Previously, due to the censor that prevents Pokémon with offensive nicknames being traded on the GTS, an English language Cofagrigus could not be traded without a nickname.

Best answer

Because there was a bad word in his name.

Cofagrigus

Since all names had to be clean, and this one wasn't, it was deemed to be nicknamed forever. :o

Hope I helped. :)

Also, I think you could trade Cofagrigus if it had been nicknamed...

It was female
I would just name mine Cofgrigus. xD

I nicknamed mine Sarcophagi. I was hoping to do Sarcophaguy, but there wasn't enough room.
