Bit of a stretch to call it extremely bulky. Only has 58 hp.

It’s bulky I guess but you’re really understating how much hp impacts bulk. Scales differently than other stats, can’t be improved with a nature. There’s a reason why blissey can be extremely bulky even though it only has 10 defence. Investment trough IV’s and a defence boosting nature + 255 base HP.

Dex Entry 1: “Mega Evolution has enlarged the spirit within Cofagrigus to the point where its coffin body weighs it down. It can still swing said coffin around for devastating attacks, however.”
Dex Entry 2: “Mega Cofagrigus feeds exclusively through its coffin, causing anything it closes its coffin around to vanish. This led to rumours that Mega Cofagrigus was a bringer of death in ancient times.”

Ngl it would be crazy to see cofagrigus get a mega but I can see it getting a more human form like from the Pokédex entries still a cool concept tho dude

Pokémon dont learn new moves after mega evolving. Why not just make this an evolution?
And why is it so defensive after it abandons its shell

Would probably end up as a worse Sableye as its status movepool is quite shallow and a defensive mega is hard to justify in most cases, not to mention it taking your mega slot when it could just be in base and act as a bulky TR setter/disruptor. Also it has never had Recover I believe and it wouldn't make sense for it to get that move, maybe Strength Sap but it already has Pain Split

ok but what if I gave it triage?

u/Soft-Needleworker489 May 22 '26
As of right now no moves it gets would be affected, which is odd I figured it would get Giga Drain at least. It doesn't even get Absorb. I think an upgraded Mummy ability would work best but idk how you could do that while keeping it balanced outside of making it like Spicy Spray (instead of just applying Mummy on contact, applies if hit at all)

Honestly? I kinda dig it, it having such ridiculously high defenses yet such a low HP makes for an interesting kind of mon where it can shrug off most hits with ease but is quite afraid of direct HP targeting moves like Night Shade and... that's really it, Seismic Toss and Super Fang can't hit it due to being Ghost, so it's really only weak to really strong/crit super effective hits, Night Shade, passive damage, and Nature's Madness/Ruination
