Cofagrigus or Dusknoir

[ThatGuyOverThere]

I'd like your opinion on something...

Should I add Cofagrigus or Dusknoir to my team? They're both really awesome Ghost types, but I only want to have one Ghost type on my team.

[Anti_Hero]

I think both are equally good Pokémon, but I personally prefer dusknoir (never really used cofagius)

But again, never used dusknoir competitively

[EndearingCharacterTrait]

Do you want physical or special? That might determine your choice

[J-Awesome_One]

Well... I would suggest Dusknoir. Excellent defenses and can learn a lot of different attacks.

[SilverAngelus]

I highly recommend Dusknoir because it has awesome defenses and a good moveset.

I use Cofagrigus, mainly because its SpA is higher than Dusknoir and I can do Will-o-wisp+Hex to maximize damage. I also preferred eviolite dusclops. But if you are looking for a physical and special  wall while still packing a few punches, go ahead and choose Dusknoir.

Dusknoir has a more even spread of stats, can be a better wall (especially unevolved with eviolite) and has a wider movepool. On the other hand Cofagrigus can potentially be a trick room sweeper, if you are willing to breed him with Spiritomb to give him Nasty Plot. His "Mummy" ability can occasionally create interesting situations and spread to a whole team and I personally find it better than the Frisk or Pressure that Dusknoir has.
