How to Get Cobalion in Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension DLC

Complete the DLC Mission 12

Pokemon Legends ZA Hyperspace Mission 12 Completed

To catch Cobalion, you must first complete the DLC's final mission, The Greatest Gift, where you need to defeat Rayquaza.

Mega Dimension DLC Story Walkthrough

Run a Special Scan at the Rust Syndicate

Philippe Distortion Scan

After completing the mission, you will be able to run special scans from Philippe at the Rust Syndicate. You need to earn 25,000 Hyperspace Survey Points to run a scan, which you can get from completing tasks while inside Hyperspace Wild Zones.

Do note that each scan is not guaranteed to result in a portal that leads to a Legendary or Mythical Pokemon, so you may need to run these scans a couple of times.

A portal with a special encounter will have a yellow shining question mark icon.

Enter the Portal and Catch Cobalion

Battling Cobalion

If you are able to get a portal with Cobalion, you need to go to the frozen river in the area to battle it.

Head to the right side and follow the street.
