Although Cofagrigus is a decent performer in Pokemon GO, it cannot do much in the current meta of the Master League. Multiple creatures can outclass it in this category.

Better alternatives would be Gliscor, Steelix, Virizion, Kommo-o, Toxicroak, and Ninetales. However, if you still want to build a team around Cofagrigus, the reliable choices would be Dragonite, Xerneas, Giratina (Altered), Rayquaza, or Dialga.
