[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This is the most the most threatening and used Cofagrigus's set. Thanks to a combinantion of good bulk and perfect coverage, the tomb Cofagrigus can become a very sturdy and powerful and lethal special sweeper, very difficult to stop. Even if umboosted uninvested, his bulk his very good enough, so he can that he can still check Fighting-types and weak physical attackers, and setup on them use them to set up a sweep. Nasty Plot boosts his Special Attack to a respectable 634, while Trick Room makes Cofagrigus "faster" than many other any Pokemon. Shadow Ball is a reliable and powerful STAB attack and with has perfect coverage with Hidden Power Fighting. has perfect coverage in the tier (as in every tier). a little too much information The chosen item is Leftovers, because Cofagrigus needs all the HP it can get to setup. as the passive recovery helps Cofagrigus set up a sweep.<p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>The Evs EV spread is standard for a Trick Room Sweeper:. max Special Attack is maximized for maximum power, while max HP is maximized to maintain a good amont of bulk so that Cofagrigus remains bulky. and A Quiet nature with 2 IVs in Speed is used so that to reach minimum speed Cofagrigus is as slow as possible, while maintaining ensuring Hidden Power's power to 70 has 70 Base Power. The 2 IVs in Attack helps Cofagrigus taking Foul Play and confusion damage, and it helps against Umbreon and Sableye. reduce damage inflicted by confusion and the move Foul Play.</p>
<p>As for teammates, the main ones are Cofagrigus appreciates those that can setup set up entry hazards, since Cofagrigus's Special Attack isn't as high even after a Nasty Plot Boost. as this will help Cofagrigus break through the opponents team.so Rhyperior, Empoleon, and Roserade are good teammates, because they lures out pokemons Fighting-type Pokemon on which Cofagrigus can setup set up, usually Fighting-Types. Froslass is another good Spiker Spikes setter that works well with Cofagrigus, forming a double Ghost-type combo on which spinning is very difficult makes Rapid Spinning very difficult. Umbreon or and the rarer Clefable are great defensive teammates for Cofagrigus:. They can heal Cofagrigus via Wish or Heal bell, they have perfect type sinergy with the tomb, and they can lure out Fighting-types. As for offensive teammates, Choice Band Snorlax and offensive Porygon2 with Download are the best, with they have their good synergy and works well in Trick Room. ability to abuse Trick Room due to their low Speed stats.</p>
Obvioulsy, Cofagrigus is not perfect, in fact it is countered by Togekiss, Meloetta, Snorlax with crunch, and Milotic can easily stop his sweep cold so pokemon that can beat those threats are good teammates. Last, a good wallbreaker such as Nidoking and Porygon-Z can soften up special walls to make cofagrigus's life easier.<p> This is not the section for checks and counters.

<p>Cofagrigus's stats Spread distribution is made for a wall, and this set takes advantage of this just screams for a defensive wall. While it is not so as threatening or used as the Offensive Trick Room set, this set sees usage in full stall teams searching for that need a very sturdy spinblocker and Fighting-types counter. in fact, With his 145 base Defense and Ghost typing, it he can easily check all the fighting types Fighting-types in UU, besides with the exception of Scrafty,. and most physical Attackers in general, and smack them with a burn from Will-O-Wisp. He can also check most physical attacks in general due to his ability to cripple them with a burn via Will-O-Wisp. and With his base 95 Special Attack, he is not a setup fodder, and it vcan still hit hard with his STAB Shadow Ball. Pain Split is Cofagrigus's only usable form of recovery, and while it is not as very reliable, it permise to do some damage on bulky wall like Snorlax allows Cofagrigus to heal against Pokemon with high HP stats, such as Snorlax. in the last slot we find Haze is used in the last slot to stop things prevent sweepers like such as Swords Dance Heracross, and Substitute + Bulk Up Gallade from setting up sweeps, and while also checking Baton Pass chains. However, if you don't need that, Knock Off is an option for to remove Leftoverses and Life Orbs.