Cofagrigus is a coffin-like ghost Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. It is the evolved form of Yamask.

Information

Cofagrigus evolves from Yamask at Level 34. It appears to be a coffin with eyes and a mouth as well as two sets of shadowy arms which stretch out from its body. They have bodies covered in pure gold and like to eat gold nuggets. Cofagrigus often pretend to be elaborate coffins in order to teach lessons to would-be grave robbers. However, it appears that some of these lessons may be permanent ones, as Cofagrigus have been said to swallow those who get too close and turn them into mummies (although this may just reflect their Mummy ability).

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, it commonly appears in the lower floors of the Relic Castle.

Trivia

• Its name seems to be a combination of "sarcophagus" with "egregious" (which means to stand out in a negative manner, a description that could be applied to Cofagrigus), and the name is also arranged in a way to suggest "coffin".
