In the Post Game. Cogita assists once more, telling them where to find the last few plates. It is also revealed she had one of the plates with her the whole time, having been using it as a chopping board. After Volo and Giratina's defeat she appears within the Galaxy Hall, telling the player about the Forces of Nature and telling them to speak with her after capturing and completing their Pokédex entries.
