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.

It has been said that they swallow those who get too close and turn them into mummies. They like to eat gold nuggets.

Grave robbers who mistake them for real coffins and get too close end up trapped inside their bodies.

Cofagrigus Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Cofagrigus works as a trick room with 483 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire for the right team. Will O Wisp with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Will O Wisp, Toxic Spikes, Painsplit, and Hex on Cofagrigus. Will O Wisp is the most common pick at 0% usage. Hex provides reliable STAB damage.

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.
