Cosmoem (Japanese: コスモウム, HepburnKosumoumu) is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is the evolved form of Cosmog and the pre-evolved form of Solgaleo (in Sun and Sword) and Lunala (in Moon and Shield).

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Cosmoem looks like an eye from outer space. It has a black 'pupil' with curves that look like resting eyes, and various pink and blue stripes across it. Around it, there is a dark purple, reflective, translucent shell with stars in it. Around this shell, along the sides and top of Cosmoem's body, is a gold outline, with smaller, similar shapes partly closing around the main body.

Behavior[]

It stays immobile in this entire stage, which makes the chances smaller for this Pokémon to evolve early.

Pokédex entries[]

  • Sun

    Motionless as if dead, its body is faintly warm to the touch. In the distant past, it was called the cocoon of the stars.

  • Moon

    There's something accumulating around the black core within its hard shell. People think this Pokémon may come from another world.

  • Ultra Sun

    The king who ruled Alola in times of antiquity called it the "cocoon of the stars" and built an altar to worship it.

  • Ultra Moon

    As it absorbs light, Cosmoem continues to grow. Its golden shell is surprisingly solid.

  • Sword

    The absorption of starlight fuels this Pokémon's growth. The shell that encases it is harder than any known material.

  • Shield

    It sucks in dust from the air at an astounding rate, frantically building up energy within its core as preparation for evolution.

Trivia[]

  • Cosmoem is both the smallest and the heaviest of all Pokémon, being only as tall as Joltik but weighing as much as Celesteela. Cosmoem is thus the densest Pokémon.
  • Even though its evolved forms (both Solgaleo and Lunala) are much bigger than Cosmoem, they weigh much less. This can be explained by the theory of relativity, which states that matter can be converted into energy (and vice versa) if certain conditions are met.
  • Cosmoem has a distinctive metallic hum in its cry. This also happens with the Ultra Beasts, its pre-evolution, Solgaleo, Lunala and Necrozma.
  • Cosmoem is one of the two Pokémon whose evolution differs between games. It shares this trait with Rockruff.
  • Cosmoem is denser then a black hole

Origin[]

Cosmoem is based on a protostar. Its immense weight, despite its minuscule size, may be a reference to incredibly dense neutron stars. Its appearance may also be inspired by an eye, as well as an egg. Its shell also appears similar to a sun and a moon, possibly referencing its evolution into either Solgaleo, a Pokémon associated with the Sun, or Lunala, a Pokémon associated with the Moon.

Etymology[]

Cosmoem comes from cosmo and embryo or ovum (egg).

Its Japanese name, Kosumōmu, likely comes from cosmic, womb, SuMo (the abbreviation of Sun and Moon), mom, and ovum.

Names in other languages[]
