Strategy Overview
Scraggy is one of the most dangerous setup sweepers in the tier, packing an unresisted STAB combination, great special bulk, and Bulk Up, threatening virtually every team and cementing itself as a top-tier Pokemon. Scraggy's bulk and resistance to Stealth Rock are useful tools that help it check many special attackers like Zebstrika, Beheeyem, and Vanilluxe and set up in front of defensive staples like Stunfisk, Bronzor, Audino, Klang, and Mawile. However, even though Scraggy is a difficult Pokemon to stop once it has boosted a few times and threatens an immense portion of the meta, it can still come up short due to it relying on Shed Skin to decrease its Rest turns, as it is vulnerable to being whittled down while sleeping, leaving it unable to sweep. Its Attack is lackluster before Scraggy sets up, letting checks such as Monferno and Torterra can easily come in on it with little risk.
