Appearance
Looking like nothing from this world, it’s easy to see why many believe that this Pokemon came from another universe. In terms of body, Cosmog has a small appearance, it’s body consisting of a small purple center with two antenne sprouting out. Cosmog’s body color is a gradient of blue to purple, with a black face and yellow eyes. With a gold ring holding it together. Looking truly cosmic, it’s easy to believe that this Pokemon doesn't come from this world.
Behavior
Cosmogs collect dust from the atmosphere to form their body. Because they are so lightweight they are easily able to fly away with the slightest wind. Cosmog is a kind soul, showing trust and affection to whoever shows it kindness. This can be taken advantage of however, as Cosmog is notably naive, unable to tell when it's being taken advantage of by malevolent forces. As it is young, Cosmog can easily strain itself when using too much power, but can teleport itself as well as those close to it.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Just to be clear, Cosmog isn’t the best for battles, that’s done by design. With Low HP and Low overall stats, Cosmog won’t last long in battle. Being a Psychic type, Bug, Dark, and Ghost moves will essentially be a one hit knockout for Cosmog. The play here is to just simply let Cosmog evolve into a much stronger form.
Best moveset for Cosmog
At this point in Cosmog’s evolution, it can learn two moves in total and both aren’t great offensive moves. Splash amounts to pretty much Cosmog doing nothing while Teleport allows you to back out of wild encounters. While this does seem lackluster and makes Cosmog not useful at all while battling, the whole point is to be able to evolve it into a more powerful Pokemon.
