Is Cobalion any good?
Cobalion can be pretty useful in certain PvP battles, particularly in the Ultra League. Any Pokemon rivals that are weak to Fighting-type attacks like Dialga will usually be struck down by Cobalion. Alternatively, if you’re coming up against rivals weak to Steel, you can always change out your attacks to Metal Clar and Iron Head.
Sure, Cobalion isn’t the best in the Master League, but if you’re aiming for the Ultra League, this Pokemon is a pretty fine choice.
So, there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about preparing Cobalion for a PvP battle. While getting ready for your next fight, take a look at some of our other handy Pokemon Go guides and content:
