Best counters

All viable counters — ranked by DPS³×TDOSuper-effective charged moves only
All movesetsRegular movesets (no Elite TM)

DPS and estimated total damage output (TDO) are computed against Cobalion's actual typing and Tier-5 boss stats — each attacker's best fast + charged pairing, ranked by the combined DPS³ × TDO score. Only pairings whose charged move hits Cobalion super-effectively are shown. Legacy / Elite-TM movesets are excluded. This is per-boss matchup math, not the neutral-target tier list. Full formula on the methodology page.
