Cofagrigus exParadox Rift #224 Pokémon Card

Cofagrigus is a Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, evolving from Yamask starting at level 34. Known as the Coffin Pokémon, it is often found haunting ancient ruins and tombs, particularly in the Unova region. Its Pokédex entries frequently describe its eerie behavior of turning humans into mummies and then absorbing their life force, though it only preys on grave robbers. Cofagrigus is characterized by its golden, sarcophagus-like body with four shadowy arms that emerge from its sides. It has a distinctive face-like mask on its chest and two red eyes. In the Pokémon games, Cofagrigus is valued for its high Defense stat and unique ability, Mummy, which changes the opponent’s ability to Mummy upon contact. In the anime, it has appeared in various episodes, often depicted guarding ancient treasures or as a formidable opponent in battles. Its design draws heavily from ancient Egyptian mythology, specifically the practice of mummification and the mystique surrounding pharaohs' tombs, making it a culturally resonant Pokémon that appeals to fans of history and the supernatural. Its unique typing and defensive capabilities give it a distinct role in competitive play.
