Trivia
- Cobalion has the highest Defense base stat of all Fighting-type Pokémon.
- Of the Swords of Justice, Cobalion is the only one with a type immunity, the only one which has a double resistance, the only one whose English name is different from the official romanization of its Japanese name, and the only one whose French and German names differ from each other.
Origin
Cobalion appears to be based on the character of Athos from the novel The Three Musketeers. Like Athos, Cobalion is the oldest and the de facto leader of the group. Like the others of its trio, its appearance is based on ungulates. It bears close resemblance to a markhor (a type of goat) and species of antelope such as the greater kudu or eland. It also resembles a stag. Like the other members of its trio, its nose is shaped like that of a sheep or goat.
Name origin
Cobalion and Cobalon are derived from cobalt (a metal and a color) and possibly stallion or champion.
