Cofagrigus Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Cofagrigus works as a trick room with 483 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Black 2 & White 2 for the right team. Shadow Ball with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Black 2 & White 2, watch for Chandelure (Ghost) and Hydreigon (Dark) when using Cofagrigus. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 30 Speed, Cofagrigus won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Mummy changes attacking Pokémon's abilities to Mummy on contact. That's the one you want on Cofagrigus. It's the only ability Cofagrigus has.
Cofagrigus is a special attacker with base 95 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the trick room role.
In Black 2 & White 2, run Shadow Ball, Will O Wisp, Painsplit, and Haze on Cofagrigus. Shadow Ball is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the trick room role with a mix of damage and utility.
