- Cofagrigus has the highest base Defense stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.

- No other Pokémon has the same egg group combination as Cofagrigus and its pre-evolution.
- Despite its body being covered in pure gold, and that its diet partially consists of gold bars, it is not Steel-type, nor can it learn any Steel-type moves.
- Its Shiny form appears to be covered in some other metal, although it may be colored gold.
- Cofagrigus is the only yellow Ghost-type Pokémon.
- Although Cofagrigus is able to learn Nightmare through breeding and Dream Eater through a TM, it does not learn any sleep-inducing moves.

Origin
Cofagrigus's design is based off a sarcophagus. It was also most likely based on supposedly cursed Egyptian tombs. Any trespassers in the tombs are said to fall under a "curse" from its owner, which is said to cause illness, serious injury, or death. The hype of cursed tombs was made popular when many people in a team of explorers in 1922, who had opened and entered King Tutankhamun's tomb, began dying after the exploration. Cofagrigus's ability to passively turn other Pokémon into mummies that in turn transform other Pokémon into mummies is very similar to the popular culture depiction of the spread of a "zombie virus" in horror films.
Name origin
Cofagrigus may possibly be a mix of coffin, sarcophagus, and egregious. Desukaan seems to be a combination of デス desu meaning death, and 棺 kan meaning coffin.
