Cobalion, one of the members of the Swords of Justice, can be discovered in the Crown Tundra by hunting down Iron Will Footprints scattered across the landscape.

How to catch Cobalion in Pokémon Sword and Shield Crown Tundra explained
Ensure you have enough PokéBalls, around 50 Ultra Balls is a good number, and enough healing supplies for your team before you begin your battle against Cobalion in the Crown Tundra.
Cobalion is level 70 and a steel and psychic-type Pokémon. It's weak against fighting, ground and fire-type Pokémon.
We recommend saving before you attempt to catch Cobalion, so that, if the battle isn't going your way, you can easily quit and reload your save file.
Carefully knock down Cobalion's health, until you've reached the final, red, section of the health bar, so that it's easier to catch. You can also use a Master Ball, if you have one, to ensure a 100% catch rate.
Cobalion does take damage from the hail weather effect. You can easily change the weather in the Crown Tundra by changing the date on your Nintendo Switch.
Team-wise, it's a good idea to bring a Pokémon that is around level 70 and knows moves Cobalion will be weak against. This way you can easily damage it, without having to worry about knocking it out. We also recommend bringing along some Pokémon with higher levels and more health, which you can easily use as a buffer when attempting to catch Cobalion.
It's also a good idea to either put Cobalion to sleep or paralyse it, so that your Pokémon don't take too much damage once you're focusing on tossing PokéBalls at this legendary.
