). Doesn't hurt it's the only one on my team that can setup any sort of screen either.
One of my favourite b/w pokemon. It's always a good addition to your team, as both its typings are very good in the main story. Also it offers role compression of fast sd offence and defence.

Let's see how Iron Crown will do with its Steel/Psychic typing and its new move, Tachyon Cutter. I also hope that you can get more than one or that it has a raid so people can either catch it or trade one for Raging Bolt so you don't lose your robot.
Nice to see that Cobalion didn’t get screwed over by power creep. Great video, FSG. Can’t wait to see what it’s future paradox form has in store for competitive.
Co-bay-leon is a weird pronunciation, considering it’s based on the word cobalt. Also, Virizion is pronounced Vir-I-zeon despite being based on the word viridian.
absolutely wild to see a pokémon i considered legendary at the time of its release start out in UU of all places. the 90 attack stat even in gen 5 was kinda awful for a pokémon meant to be powerful/intimidating
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!!
I only knew recently about Coballion's paltry 90 base atk. For such a good mon in UU seeing consistent usage i always thought it would at least hit 100 atk. Who knew 129 defense and good typing could make an offensive orientated mon so good
Ah, my favorite of the swords of justice. Was actually able to use it during my Black 2 playthrough growing up, and man I got so much mileage out of Cobalion. 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.
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...
I fondly remember catching cobalion in black 2 with a master ball and absolutely destroying everything with sacred sword and iron head, so I've got a soft spot for the blue-iron-goat-llama-thing
I will say that all men need to check themselves for testicles for unusual lumps/textures and immediately see a doctor if they feel anything suspicious. I did that one year ago and was able to catch the cancer before it could spread to other locations in the body. It is curable if found early.
The last comment regarding Iron Crown and how it will add to Coballion’s legacy - does that mean you’ll do a pokemon and their paradox’s in the same video? so would a theoretical salamence video have to include both Mega Salamence in gens 6 and 7, and Roaring Moon in gen 9?
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)
False swipe is correct, that app is Imfamous for its poor prouncation of pokemon names...ESPECIALLY since Cobalion is named after the metal cobalt, like virizion is named after virdian and terrakion is named after Terracotta
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 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.

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)
I named my Cobalion "Discount Zamazenta".
I agree, one-hundred percent, with that retcon.
I’m BEGGING you to do Terrakion. I want to know it’s history
False swipe is correct, that app is Imfamous for its poor prouncation of pokemon names...ESPECIALLY since Cobalion is named after the metal cobalt, like virizion is named after virdian and terrakion is named after Terracotta
Cobalion is also a major character in a Pokémon Rumble game of all things. That’s personally the game I associate it with.
Pokemon Rumble Blast specifically. Glad there's someone else who recognizes Cobalion's role in that game.
Don't worry, I feel the same way about the pronunciation of Tigrex. TEE-grex? Naw, I still prefer TIE-grex.
Feel like you should've waited January so we could compare it to its future form
How good was Incineroar actually?
Will totally not be a VGC video 🙃
nice to see my first ever legendary was a mainstay in the 2nd best tier
The flashbang when the first thing i see when opening the video is "Testicular cancer" in the description.
Day 496.
I'm never gonna give up on quagsire remake
This is one of the only video where I wanted to watch the sponsor segment because of how good False Swipe Gaming did it.
How good was Noctowl Actually?
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.
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
@@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.
Trying to use Cobalion in OU is physically painful. He looks too cool to never 2HKO anything in the world
I always said it the way the pokedex said it lol
