Cosmog is thought to be the pre-evolved form of Lunala. Although the trailer 18th trailer shows it, it does NOT show the other leaked sprite that is thought to be the pre-evolved form of Solgaleo. It seems that Cosmog is still a mystery to some, but in reality, it probably has no importance to the story at all. Also, the official site proves this pre-evolution theory wrong as well. What do you think of the theory? You think it's true or false? Let me know.

Looking at these 2 side by side like this only makes the relation much more obvious. It's likely that they just don't want to reveal that it evolves into/has something to do with the legends yet. If anything that is likely part of the story. It has also been theorized by various people, as well as implied by the Riddler (one of the most credible leakers) that it evolves into the other small thing and then the legend
 
I'm really starting to think that Solgaleo and Lunala aren't Pokémon but artificial vessels for Cosmog instead. I mean, they are Pokémon in the sense that they have stats and abilities and types and are catchable as we already know but something about them always felt... manufactured to me. I think it's the space visor in their heads. Kinda like Magearna is the Soul Heart and not its robotic structure, you know? And the site entry for Cosmog mentions that Aether is researching it so they are definitely up to something.

I feel like the theory that Cosmog evolves into the other round space cocoon which then evolves into either Solgaleo or Lunala is the most likely scenario right now. I mean why would they introduce Lunala's prevolution on it's own?

I was thinking the other day about this whole line and I came up with the idea that maybe Solgaleo and Lunala watch over Alola in cycles. So for example in Pokemon Moon the reign of Solgaleo is coming to an end and the Cosmog that appears during the storyline eventually becomes Lunala and takes over from the old Solgaleo. (and vice versa in Sun)

and when that happens a new Cosmog is born (or maybe that only happens near the end of the cycle) which eventually becomes a Solgaleo and takes over from Lunala.

I feel like something like this could end up being the case. I hope so anyway, it sounds neat.
 
I think that Cosmog is definitely the pre-evo of the legendaries. It is clearly a special pokemon and it obviously has a space theme about it. That they haven't put it with the legendaries is because they don't want to spoil the reveal. Also something else to note is that in the data mine in addition to the cocoon sprite that was found there were two key items, a purple flute and a orange flute that both have the symbols of Solgaleo and Lunala on them. I believe that the flutes will be tied to whether you get Solgaleo or Lunala.
 
what if this pokemon is related but not via evolution but like a totem pokemon?

Ahh yeah I forgot about those!

What if it's like a split evolution thing where depending on which you blow it determines what legend you get?
Or was it a key item? if it was the it's basically still just version exclusive, though I imagine the items would be anyway but that would be interesting if you could trade them and use them like evolution stones. Or maybe it activates the transformations like different forms rather than evolutions and you can turn back into the cacoon or even Cosmog.

Tbh I don't like the cacoon at all as opposed to Cosmog (though the latter has the benefit of being in a trailer, but come on you can barely see a face). Also I wonder if either of the two will actually have really good stats for an unevolved pokemon just because the next steps for them are legends. Kinda makes it funny that Cosmog is so scared in the trailer considering that!

Well...it's a cocoon stage. Cocoon stages pretty much only have eyes going for them which the space cocoon has (even if it's just techically one giant eye in the middle.)

I just don't see the cocoon being a stand alone pokemon. Especially not in place of the cut scenes we saw cosmog in. It just seems like it's the awkward middle stage that will hatch into one of the legendaries if the split evolution theory is correct.

Oh yeah me either. Before now I figured it would just be part of an alternate line to Lunala and Cosmog with Solgaleo, but now that the trailer is out with no cacoon in sight I figure Cosmog is the basic stage and Cacoon is the 1st.
 
I just thought up a theory that no one else has really thought about before. What if Cosmog doesn't get a middle stage, but instead has three different evolutionary paths? What if the celestial "cocoon" object is one evolution and Solgaleo and Lunala are the other version-exclusive options?

I highly doubt this little theory of mine will come to fruition, but it does give you something to think about...

But why make a cocoon Pokémon that never completes it metamorphosis?
 
Going by the cocoon's "eye", it's pupil is two diffrent colors that match Solgaleo and lunala's eyes.

Cosmog probably goes through more of a literal metamorphosis process than any of caterpillars ever did. Turns to mushy infinite space inside a jar >> hardens >> becomes either a bat or a lion that still reconizes you as it's a master and possibly wants to protect you and it's home from the ultra beasts.

Maybe this cosmog, the very obviously plot related one, is the baby of the legendaries we saw in the previous trailers. Like you see the evolved forms once, but can't catch them either because the batitle gets interrupted or its a kyuurem situation. And then cosmog just ends up growing up over the corse of the game and you technically already owned one all a long.

I was going off the possibility that it might not be a cocoon, but I still expect it to be one anyway. I just thought that bringing up the possibility would promote more discussion about different possibilities. After all, look how Zygarde turned out:we all expected Z and to expand upon the relation of the Kalos legendaries, but Game Freak decided it was too predictable and instead retconned Kalos out of not only the possible origin of Mega Evolution with ORAS, but also moved Zygarde to Alola leaving Kalos with very little lore-wise.

I just want to make sure that we're covering all of our bases here.
 
I think Cosmog and the entire line will work in 2 parts like the story. First part will involve trials and a way to evolve Cosmog, second part will involve Spacecoon and the 4 Tapu dungeons to gain access to the Sun/Moon Flute to finally evolve it to either Solgaleo/Lunala.
