Scrafty

Boasting access to the rare combination of Fake Out and Intimidate, Scrafty finds itself a niche as a very effective utility Pokemon. Scrafty's above-average bulk and unique typing, combined with the aforementioned Intimidate, allow it to switch into multiple threats in Doubles OU, such as Zygarde and Tyranitar. Thanks to a wide movepool, Scrafty also finds itself capable of dealing respectable damage to a variety of Pokemon while maintaining good neutral coverage with its STAB attacks. Knock Off is usually its strongest damage-dealing option and doubles as another utility move, especially against Pokemon carrying the ever-present pinch Berries. However, Scrafty is still a utility Pokemon at its core, and relying on it to be a consistent source of damage will often lead to disappointment. While it competes with Incineroar in this role, Scrafty still finds a place on teams that want to avoid stacking weaknesses to common types like Ground, Rock, and Water. Unfortunately for Scrafty, the ubiquity of Fairy-types in Doubles OU means that it can often be scared off the field thanks to its lack of counterplay for such Pokemon as Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele. However, Scrafty's ability to compress a few different roles into one Pokemon still makes it a strong pick on multiple team archetypes.
