Cobalion

Cobalion in the anime

Cobalion appeared in the film Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice as one of its stars alongside Terrakion, Virizion, Kyurem, and Keldeo, and like the others it is able to speak through telepathy.

Cobalion on the card

Cobalion is based on Athos from The Three Musketeers, matching his role as the oldest and de facto leader, with its body styled after ungulates like the markhor, stag, and greater kudu, and its nose shaped like that of a sheep or goat as with its fellow Swords of Justice. Its first set card is the 2011 Emerging Powers Rare by 5ban Graphics, who also drew both Noble Victories cards. Plasma Storm added a Cobalion-EX in Rare and Ultra Rare forms, Team Up gave it three Cobalion GX cards, and the Mega Evolution era's Chaos Rising added a Cobalion ex in both Double Rare and Ultra Rare forms.
