I always will remember cofagrigus from that one fan comic (don’t remember the artist’s name), where a female archeologist is betrayed and killed by her partner in some ruins, and she unknowingly comes back as a yamask, unable to remember her face. Then later, we see her as a cofagrigus get her revenge by trapping her backstabbing old partner.

One thing about Runerigus is that unlike Mummy, which makes the Pokemon that hits you get that ability, Wandering Spirit trades it for your foe's ability. This can be used in order to troll your opponent with Regigigas or Archeops, for example. And it would had been awesome to pair with Slaking, if Pursuit (and Slaking itself) hadn't been cut from Gen 8

Couple these fun competitive romps with its awesome design inspirations, and they've easily become one of my favorite Pokemon lines.

I know Runerigus isn’t very good, but I just have a softspot for the big lug. He’s just a funny pile of rocks, plus I’ll always cherish my shenanigans with the Zamazenta fight and Wandering Spirit.

The thing that irks me about Pokémon is that when you have two counterpart Pokémon that are supposed to be similar reflections of one another: if Cofiregus gets nasty plot, then the least the should do is give Runeirgus swords dance.

To be fair, wandering spirit works a little differently from mummy. While I can imagine the effect to be pretty much the same in competitive, Pokemon with Wandering Spirit will swap abilities with any pokemon that hit it.

I've got to be perfectly honest. I always thought Cofagrigus was trash, but this video slapped me in the face for a solid 22 minutes. I'm flabbergasted by how strong and popular it was in the competitive environment. This video was a true eye-opener for me and I'm incredibly thankful for you making it.

This is one of my favorite Pokémon designs of all time. I wanted there to be a mega evolution where it steps out of the coffin like the mummy from soul eater. If it had recover it probably would have been on one of my competitive teams to this day. The alternative being my fav Florges.
