Strategy Overview

Cofagrigus has a high amount of bulk that allows it to serve as an effective wall. Its Ghost typing allows it to spinblock the likes of Hitmontop and Blastoise, and it also bears a few disruptive moves such as Will-O-Wisp, Haze, and Toxic Spikes. Its unique ability, Mummy, is decently useful and allows it to neutralize the abilities of common threats such as Fletchinder, Mega Glalie, and Medicham that rely on them, severely reducing their threat level. However, Cofagrigus is extremely slow, which makes it very easy to revenge kill. Its Dark and Ghost weaknesses leave it vulnerable to numerous common Pokemon in the tier, as well as the ever-popular Knock Off. In addition, it lacks reliable recovery outside of Pain Split, which makes it easy to wear down with entry hazards, status, and repeated attacks. Its lack of a varied offensive movepool also leaves it highly vulnerable to common threats such as Meloetta, Mega Camerupt, Braviary, and Drapion. Additionally, it faces stiff competition from Spiritomb and Jellicent as a bulky Ghost-type.
