Cosmog
Say it: CO-smo-g
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Cosmog is the Nebula Pokémon — Psychic baby before Cosmoem, then Solgaleo or Lunala. In Pokémon GO it only knows Splash and Struggle — not a battler. Catch Cosmog from special research or events, then evolve up the line.
Say it: CO-smo-g
Cosmog (#789) is a Psychic Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Solgaleo/Lunala. Trainers never power Cosmog for raids; its Game Master pool is Splash + Struggle only. Against Cosmog, lead with Bug, Ghost, or Dark. The real investment is the legendary final form.

Pokédex notes
Cosmog is a Psychic-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0789. Legendaries shine in Master League and 5-star raids when IVs and moves align.
Where in GO: Legendary raids, research breakthroughs, and GO Tour events
Invest tip: Do not TM or power Cosmog. Evolve to Cosmoem, then Solgaleo or Lunala when research allows. Shadow Cosmog is the same story.
