Cofazor

**Cofazor** is a fusion featured in the Fusion Evolution Under Used Pet Mod. It is a fusion of Cofagrigus and Scizor, and can Mega Evolve with the Scizorite.

## Overview

While Cofazor's base is largely outclassed by other Steels such as **Cofazor**, its mega is a great defensive pivot due to its very good defensive typing and bulk. It can also run set-up sets with Swords Dance for lategame sweeps.

### Cofazor

* Maximum stats are calculated with 252 EVs, 31 IVs, and (if applicable) a helpful nature.

### Mega Cofazor

* Maximum stats are calculated with 252 EVs, 31 IVs, and (if applicable) a helpful nature.

## Sample Sets

Careful Nature

- Bullet Punch
- Roost
- U-turn / Will-o-Wisp

```

**Moves**

Poltergeist is Mega Cofazor's strongest STAB, dealing significant damage to Pokemon such as Tentoxys-Defense, Lycanserker-Dusk, and opposing Cofazor. Bullet Punch hits Pokemon like Manicuno-Galar, Tapu Koma, and Mega Glakiss for super effective damage. It's also boosted by Technician and is a priority move, which makes up for Mega Cofazor's lack of Speed. Roost lets Mega Cofazor stay healthy throughout the match, allowing it to switch in multiple times. U-Turn takes advantage of Mega Cofazor's high bulk and low speed; however, Will-o-Wisp is another option to further cripple physical attackers such as Buzzeggutor-Alola, Sirsola, and Kingtsar.

**Set Details**

Maximum HP and Special Defense investment and a Careful nature helps Mega Cofazor more comfortably take on Kokovoir, Dragalge, and Serpanadel. A Sassy nature and 0 Speed IVs is an option to maximize Mega Cofazor's ability to slow pivot into teammmates. Scizorite is required for Cofazor to Mega Evolve.

**Usage Tips**

**Other Options**

Knock Off can remove opposing Heavy-Duty Boots and other items from switchins like Dracolix, Umbat, and Slowton. Body Press takes advantage of Mega Cofazor's massive Defense and hits the likes of Roaramp, Pincurchitar, and Heatki; however, Cofazor's moveset is crowded enough as is so it usually cannot make room for it. Defog is an option for a more supportive role, but Cofazor has a poor matchup against many hazard setters so it is not recommended.

**Checks and Counters**

**Water-types:** Water-type Pokemon such as Volquag, Whimsilotic, and Kyottler take little from Bullet Punch and can stomach Poltergeists, threatening Cofazor with Scald burns.

**Fire-types**: Arctres-Galar resists both of Cofazor's STABs and uses it as setup fodder. Heatki and Mesflame can switch into Bullet Punch and threaten it with their STABs or set up hazards, but do not like Poltergeist.

**Electric-types:** Slowton can take any hit from Cofazor and underspeeds it, hitting it hard with Volt Switch or burning it with Scald. Noicity and Bruxray resist Bullet Punch and can hit Cofazor hard with supereffective coverage in Heat Wave and Crunch, respectively. However, neither can take Poltergeist well.

**Bulky Steel-types:** Steel-types like Mega Corveot and Ferros resist Bullet Punch and have more than enough bulk to take multiple Poltergeists; the former can use Cofazor as setup fodder while Ferros simply stalls it out. Accelest walls Cofazor if it has used an item, as that renders Poltergeist useless.
