NPC appearances
- Pokémon Rumble Blast: Cobalion is the main antagonist for most of the game as he and his forces have been going around stealing Glowdrops from the towns for their own selfish reasons. It is later revealed he was gathering the Glowdrops to gain entrance into the now rusted World Axle, which takes a heavy toll on his legion as they all rust. With his forces now consumed by Dark Rust, Cobalion teams up with the player to infiltrate the World Axle, and ultimately defeats Dark Rust. After the player has defeated Terrakion and Virizion, they will be rewarded with this Cobalion who will be Rusty.

Trivia
- Cobalion has the highest Defense of all Template:Type2 Pokémon.
- Of the legendary musketeers, Cobalion is the only one with a type immunity, the only one whose English name is different from the official romanization of its Japanese name, and the only one which has a 4× resistance.

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 or an antelope species such as the greater kudu or eland. Also like the other members of its trio, its nose is shaped like that of a sheep or goat.
Name origin
Cobalion and Cobalon derive from cobalt—both the metal and the color.
