Biology
Cobalion is a quadrupedal Pokémon with stag and goat characteristics. It has azure blue fur and jagged golden horns in the form of thunderbolts. It has a paler blue snout than the rest of its fur, and a black blaze runs from its nose to the back of its head. Small gray patches may be seen on its long neck and rear legs. It has a cravat-like white fur tuft beneath its neck. Yellow protrusions resembling fins protrude from its shoulder blades. Its tail is similar to these protrusions, except it is the same hue as its nose. Cobalion has black bands on his legs with lighter hair below and huge black hooves.
Cobalion has a calm attitude, yet he despises people. It formerly battled against humans to safeguard Pokémon. Its gaze can make even the most obstinate Pokémon submit. Cobalion is reported to have had the air of a leader from birth. Cobalion has the ability to pacify even the most fierce opponents. Sacred Sword was Generation V’s trademark move.
