Personally, I think that bulk up scrafty shouldn't rely on rest at all and should just stick a coverage move in the third slot in order to beat things. Spending additional turns sleeping while not doing anything is just asking for your opponent to crit you or set up while that shed skin chance fails to kick in. Depend on drain punch for recovery and you should be fine. Ice punch or stone edge will probably help you out more times than rest will anyway.

By the way, mods, I have just one little request. In the future, the bashing of electivire in competitive play should be an outright bannable offense. No warning, just straight up ban. He isn't top tier OU at all, but he is hardly as terrible as everyone makes him out to be! Why doesn't any other low end Pokemon who ended up in OU receive this bashing? Where was all the hate for unbreon and ninjask last gen and why is electivire still being bashed in a gen where he was never OU to begin with?
