One universal fact of Cosmog is that their whole body is made of noble gas and particles of the nebula—a mysterious creature. Very few players from the Alola region have caught this rare Psychic-type Nebula Pokemon. There was a time when only the kings of Alola knew the whereabouts of Cosmog. That said, due to its mesmerizing appearance, it is often called "The Child of the Stars."

Cosmog is a Legendary monster with a max CP of 489 and weak stats of 54 Attack, 57 Defence, and 125 stamina. However, its abilities are unaware. With just 25 Candies, you can evolve it in Cosmoem, slightly better than Cosmog. But if you have extra 100 Candies, you can grow Cosmoem into Solgaleo during the daytime, and during the night, it can transform into Lunala.

These attack monsters debuted on Astral Eclipse on 23rd Nov 2022. Solgaleon's best moves are Zen Headbutt and Solar Beam, whereas Lunala's are Confusion and Shadow Ball. Once Cosmog evolves into these mighty forms, they become unstoppable, a game-changer.

Ralts is a sensitive monster that can sense emotions and hostility with its horn in the head in Pokemon GO. Also known as a Feeling fighter, it hides when it feels fear. Trainers with a less cheerful disposition often find catching Ralts challenging. It is weak compared to other types, but they are monstrous and redoubtable in their final form. Further, it also has a Shiny variant, but one can encounter it once per 500 chances.

Ralts is a dual-type monster with a max CP of 609 and comparatively weak stats of 79 Attack, 59 Defense, and 99 Stamina. When you collect 25 Candies, you can evolve Ralts into Kirlia, and with 100 Candies, further it into Gardevior, max CP of 3497. Also, with 1 Sinnoh Stone and 100 Candies, a male Kirlia can evolve into a game-changing Gallade, a Psychic and Fighting-type mons.

To increase the spawn rate of Ralts, one can attach Lure Modules in a Pokestop or use Daily Adeventue Incense and more.

One of the first ever Dragon-type beasts in Pokemon GO is Dartini. This Pokemon has a lot of energy stored in itself, which helps its body to grow longer and more extensively. As a result, it repeatedly goes through the skin-shedding process and can grow up to 6.5 feet in length. Before discovering Dratini, people considered it a Mythical beast until a fisherman showed his net worth.

Dratini has a max CP of 1136 and impressive stats of 119 Attacks, 91 Defense, and 121 Stamina. Its ability allows its body to heal upon receiving damage. It has various best moves, such as Dragon Breath, Aqua Tails, Iron Tail, and Twister. Moreover, with 25 Candies, you can get Dragonair; with 100 Candies, you can evolve further into Dragonite.

One advantage of evolving Dratini to Dragonite is its fundamental properties change, making it a dual Dragon and Flying-type Pokemon. Its great moves are Dragon Tail and Draco Meter with 15.46 DPS.

Although Meltan is weak, Melmetal is an absolute beast. You would require 400 candies to evolve it. It is said that Melmetal returned after 3000 years of hibernation. Much like Phoenix, once it dies, its shards will give life to Meltan. This beast can outwork many enemies with a max CP of 4069, powerful stats of 226 Attacks, 190 Defence, and 264 Stamina.
