Implication details

Claim: If a category is an elementary topos and has a generator, then it has a cogenerator.

Proof: For an elementary topos T\T, the power object functor P:Top→TP : \T^{\op} \to \T is right adjoint to Pop:T→TopP^{\op} : \T \to \T^{\op} and moreover is faithful. The first statement is part of the proof that PP is monadic (Johnstone, 2.2.7) and the second is a corollary. Therefore, from Lemma 9 here, if GG is a generator of T\T, then PGPG is a cogenerator.
