Giustizia aumenta l'Attacco del possessore ogni qualvolta questi č compito da una mossa di tipo Buio; tuttavia, diversamente da altre abilitŕ, non garantisce l'immunitŕ a tale tipo. Per mosse che infliggono colpi multipli, come Picchiaduro, ogni colpo provoca l'aumento di attacco.

This set utilizes Cobalion's acceptable base 90 Special Attack while also boosting its pitiful Special Defense at the same time by simply using Calm Mind. Without access to any reliable recovery move, it will often only have time to obtain one or two boosts; however, that's more than enough to attempt a sweep. Focus Blast is the main attacking option, though it has shaky accuracy. Flash Cannon gives Cobalion a secondary STAB move which hits most Pokemon that resist Fighting for at least neutral damage, most notably anything that's part Ghost.
On the last slot you can choose between several Hidden Power types. Ice is most likely the best as it gives Cobalion strong overall coverage and deals especially well with both Landorus and Gliscor. When using Life Orb, 252/0 Gliscor and 4/0 Landorus are both easily OHKOed even without any Calm Mind boosts. Hidden Power Grass is also very effective as Cobalion otherwise has a hard time against several Water-types that resist its STABs, most notably Slowbro, Jellicent, and Quagsire. Don't worry about not having a super effective move against Dragons; with Life Orb and +1 SpA, Flash Cannon deals at least 60.6% to 4/0 Latios.

With many resistances and its impressive physical Defense, Cobalion has an easy time coming in, setting up and sweeping through teams. With the given EVs, Cobalion hits 332 Speed, making it faster than max Speed Landorus and anything slower, which includes a huge amount of the current metagame. Close Combat is Cobalion's main attacking move, offering great damage output, easily OHKOing 120 / 0 Conkeldurr after a Swords Dance. Stone Edge is there for coverage as it deals with Flying-types who resist Close Combat, such as Gyarados, Zapdos, Salamence, Thundurus, and many more Pokemon. With the given investment in Special Attack, Hidden Power Ice is able to OHKO 4 / 0 Landorus without fail, and has a very high chance to KO 252 / 0 Gliscor without any prior damage. Thanks to its ability, Justified, Cobalion loves to switch into any Dark-type move and abuse the +1 Attack boost. Cobalion is probably the best abuser of it, mainly because of its 4x resistance to Dark-type moves and its great defensive capabilities, making Pokemon such as Tyranitar look quite harmless. However, Cobalion isn't all that powerful, so bulkier opponents like Vaporeon, Jellicent, and Wobbuffet usually are able to survive a hit even after a Swords Dance.Altre Opzioni
Iron Head and Thunder Wave is a fairly common strategy, and it's also usable by Cobalion. Without the Serene Grace ability, it's not as effective, but still worth a mention. Volt Switch is an interesting choice to allow Cobalion to scout for dangerous Pokemon before setting up, but you won't like to switch out after setting up Swords Dance or Calm Mind. Additionally, Cobalion sadly has a natural ability to lure in virtually every Ground-type in existence, which is a major drawback. Rock Polish might seem like an attractive choice to set up, but without getting its attacking stats boosted, Cobalion becomes nothing more than a fast, average attacker. Cobalion's offensive movepool is rather restricted, including just Metal Burst, Poison Jab, X-Scissor, and Retaliate; however, Cobalion won't find much use for them due to their poor coverage.
Boasting great defenses, Cobalion can make good use of its supportive movepool, including Substitute, Roar, Toxic, Safeguard, and Reflect. However, the lack of a reliable recovery move is just too big of a flaw for a Pokemon with such good defenses. With the new sleep mechanics, Rest became too unreliable without access to Sleep Talk. Feel free to run an Occa Berry to remove Cobalion's Fire weakness, which might help in a metagame full of Hidden Power Fire users, but it's most just inferior to the mentioned items on the sets.Checks & Counters
Even with access to Swords Dance, bulky Pokemon give Cobalion a hard time. The real problems are the bulky Water- and Ground-types who can switch into Close Combat and Swords Dance rather easily, take a hit, and scare Cobalion out with effective moves. Slowbro, Slowking, and Jellicent are prime examples because they resist both of its STAB moves and have extremely large movepools which allow them to cripple Cobalion easily with a variety of moves, including Thunder Wave, Will-O-Wisp, and Scald. Quagsire is probably Cobalion's worst nightmare as it even nullifies any Swords Dance and Calm Mind boosts thanks to its Unaware ability, while having a super effective STAB Earthquake at the same time. Gliscor, Hippowdon, and their fellow Ground-types also cause problems as long as Cobalion doesn't run Hidden Power Ice. Speaking of sand abusers, Excadrill is a tough Pokemon to deal with. The opponent will likely expect you to switch out instantly, which gives them a free turn to set up with Substitute or Swords Dance. You'd better have a counter for it, or you'll be forced to risk Cobalion by just going straight for Close Combat to nail it before it can set up and sweep.
Faster opponents, especially specially-based ones, have no problem switching into Cobalion and immediately threatening him. In fact, there are quite a few Pokemon that are faster than Cobalion, including Gengar, Starmie, Raikou, Latias, Latios, Thundurus, Accelgor, and several others who all usually have at least 1 super effective move against Cobalion. You might like to have Jellicent in your team, as it can absorb both Fire- and Fighting-type moves rather easily. The same goes for Latias, which even has a valuable Ground immunity. Both of them have access to Recover, so you don't have to fear losing your special wall too early. Volcarona deserves special attention, as it resists both Cobalion's STAB moves and almost any other move Cobalion has access to bar Stone Edge and Volt Switch, making it one of the biggest threats to deal with. Volcarona will usually try to KO Cobalion with its Fire STAB at the first chance it has. You need to know whether to risk Stone Edge missing, or simply bring an effective counter to it.
Some former Ubers are also able to counter Cobalion, such as Deoxys-S and Deoxys-D, who are either faster or just too bulky for Cobalion to deal with, and have access to Superpower and Focus Blast to KO Cobalion. Wobbuffet can be even more dangerous, as it can lock Cobalion rather easily thanks to Encore and Shadow Tag. If team preview reveals that you have to face one, it's recommended to Volt Switch around (if you have it) until it's not a threat anymore. A +2 Iron Head is strong enough to 2HKO a Bold 28 HP / 252 Def Wobbuffet at full HP, but if you set up on the switch, Cobalion might be in trouble.
