Cobalion #638

Cobalion — the Iron Will Pokémon, a Steel/Fighting legendary, the first of Unova's Swords of Justice quartet (an Alexandre-Dumas Musketeers tribute — Cobalion is Athos, Terrakion is Porthos, Virizion is Aramis, and Keldeo joins later as d'Artagnan). Real Gen-5 OU competitive presence as a Steel defensive pivot. Deep TCG support: Plasma Storm Cobalion-EX SAR at $47, Noble Victories Holo at $40, 2025 Black Bolt IR at $30, plus a Cobalion-GX run from Team Up.
