Everything we know about Cosmog in Poké mon Go Cosmog is a Gen 7 legendary Pokémon who can evolve into Cosmoem before either Solgaleo or Lunala. If you want to catch Cosmog in Pokémon Go, then you need to complete Step 1 of A Cosmic Companion. Evolving Cosmog into Cosoem only takes x25 Cosmog Candy, but the evolution process into Solgaleo or Lunala could be a completely different matter. Cosmoem, Solgaleo and Lunala. This is due to how, in the mainline series, Cosmoem's final evolution has always been tied to which Pokémon game you're playing. In Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun and Sword it will only evolve into Solgaleo, while, for Lunala, you must be playing Pokémon Moon, Ultra Moon or Shield. If you want the legendary which is not exclusive to your version, then it's time to do some trading. Since there's only one version of Pokémon Go, Cosmoem's evolutions can not be divided up in such a version.
