Strategy Overview
Scrafty is an excellent bulky support Pokemon because of its access to both Intimidate and Fake Out, along with excellent defensive stats. By merit of its typing, it can also deal good damage to big threats such as Mega Kangaskhan, Heatran, Aegislash, and even Bisharp despite Scrafty feeding it Defiant boosts. However, besides Bisharp, it can't directly KO many Pokemon with its average Attack stat and low Base Power moves, so it can sometimes be passive and easy to ignore for the enemy team. Its bulk also suffers because of its unfortunate 4x weakness to Fairy, making it much easier to remove than in previous Battle Spot Doubles metagames. However, Scrafty's niche is still uncontested, especially with Hitmontop losing popularity, so its support options make it well worth a teamslot.
