Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I just fought wild Cobalion and it was... really lame
At first the fight was interesting because it boosted itself quickly and started to do too much damage. But when I had 2 mons left... it started spamming Sword Dance and Sacred Sword against my Ghost type that would have died to Iron Head...
They don't deserve 100% faith, they were the ones that spread the 600 mons on release on sword and shield, and USUM being actual sequels happening a few years later

If you run Utility Umbrella instead of boots, your Fire Blast won't be powered down by Rain. I have been trying this set with FB instead of WB with mild success. Is ok when it can do something, but most of the time is death fodder or doesn't get a chance to attack before Barraskewda 6-0s my...
Unburden doesn't raise speed like agility does, is more of an "invisible" speed boost, like what Choice Scarf does. In cart, you won't be able to see this speed boost, while in showdown, you can only tell by looking at the stats
