Strategy Overview

Thanks to its solid mixed bulk, many resistances, and great abilities, Scrafty is a potent setup sweeper. Both Bulk Up and Dragon Dance sets are major setup threats because of Scrafty's access to STAB Knock Off, Close Combat, and Drain Punch for great overall power, utility, and sustainability. Staple Pokemon like Alolan Muk and Amoonguss can be setup fodder for Scrafty, letting it prey on common defensive cores. Bulk Up turns Scrafty into a bulky booster that can overwhelm defensive cores relying on Swampert and Bronzong. Dragon Dance sets can snowball out of control and use Scrafty's great bulk to secure multiple boosts. Scrafty is an especially good user of Terastallization, as it's bulky and enabled by flipping its few major weaknesses into resistances. Shed Skin is a fantastic ability to make status users like Vaporeon and Galarian Slowbro insecure checks to Scrafty, and Scrafty even has other good abilities like Intimidate and Moxie to facilitate its sweeping. However, Scrafty has major vulnerabilities to Fairy-types like Diancie and Scream Tail and Fighting-type revenge killers like Paldean Tauros-W and Paldean Tauros-F, so it's often pressured to exhaust Terastallization. Dragon Dance sets can struggle if they don't have the opportunity to acquire multiple boosts, and Bulk Up sets can be overwhelmed by strong special attackers like Toxtricity and Sylveon. Scrafty's low Speed trips it up by making it vulnerable to Encore and Taunt, and its average Attack makes it even more prone to Trick and phazing.
