Strategy Overview
In a tier dominated by powerful Fighting-types, such as Heracross and Mienshao, Cofagrigus stands out as a great check to many of them. Breaking through Cofagrigus with physical attacks is very difficult with its gargantuan base 145 Defense and it can even take some special attacks due to its usable base 105 Special Defense. Base 95 Special Attack combined with access to Trick Room and Nasty Plot means that it can run a sturdy special sweeper set that is very difficult to stop. The icing on the cake is Cofagrigus's unique ability, Mummy, which helps weaken Pokemon with powerful abilities such as Azumarill. However, it has its flaws: base 58 HP hinders its walling abilities and the UU tier is filled with not only Fighting- but also Dark-types. Despite this, Cofagrigus is a great addition to many teams that need a reliable response to Fighting-types or a good spinblocker.
