From Wednesday, you can evolve Cosmovum into Pokémon GO into Solgaleo or Lunala. But which is better and what evolution is worth it for whom? Find out here.
When will the evolutions be available? On Wednesday, the event Astral Eclipse begins. As part of the event, you can finally evolve Cosmovum into Solgaleo or Lunala. This presents you with a tough decision, as so far you can only obtain one Cosmog through the Special Research “A Cosmic Companion”.
We will show you which of the two evolutions, Solgaleo or Lunala, you should choose.
How does the evolution work?
What you need to know: Before the start of the Astral Eclipse, you cannot carry out the evolutions. But after the start, Cosmovum can be evolved into Solgaleo or Lunala for 100 Cosmog candies.
How you can control the evolution will be explained here:
Currently, you only have one Cosmog that you can evolve. Therefore, we provide you with decision-making aids for the evolution in this article. Niantic has already confirmed that you will be able to catch more Cosmog in the future. When this will be and how it will be possible is unclear.
Solgaleo or Lunala – Which evolution is better?
Lunala:
- Belongs to the types Ghost and Psychic
- With a moveset of Confusion and Shadow Ball, it has quite strong DPS
- If you want double Psychic attacks, Lunala is rather weak and ranks far behind the best Psychic attackers
Solgaleo:
- Belongs to the types Psychic and Steel
- Can really heat things up in PvP with its Fire attacks
- Could become a new meta pick in PvP
Although the Pokémon have strong base stats, they also need to impress with their movesets. So far, they have not quite succeeded in doing that. Moreover, it is still quite labor-intensive to gather candies for Cosmog, as it can only be caught through Special Research. Therefore, leveling up a Solgaleo or Lunala to participate in raids is intensive.
Conclusion: Based on the information available about Lunala and Solgaleo so far, Lunala is the better Pokémon as a raid attacker. It may be more worthwhile as an evolution for you than Solgaleo. It has the best use as a Psychic attacker in raids. However, it is by no means as strong as Mewtwo.
In PvP, Solgaleo, however, is the more exciting choice. In the Master League, it will find its best use. This conclusion is also supported by PvP expert JRE47, who explains the strengths and weaknesses of the two Pokémon in a larger analysis on reddit.
Have you already thought about which of the two Pokémon you will evolve? Maybe you don’t care about the battle stats at all and just go for the looks. Or maybe you have such a weak Cosmog that evolving hasn’t been worth it for you so far.
