Pokemon GOdevelopers at Niantic have provided specific ways of getting Cosmog and Cosmoem. While some monsters are easily available in the wild, some encounters require hatching eggs or completing specific Research tasks. The same is true with Cosmog; participants of A Cosmic Companion and Starry Skies Special Research quests can get their hands on the legendary Pokemon.
Cosmog is a soloPsychic-type legendary Pokemonoriginally found in the Alola region. It has a lowPokemon GOCP of 489, increasing once players evolve the monster. Players with a Cosmog can evolve it into a Cosmoem and later into a Solgaleo or Lunala. After evolution, the real value of Cosmog shines with a fantastic moveset and stat spread. Many players are seen wondering if they can get a Shiny Cosmog and Shiny Cosmoem, and this guide explores the best way to get Cosmog and Cosmoem while exploring their Shiny availability.

How To Get Cosmoem In Pokemon GO
Players cannot directly encounter a Cosmoem; one needs to get a Cosmog and evolve it into a Cosmoem. The evolution process requires 25 Cosmog Candy, but it is tough to get the necessary amount. Trainers must complete several tasks from A Cosmic Companion Special Research tofarm Cosmog Candy inPokemon GOand initiate the evolution.
Cosmoem is a solo Psychic-type monster with a maximumPokemon GOCP of 924. The monster originates from the Alola region and possesses a defense-centric stat spread of 54 ATK, 242 DEF, and 125 STA. Once players get a Cosmoem, they can evolve it into a Solgaleo or Lunala under certain conditions.
Pokemon GO: Can Cosmog And Cosmoem Be Shiny?
While players can complete several tasks to get a Cosmog andlater evolve it into a Cosmoem, the same cannot be said for their Shiny variants. Shiny Cosmog and Shiny Cosmoem have yet to be added toPokemon GO. One thing to note is Niantic rarely debuts a monster’s Standard and Shiny variant at the same event or year. Since the Standard variants were added a year ago, Shiny Cosmog and Shiny Cosmoem may be coming in future events.
