Cobalion's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Cobalion's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Cobalion's Nature.

Where to Find Cobalion in Sword & Shield

If you're looking for where to find Cobalion, you'll find the various methods listed down below, along with any notes or special locations. This should help you figure out how to get Cobalion in Pokémon Sword & Shield. (Currently this does not show most "strong" static encounters or Max Raid Battles.)

Special Ways to Get Cobalion

After meeting Sonia in the Crown Tundra (DLC), she will task you with finding information on three Pokémon by tracking down their footprints. After finding 50 Iron Will footprints in the Roaring-Sea Caves, Frostpoint Field, Giant's Bed, or Giant's Foot to reach 100% research completion, you can find Cobalion in the Frigid Sea as a stationary encounter where you can fight it. (If it is knocked out or if you run away, it will NOT immediately respawn, but you can set up a Pokémon Camp and exit or reload your game and it will respawn in the same area.) (Only one can be caught per game save.)