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>The EVs spread maximises physical Defense because Cofagrigus is meant to check Fighting and Bug-Types like , such as Heracross and Cobalion. An option not linsted in the analysis is Rest + Sleep Talk for provides a more reliable method of recovery, but it means that you have to drop Haze or knock off Knock Off, so use only if you have another Hazer in on the team. Cofagrigus's best friend here is Umbreon:. It has a very good sinergy with the mummy Coffin Pokemon and he can heal it with Wish and Heal Bell. Clefable is in a similar vein can do this as well, but is more rare an not as bulky as Umbreon. Special sponges like Snorlax and Porygon2 works well at taking strong special attacks, while Cofagrigus can switch on Fighting-type moves directed at them. Finally, since Cofagrigus lures out Dark-types, good switch-in on them, like bulky waters and steel-types are good teammates, and togheter they make a good defensive core Steel-types, such as Registeel and Empoleon, make good teammates.</p>
[Other Options]
<p>With access to Calm Mind and titanic bulk, a bulky Calm Mind set seems usable:. Sadly, lack of reliable recovery hurts Cofagrigus and the set is generally is outclassed by the offensive Trick Room set. the remainder of Cofagrigus support is full of gimmicks: Curse, Destiny Bond, Heal Block and Magic Coat are all support options he can use, but, as said, they're all gimmicky at best, and write an analysis about them will ruin their effectiveness. in the offensive departement, we found Offensively, Cofagrigus has Grass knot and Energy Ball to hit Swampert and Rhyperior, but a burn hurts them enough. Hex is a Ghost-type Move that has 100 Base Power when the opponent's Pokemon is statused suffering from a status condition, but Shadow Ball is generally better, because it is more reliable and has more PPs. last, A Choice Specs set with Trick is an option, but is outclassed by Chandelure, that has more power and the Fire-type STAB.</p>
[Checks and Counters]
<p> The best counters to offensive Cofagrigus are Togekiss and Calm Mind Meloetta:. Both are immune to Shadow Ball and and laughs at Hidden Power Fighting due to their high special bulk and neutrality space to the move; the former can paraflinch set up Nasty Plots on Nasty Plot Togekiss is much more dangerous Cofagrigus to death and Roost off the any damage, while the latter can set up use Calm Minds and kill KO Cofagrigus with Shadow Ball. They both have acces to Heal Bell, so they can even beat the defensive set with ease. Choice Band Snorlax with Crunch can take an Hidden Power with his supreme bulk and destroy it Cofagrigus with Crunch or Pursuit, but fears a burn from the defensive set, so be careful. Offensive Roserade can switch in on Trick Room or Nasty Plot and OHKO with Leaf Storm, while and can healing a burn with Natural Cure. Milotic has Dragon Tail or Haze to stop offensive Cofagrigus and can take a +2 Shadow Ball. Furthermore, Will-O-Wisp activate Marvel Scale, increasing Milotic's defense. The rare Cryogonal is the only Spinner that can beat Cofagrigus:. It has Haze to prevent Cofagrigus from boosting and can bring it down with repetead Ice Beams. Strong Sucker Punch users like,such as Honchrow and Bisharp, can revenge space kill Cofagrigus by bypassing Trick Room, and usually they usually have Substitute to block Will-O-Wisp from the defensive set. however, When Trick Room runs out, powerful Dark and Ghost-Types can revenge space kill Cofagrigus with their STAB Attacks.</p>
<p>The defensive set is much easier to counter: Fire-types, like such as Arcanine and Darmanitan, can switch in on a Will-O-Wisp or and Shadow Ball and hit hard with their Flare Blitzes. Chandelure and Victini works too, but they are weak to Shadow Ball, and they should be careful switching in. Specially based Dark-Types such as Zoroark and Houndoom don't care much about a burn and they are resistant to Shadow Ball, so they are good checks. all in all, In general, hitting Cofagrigus hard on the switch and hiting it with status is a are good ways to bring it down.</p>
