How to get Cobalion in Pokémon GO

After the Halloween event, Niantic has prepared new surprises for Pokémon Go. One of them will be available from today November 4 with Cobalion as the protagonist. And it is that the Steel Tenacity Pokémon will be available in five-star raids from 10:00 p.m. (Spanish peninsular time) until Tuesday, November 26 at the same time. That is, you will have more than 20 days to fight him and catch him.

As the developer herself points out, Cobalion is part of a trio of Pokémon that have defied humans to protect other Pokémon.

In fact, it is said that other mystical swordsmen such as Terrakion, Keldeo or Virizion will begin to appear in the game soon.
