name: Calm Mind
move 1: Calm Mind
move 2: Flash Cannon

move 4: Focus Blast / Substitute
ability: Justified
item: Leftovers
evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
nature: Timid

Moves
=======

Calm Mind allows Cobalion to boost its subpar Special Defense and Special Attack to decent levels. Combined with its excellent typing and great defenses, Cobalion becomes hard to break through after a few Calm Minds. Flash Cannon is Cobalion's main attack. It's accurate and has a chance of lowering Special Defense to do further damage. Hidden Power Ghost allows Cobalion to deal with Doublade. Focus Blast is the strongest attack Cobalion has, but unfortunately it is not the most accurate. Substitute can be used to aid in prediction and avoid Scald burns from weaker pokemon such as Alomomola, as well as Amoonguss's Spores and random Thunder Waves. Because Cobalion is a special attacker with great physical bulk, Infiltrator users such as Golbat and Spiritomb are not that effective against Cobalion. Hidden Power Rock is an option to deal with Moltres.


Set Details
========


Maximum Speed investment is used to Speed tie with other fully invested base 108 Speed Pokemon, and maximum Special Attack investment is used to get the maximum value out of Calm Mind. Leftovers ensures Cobalion does not get worn down by residual damage.

Usage Tips
========

This Cobalion set easily sets up on physical walls such as Gligar, Alomomola, Golbat, and Doublade. It is incredibly versatile against stall teams and does well against offensive teams, as it outspeeds many Pokemon and has a great typing to take hits. Offensively, Ghost + Fighting coverage is great. Utilize Cobalion's great physical bulk to set up on Pokemon; it can take an Earthquake from base 100 Attack Pokemon. Watch out for Choice Scarf-using Fire- and Fighting-types such as Hitmonlee, Delphox, and Moltres.

Team Options
========

Hitmonlee and other Fighting-types appreciate Cobalion getting rid of their counters. Wallbreakers such as Meloetta and Exploud can pave the way for a late-game sweep with Cobalion, as the opponent will not be afraid to bring in their special wall if Cobalion is one of the only special attackers on your team. Meloetta handles Slowking especially well because it has great Special Defense and can retaliate with a super effective Shadow Ball. Assault Vest Slowking can take on the Fire-types and Fighting-types that Cobalion may have trouble with, such as Hitmonlee. Stealth Rock support helps Cobalion take on Moltres and Delphox better. This set has problems with Slowking, as it has great Special Defense, and can 2hko Cobalion even with Calm Mind boosts. Reuniclus and Cresselia are great teammates for Cobalion, as they are able to set up on Slowking, while Cobalion resists the Bug- and Dark-type attacks that they are weak to. Spiritomb is also a great way to beat Slowking, as Pursuit checkmates Slowking and Spiritomb fears none of Slowking's attacks. Virizion, Hitmonlee, Cinccino, Braviary, and other Pokemon with powerful Normal- or Fighting-type STAB moves are great teammates, as they appreciate Cobalion's ability to lure in and beat Doublade.

Used this a bit before and quite liked it. Anyway, guess I'll break it down:

[Calm Mind]

- Also mention that Cobalion is about the only Sub user that doesn't really care about Infiltrator Pokemon (Golbat and Spiritomb) due to being a special attacking Steel-type
- Moltres is quite literally the only target of HP Rock as Delphox is still nailed by HP Ghost due to being part-Psychic. Sort of leaning toward relegating HP Rock to Moves since the only realistic target is Moltres, but I'll leave that for the rest of QC to decide.
- Change AV Slowbro to AV Slowking
- Mention wallbreakers to soften up teams. Clawitzer, Moltres, and Exploud can all do this.

Tidy all that up and this should be good to go. QC Approved 1/3

I agree about HP Rock going to moves. HP Ghost is cool for nailing Doublade while also hitting Delphox, especially if you're pairing this with other fighting types like gallade/melo-p/lee. The other Fire-type in RU is Emboar which is hit harder by Focus Blast.

Also I'm not sure about that "AV Slowking loses 1v1", AV Slowking is actually a counter, if anything. HP Ghost does pitiful damage even at +1 or +2, while Fire Blast in turn can easily kill:

252+ SpA Slowking Fire Blast vs. +1 4 HP / 0 SpD Cobalion: 192-228 (59.2 - 70.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+1 252 SpA Cobalion Hidden Power Ghost vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Assault Vest Slowking: 94-112 (23.9 - 28.4%) -- 95.2% chance to 4HKO

and even at +2:

252+ SpA Slowking Fire Blast vs. +2 4 HP / 0 SpD Cobalion: 146-172 (45 - 53%) -- 28.9% chance to 2HKO
+2 252 SpA Cobalion Hidden Power Ghost vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Assault Vest Slowking: 124-148 (31.5 - 37.6%) -- 88.4% chance to 3HKO

Also, I know you kinda already have this on your 1st point on usage tips, but I'd like you to stress how it can lure and kill those physical walls.

not qc, just a few thoughts.

Arikado is right, it doesn't really beat Slowking

I'd add Choice Specs Meloetta as a teammate, as it draws in and donks AV Slowking with Shadow Ball.

Be sure to give Spiritomb a mention in team options for this set. Since Calm Mind Cobalion struggles so much with AV Slowking, pretty much anything that can get rid of it is an excellent teammate, and bar Scald burns Spiritomb is pretty much the perfect Pokemon to do this, it can get in on pretty much any attack Slowking commonly uses because of its typing and bulk (especially Psyshock), and puts it in a checkmate position with Pursuit, clearing the way for Cobalion to sweep.

Also, as this set is a great Doublade lure, i'd be sure to mention that pretty much anything that struggles with Doublade works exceptionally well with Calm Mind Cobalion. SD Virizion, Hitmonlee, Braviary, Durant, and Cinccino come to mind here.

QC Approved 3/3

no one is going to bother implementing this, it's way too messy. You shouldn't leave letters in the middle of crossed out words or add single letters in the middle of words. Cross out whole words and next to them add whole words.
