Moves
========
*Shadow Ball is the best STAB option and has a chance of lower the opponents Special Defence
*Toxic Spikes is a great support move allowing Cofagrigus to help its team mates
*Will-O-Wisp will cripple physical attackers
*Rest is the most reliable recovery move Cofagrigus has
Set Details
========
*The EV spread maximize Cofagrigus physical bulk
* Colbur Berry allow Cofagrigus to tank dark moves better, mainly knock off
Usage Tips
========
*Be sure that all opposing poison types are dead before using toxic spikes
*Cofagrigus can switch into a myriad of physical attackers like Scizor, Heracross and Conkelldur and cripple them with Will-O-Wisp/Mummy or set up toxic spikes
*Cofagrigus usually lure dark types like Weavile, Mega-Absol and Krookdile. Thanks to Colbur Berry, it can tank a STAB Knock Off and burn them in return (Mega-Absol can be burned thanks to Mummy)
*After taking some damage and burning the opponent, rest can be used to re-mummy Guts users in case they switch
Team Options
========
*Heal Bell users such as Blissey and Sylveon are great partness because they can cure Cofagrigus after rest
*Cofagrigus don’t like to swith into Darmanitan and Entei, so Water types Pokémon like Volcanion and Suicune are nice team options
*Entry hazard support works really well with Cofagrigus because it can spin block
Other Options
=========
*Pain Split can be used over rest if your team doesn’t have access to heal bell
*An offensive trick room set is also a viable option for offensive oriented teams
Checks and Counters
=========
**Strong Special Sweepers**: Although Cofagrigus has a respectable special defense, it still takes heavy damage with no investment. Also, Will-O-Wisp/Mummy do not affect very much Special Sweepers and Shadow Ball usually does not hit hard enough.
**Strong Physical Fire types**: Darmanitan, Entei and Infernape can 2-3HKO Cofagrigus because they can’t be burnt after the first hit.
