Strategy Overview
Fighting
Cobalion acts as an excellent support, lead, and anti-lead Pokemon on Fighting teams, as it has access to moves such as Stealth Rock, Thunder Wave, and Taunt. It hits a great Speed tier with a base Speed of 108, letting it tie with opposing lead Pokemon like Infernape and Galvantula. Its part Steel typing allows it to check Fairy-types, such as Diancie, Gardevoir, and Sylveon, and gives it an immunity to Poison-type moves, which makes it an excellent switch-in to predicted moves such as Toxic. Cobalion also has impressive physical bulk, allowing it to take multiple unresisted hits. Unfortunately, it lacks reasonable offensive stats, being less reliable in dealing a lot of damage. Cobalion's Special Defense isn't that great either, and it can't afford to switch into strong special attackers. It also lacks reliable recovery, shortening its longevity on the field.
