Let's see.

On that set you gave, a Calm Mind set will do very well. By giving a Bulky spread with some Attack, you can pull of a good calm mind by having Cob being very hard to KO. So you can get as many Clm Minds as you need to KO. Although, Volt switch could possibly be replaced. You don't want to set up 2 or 3 CM's just to then run off after KOing just one Pokemon. I understand that it's mainly used if you got yourself in some trouble. But still, if you want you can replace Volt switch with any move you wish.

However, I don't like Special sets on Cob. His Special attack is very low. An all out Physical set with swords dance would suite it much better. This is what I recommend.

Cobalion @ Life Orb
Trait: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Stone Edge
- Iron Head
- Close Combat

This is an all out SD attacking set. After just one S-dance it can continue to sweep with outstanding power. If you still don't want the stat drop from CC got back to Sacred sword.

Hope I helped ;D

thx,i dont like the moves that reduce your best stats.
Np happy to help ;D
@ IloveSnorlax! You realize Close Combat is practically the best Fighting Type move Cobalion can have? Of course, Sacred Sword can be very effective, but for utilizing the best of Cobalions Attack and sweeping ablility, Close Combat is the better choice. Whether it lowers stats or not.
flare,sp.def. is cobalion lowest stat,but its defense is great,but u can use sacred sword more times than close combat...i just dont know what 2 do!!!!!!
That isn't exactly true. Sacred Sword might keep his defenses up but Cobalion is very fast s after a Swords Dance, Close Combat will kill most everything before it even gets a chance to take advantage of any Defensive drops.
Close Combat still. It doesn't matter, because the Cobalion LCB has put is a sweeper, therefore it doesn't need any defense, unless of course it's a bulky sweeper, which in this case it's not.
Oh wow Ben, 3 seconds early :D
