Biology

Cosmog is a small Pokémon with a gaseous body similar to a nebula. The gases that make up its body range in color from violet to light blue. The very center of its body is black both in front and back. The black space on the front contains its face, which consists of beady yellow eyes, circular blue cheeks, and a small mouth. The space on the back has only a single blue dot. There is a golden half-circlet on both the top and bottom half of its body, which divides it exactly in half. Two wispy extensions containing starry specks serve as its arms. Cosmog's gaseous body makes it one of the lightest Pokémon in existence.

Cosmog's body is frail and easily blown away. However, it is carefree and doesn't seem to mind. It collects dust from the atmosphere, which allows it to grow slowly. Cosmog has the ability to warp itself and those close to it, as well as open Ultra Wormholes, but only when under stress. This process is very dangerous for Cosmog, and the use of its powers can leave it immobile for extended periods of time. Cosmog is theorized by the Aether Foundation to be a type of Ultra Beast, and its name was coined by one of the professors at the Foundation. In ages past, it was known as the “child of the stars”. In behavior, Cosmog has an overly trusting nature and it immediately takes a liking to whoever shows it kindness, even when that person doesn't have the best intentions for it.[1] Cosmog is known to be very curious but not very cautious, this behavior has often lead to Cosmog being willing to put itself in danger, only to teleport away in case things get dicey. this Pokémon can also be created by Solgaleo and Lunala.

Trivia
  • Cosmog has the lowest base stat total of all Legendary Pokémon.
  • Cosmog has the smallest movepool of all Legendary Pokémon, with only two moves that it can learn.
  • Cosmog and its evolution are the only Pokémon who are unable to damage an opponent outside of Struggle.
  • Since it cannot learn any attacking moves, Cosmog's attack animation is only seen in battle if a Pokémon with Illusion is disguised as Cosmog and uses an attacking move. However, this animation can be viewed in the Pokédex, the Alola Photo Club, Pokémon Camp, and Pokémon HOME.
  • Cosmog's evolution into Cosmoem has the greatest standard deviation of all Pokémon, with 47.14, meaning that the changes to its base stats on evolving are the most uneven of all Pokémon.
  • Cosmog and Cosmoem are the only Legendary Pokémon that evolve by leveling up without requiring other conditions.

Origin

Cosmog may be based on a molecular cloud, a type of nebula where star formation occurs.

Name origin

Cosmog may be a combination of cosmo and fog or smog. It may also be a truncated form of cosmogony.
