Cofagrigus Best Moveset
One of the hardest physical walls without Mega access at 145 Defense. 95 Sp. Atk fires Ghost TermStab with decent special damage between 30 Speed recharges. The rate is glacial, but nothing physical breaks through. The moveset absorbs and retaliates at its own pace.
Mummy deactivated the opponent's ability on contact in Gen V (Black & White). 145 Defense walled physical attackers, and Mummy punished them for touching it.

Dropped in Gen VI (X & Y). Knock Off hit Ghost super-effectively and removed items. Physical attackers that once feared Mummy now just Knocked Off Leftovers and moved on.

Between tiers in Gen VII (Sun & Moon). Nasty Plot from 95 Sp. Atk wasn't enough to sweep, and 145 Defense without HP or Sp. Def couldn't wall the whole format.

Fell to the bottom in Gen VIII (Sword & Shield). Mummy was a gimmick that stopped mattering once opponents switched out. Four gens of decline from a solid debut.

Cofagrigus Weakness
Cofagrigus's Ghost typing leaves it vulnerable to Ghost and Dark. It shrugs off Normal and Fighting-type attacks completely. Cofagrigus's physical bulk (base 145 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Ghost, Dark |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Poison, Bug |
| 0x (Immune) | Normal, Fighting |

Cofagrigus Guide
Use Cofagrigus as a trick room. Splits damage between physical and special. It's slow, so Trick Room or priority moves are key. Hex is the primary attack.
Run Bold on Cofagrigus. +Defense is what matters, and the -Attack cut doesn't hurt this set. Fits the trick room role.
Game Availability
Since Black & White, Cofagrigus has been obtainable in 8 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Cofagrigus has appeared steadily across every generation since.
